Both the newsletter article and Richard Keith Thomas’s comment made me ponder what was written. Having read Martin Davis first, I found myself rereading it after reading Mr. Thomas. I would like to thank both of you for stimulating my brain yesterday.
While Covid and masking and all the other variables involved in the pandemic were national news, Martin’s analysis helped me see how the crisis played out locally. I also feel that I have a much better perspective today than I had.. I actually don’t feel quite as exhausted by Covid stories and developments as I have been for the last 3 years.
In short, the newsletter helped me develop a new perspective and the comment allowed me to realize that it had. Thanks again to both of you.
This newsletter was presented initially as an effort to cover local issues or at least opinions on them, because the FLS had become mostly an outlet for AP national news and refused to spend the money to cover local issues. Instead, it focuses often on national news such as this story on covid and masking which are already widely covered by major news outlets and even arguably by the FLS. What is the point of redoing what others already do well enough?

P.S. I was able to leave the comment before the "sign in" email arrived, so there's still at least that glitch in the system.
Great article. Thank you.
