To the editor: Whereas your headlines in regards to the struggle in Ukraine are alarming and heartbreaking, The Occasions Editorial Board’s warning to put together for the subsequent pandemic was a name to motion.

One of the simplest ways to arrange for the subsequent pandemic is to make it possible for the Republicans don’t take management of the Home and Senate in 2022 and Donald Trump just isn't elected president in 2024.

The Republicans’ anti-science, anti-mask and anti-vaccine rhetoric must be a warning to us all.

To the editor: There's something tragically improper once I change from watching the demise and destruction in Ukraine on a world information channel, to seeing on a neighborhood L.A. channel that oldsters are protesting the sporting of masks by youngsters, with one of many mothers saying that requiring children to masks is the worst factor on the planet for them.

How embarrassing. Strive telling that to the dad and mom in Ukraine, whose youngsters are being massacred within the battle with Russia.

If these pampered, self-centered dad and mom in Southern California need to protest one thing, how about they step out of their sheltered world and protest this mindless and barbaric struggle?

To the editor: I used to be disillusioned with the opening paragraphs of the article regarding the attainable ending of the federal public well being emergency.

Noting virtually instantly that “greater than one-third of People” suppose the federal authorities ought to finish its pandemic emergency declaration offers the misunderstanding that there's vital public stress to do that.

It ignores or downplays the statistic reported later within the article that nearly 60% of People imagine controlling the coronavirus must be a precedence even when doing so requires restrictions.

I imagine extra accountable reporting would have emphasised that a vital majority of People are in favor of sustaining preventive measures, vigilance for public well being and preparedness for any future surge.
