PERHAPS we should wait until we have achieved the same level of containment of the virus as Germany before we think about restarting football (How German football intends to restart next week – and what the Scottish game can learn from their masterplan, Monday).

I TOTALLY agree as a frontline worker who is working 12-hour shifts that restrictions should have been tougher to start with.

AS someone who has lived in Castlemilk for many years and indeed written to the Glasgow Evening Times (in the past) outlining the very lack of decent shops here, I truly hope that Stefan King’s G1 Group (which has taken over the Braes shopping centre) is committed to its regeneration.

IT’S a scandal! (South Side residents rage as dirty masks and gloves dumped in street, Glasgow Times online).

Tory impact on country

Use the bins

Pair are found out

THIS is terrible news (City Blinds and Shutters ceases trading immediately – with 63 jobs lost, Glasgow Times online).

CLAPPING the NHS each week is all well and good but surely we can think of a more permanent recognition?

I NOTE the council stopping the free bulk uplift service.

I’M very worried about what’s going to happen after the weekend when the rest of the UK begins to ease lockdown, while Scotland chooses not to.

The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee has sent a letter to NCAA leaders, conferences and schools requesting details about how college athletes can be compensated for their names, images and likenesses.

Just off a quiet bush track near one of Queensland's most popular look outs, little notes and letters are left in a portal to childhood magic..

Cut out Saturday mail Re: “Coronavirus threatening delivery of the U.S. mail,” April 10 news story

Striking a balance Easing the restrictions on COVID-19 risky activities is like setting a speed limit on our roads. The higher the speed limit, the greater the freedom to drive as one pleases, and the greater the number of statistically probable deaths. There are those who would advocate for unfettered freedom notwithstanding higher death rates, and vice versa. The political and economic challenge is in finding a socially acceptable balance. Although one might differ from our elected leaders on where to set the limits, or how fast to proceed in adjusting those limits, there is going to be a trial-and-error period during which data and societal feedback will trend toward an acceptable trade-off between freedom and harm. Let’s cut our local leaders some slack as they attempt to strike a balance.

Poisonous rhetoric Re: “Inside state’s growing anti-shutdown movement,” April 27 news story and “Polis responds to lawmaker’s criticism of stay-home order,” April 16 news story In a world of social distancing, words are often our only means of communication. I am disconcerted that those in the anti-shutdown movement use them to divide our community. The chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, Ken Buck, draws an inaccurate parallel between feared Marxist regimes and Gov. Jared Polis’ actions to carefully preserve public health and production at the same time.

Appeal from an isolated, grieving mother Dear stay-at-home protesters,

Pay cut, Congress? With so many people unemployed and hurting financially in so many ways, I think it is time to ask Congress to take a pay cut to free money for individuals and small businesses that need help.

My body, your choice? Re: “Inside state’s growing anti-shutdown movement,” April 27 news story

Hello, I’m feeling pretty helpless at the moment, as I’m sure you are too. I’m especially worried about the countless people–many elderly and vulnerable–who now find themselves isolated in their homes, alone, unable to see friends and family, some facing months with very little human contact, if any at all. At the risk of furthering

Dear all, It gives me untold amounts of pleasure to announce that the Letters of Note website has been given its first facelift since I naively launched it in 2009 using a bog-standard Blogger template.

Many Times readers have taken issue with two letters in this week's Travel section, which criticized a Nov. 27 article about National Park sites that address issues of race and ethnicity in America's history.

The acceptance of national letters of intent for NCAA Division I and II sports has been suspended until at least April 15.

A former LAUSD teacher says that realities of sanitation in the district made closing schools absolutely necessary.

It isn't for lack of trying by teachers that some students aren't able to fully access the LAUSD's online learning curriculum.

Coronavirus closures are giving school districts an opportunity to evaluate their online learning efforts and how important teachers are to those programs.

People are making valid points about Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis, but the president's supporters aren't listening.

Gov. Newsom has taken to calling California a "nation-state" when discussing its efforts to fight the coronavirus. Constitutionally, that's not true.

Laguna Woods residents express dismay at their neighbors' opposition to using a nearby hotel as housing for homeless coronavirus patients.

With social distancing a must, this year's virtual celebration will be long remembered.

Local hotels have repurposed thousands of rooms for use by medical professionals and homeless people during the coronavirus pandemic.

Screening a sample of the population to see who has been infected with COVID-19 and who hasn't is a huge step forward in returning to normal life.

America's optimism may have blinded it to the coronavirus. Now, with suffering a part of our daily life, we have a chance to become a mature nation.

Easing sanctions on Iran, hard hit by the coronavirus, would be a humanitarian act that reminds the world of what America truly is.

Trump can't 'reopen' the economy, but Republican governors can follow his lead. If they do, Newsom must continue to protect Californians.

The Supreme Court is allowing the Republican Party to suppress the vote. This bodes very poorly for democracy in America.
