To the Editor:

My wife and I, by decree from the president, governor, mayor and, most important, our children, have been sequestered in our home since early March because of the pandemic and the consequences to us if we were to be infected by this pretty-looking but deadly virus.

We are retired healthcare people and are well informed about viruses, bacteria, mold and other infectants as to their ability to cause diseases and how they do that. We don’t propose to be experts but are knowledgeable on the subject.
