Letter to the editor for people not obeying social distancing
Answers
Answer:
modify it as you want.
Explanation:
Dear Editor:
I am confused. The surgeon general and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have gone on national TV and suggested that we stay at home, maintain social distance of 6 feet if we are out in emergencies, and to wear face masks.
When I watch the news, I see people who should know better in close proximity and wearing no masks.
Some of the people I have seen not following the rules are:
Firefighters applauding healthcare workers at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY.
Sheriff deputies in Riverside standing in attention honoring fallen colleagues.
Mayor Garcetti and public health officials in a press briefing.
Lines at supermarkets with people only separated by the length of a shopping cart.
President Trump and his Covid-19 task force holding press conferences.
Finally, President Trump saying that he will not wear a mask. I guess he thinks he is invincible but is a bad example for the rest of us more common mortals.
If people continue not complying with the recommendation about Covid-19, they are creating the possibility that the pandemic will become endemic.
History will then be written by the Covid-19 virus.

Dear Editor:
During these challenging times, postal employees are working hard to ensure residents stay connected with their world through the mail. Whether it’s medications, a package, a paycheck, benefits or pension check, a bill or letter from a family member, postal workers understand that every piece of mail is important. While service like this is nothing new to us, we need our communities’ help with social distancing.
For everyone’s safety, our employees are following the social distancing precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health officials. We are asking people to not approach our carriers to accept delivery. Let the carrier leave the mailbox before collecting the mail. With schools not in session, children should also be encouraged to not approach a postal vehicle or carrier.
If a delivery requires a signature, carriers will knock on the door rather than touching the bell. They will maintain a safe distance, and instead of asking for a signature on their mobile device, they’ll ask for the resident’s name. The carrier will leave the mail or package in a safe place for retrieval.
We are proud of the role all our employees play in processing, transporting, and delivering mail and packages for the American public. The CDC, World Health Organization, as well as the Surgeon General indicate there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 is being spread through the mail.
With social distancing, we can keep the mail moving while keeping our employees, and the public, safe.
