To the Editor:

I am writing in response to Ms. Scala’s article on Drs. Lattanzi and Hogan (“Rx: A Return to Normal Life – With Caution and Due Care”) and James Spickard’s letter (“Lockdowns Fail”), both in the Aug. 12 issue.

Both pieces advocate, essentially, reopening the economy and letting the chips fall as they may. Just look at Florida to see how well that will work out. Guaranteed, it will result in more infections and more death.
