I read with interest Michael Reagan’s column in Monday’s edition of The Times Record (“2021 can’t be any worse, can it?“). And, with a certain amount of amusement at some of his comments. Frankly, I wondered what sort of world he’s living in. Is he aware that the death toll from the COVID-19 virus is […]

Letter to the editor: Train capable laypeople to give COVID-19 shots
I believe it makes sense for interested laypeople like myself to be trained to give the coronavirus vaccine. I am not afraid to give shots (I have dogs), and I want to help. I don’t want to be licensed or take jobs from anyone in the future or now. I understand there are probably state […]
