To the Editor:

One thing missing from all the letters complaining of Gov. Murphy’s unfairness with regard to the closing of nonessential businesses as a means to control the spread of the virus is a lack of empathy or compassion for those who have become sick and/or died.

Being a senior with underlining medical conditions, I fully support what the governors have tried to do, with some mistakes, in the absence of national leadership and the presence of national denial.
