To all of my friends in the medical profession: I am thinking about you all of the time during this crisis. Staying hard in the face of tragedy is difficult enough when it comes in spaced-out intervals. Forced to deal with it on a continuous basis, day in and day out, is incomprehensible.
The psychological demands transforming into intolerable stress and physical wearing would make it impossible for most others to remain so strong.
You are all the pillars of our community.
When things are good, the politicians shine.
When things get bad, the firefighters and police officers step up as the heroes.
When it all falls apart, it is all of you who hold the rest of us up. Thank you!
We are here for you now, and we will be here for you when this is over — we will not forget what you are doing and going through, ever.

Kudos to Craig Catalanotto [“What Are We Doing?” Letters, April 18] and Barbara Ring [“Tangled Web” Letters, April 18] for their letters to the editor shining a light on the web of special interests, conflicts of interest and misinformation that...
September 11 and October 7, similar dates of infamy for strong allies with similarly divergent reactions. Now gathered mobs of protesters are cheering on those who cry “Death to America” and call for the complete annihilation and genocide of the...
On June 25, registered Democrats will go to the ballot box to determine who will represent their ticket for New York’s 1st Congressional District. Although CD1 has recently been held by Republicans, both parties have assumed leadership over the years....
I thank Barbara Ring for aptly proving my point. In response to my letter [“An Alliance,” Letters, April 11], which decried the state of civic public discourse in Hampton Bays as being overtaken by misinformation, fear-mongering and conspiracy peddling, Ring...
