I realize that in California it's de rigueur to blame Trump for everything that's wrong in the world, COVID -19 is no exception, but even our so-called experts can't agree what to do about it (Mailbox, July 16). However, no doubt if Biden wins in November the crisis will fade away.

Also one should take the reported escalating numbers of the infected and dead with a jaundiced eye. For example, the widow of an astronaut recently passed away from the virus, the fact that she was 100 years old had nothing to do with it. And yes, we should just "live with it" as it's going to be around for a long time.
