Dear Editor:

 To the author of last week’s Letter to the Editor regarding Cuomo Criticism Off Base, I say, you are the one that is way off base.

Re: (“Stay The Course” from 5/7/20 issue) Contact tracing in NYC is a fantasy. With infected people being asymptomatic for days, once the city re-opens, it will be almost impossible to know where your infection came from. Setting a bar like that will leave us in a lockdown state forever.

Let’s not forget why we locked down in the first place. The Rockaway Times had a cover to remind us. To “flatten the curve.” Has the curve not been flattened? Thanks to our amazing healthcare workers, the

 Dear Editor:

Are you afraid your readership will be insulted? I don't believe that he does everything right, by any means, but he is managing this crisis when leaders in Washington are not, and the numbers prove it. He is admired across the country and not just by Democrats. This paper barely finds anything

Dear Editor:

Each week I seek out the “Lazer Speaks” column, disappointed when its author may be on vacation, but I’m always overjoyed when I see the new title for his most recent work. I have often resolved to reach out to Mr. Pastina and renew an old - correction - very old friendship and tell him how much he means to me and how inspired I become when I read his columns in the Rockaway Times.
