Letter to the Editor: Protect your friends and neighbors

It is very sad that Cordova is experiencing so many new COVID-19 cases. Good time to remind everyone that we are all in this together and it will take all of us working together to get through it.

Masks mainly protect your friends; when they, in turn, are masked, we’re all protected.

The more cases of COVID, the more opportunities this nasty virus will have to mutate! That’s the “down-side” to allowing more and more of us to get the virus. Even if you think it’s just a virus that you’ll survive, you’re allowing more potential for mutations. The more it mutates, the less our vaccinations will protect us from those new mutations.

Please, we really are in this together … and we won’t get out of it alive unless you and I both work to protect each other.
