Letter to the Editor: In support of wearing a mask
Why doesn’t the Mayor put forth a mandatory mask requirement, it would actually be very easy to enforce. My sister lives back east, where you are not allowed into any store without a mask. No mask, No service. There are still too many people in Gallup in high traffic areas, such as Wal-Mart, irresponsibly not wearing...
COVID-19 Observations
When you review the chart developed with data from “worldometers.info/coronavirus/” first remember this chart is dated as of: April 29, 2020 at 12 noon. It is interesting when you look at the data, you will note:[1] Worldwide there 3,174,134 cases with 220,446 deaths for a death rate of 6.9% which means 93.1% live. Also, if you look at the total world population of 7,773,595,500 people and calculate the death rate based on the world population it is far less than 1% at 0.0028%. So, comparing this to other well-known past pandemics - Spanish Flu from 1918 - 1919 had a death rate worldwide of 2.8% and if you calculate the death rate base on number of cases it was 9 to 11%. For...

Letter to the Editor: Overflow hospital needs community support and help
The new COVID-19 overflow hospital at Miyamura HS has been constructed in record time. In record time the National Guard together with local health officials have turned a gym into a 60-bed overflow COVID-19 patient care center. And we can all be grateful. They will be needing some supplies that we can provide. A website has been set up and we can all help. The website page is: https://acfmiyamura.wordpress.com/
The plan is for community members to sign up on the page and as needs arise, the hospital staff will post it, and this will be automatically emailed to those of us who have signed up. For example at the time of this writing, they will need sixty serving trays for patient...

Letter to the Editor: Easter thank yous
Thank you to everyone in Gallup who participated in my community window egg hunt.In these times of fear, uncertainty, and so many changes to our normal lives, it was truly uplifting to see this community join together for a little fun.
