Holly Kee: How are you making a difference?

While people and nations around the globe are condemning the invasion and showing support in a number of ways, one man from a rural county in America's Heartland decided he could make a difference in Ukraine.

Rich Miller: With appellate court punting on masks, what happens when next variant arrives?

This entire controversy over Sangamon County Judge Raylene Grischow's odd ruling earlier this month that statewide mask/vaccine/testing mandates at schools are a "type of quarantine" and therefore fall under the state's quarantine laws (which include individual due process protections) could've all been prevented with a simple bill last year.

Letter to the editor: Lack of ICU beds due to COVID is a tragedy

To the editor: I have held my tongue for months but can do so no longer. Yesterday, I read an article published in the Carbondale Times titled, "Number of available ICU beds critically low, as COVID spikes in region." After reading this article, I feel I must speak my mind about the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations for the health and safety of southern Illinois and for the preservation of our health care system. The article states that nearly all of southern Illinois' ICU beds are being used by unvaccinated patients who are critically ill with COVID-19. Let me be clear; the pain and suffering these patients and their families are experiencing is nothing short of a tragedy.

Letters to the editor: Not getting the vaccine is plain stupid

To the editor: I have been biting my tongue but I can't any longer. I must write about COVID. I am an old retired guy but the Carbondale community and Memorial Hospital mean a great deal to me. A doctor once told me as you age you become unfiltered but with me no one will ever know because I have always been unfiltered. I am sure my comments will offend some and for that I am sorry. There is no reason for us to be having a COVID problem. As a member of society we have a responsibility to our fellow man. We must protect each other. When you refuse to be vaccinated you are a threat to society, small children and medically compromised adults. You are a selfish threat.
