Letter to the editor: Step in for our own, others’ safety during COVID-19 crisis
In this time of fear and uncertainty and with the imposing of “shelter in place” orders, many in our communities are at increased risk of experiencing harassment, assault and abuse.

Letter to the editor: Use Defense Production Act to direct making of COVID-19 supplies
In 1944, the Willow Run factory of Ford Motor Co. was rolling a B-24 bomber off the production line every 55 minutes, each of them assembled with 450,000 parts.

Letter to the editor: Cooperation, not accusations, needed to combat virus
I was interested in Marc A. Theissen’s March 20 column, “It’s time to practice social, economic distancing from China” (Page A7). However, I found some of his statements quite illogical.
