How sad that we have people that don't care about everyone else, with a lot of people walking along Bathers Way shoulder to shoulder. It's a pity there weren't police on the scene to finethese idiots. A sad reflection on a small percentage of our society.

A BIG thank you to all the selfish people on Bathers Way in Newcastle that have put their families, friends and elderly people in danger from this terrible virus. Where were the police enforcing the rules set by the government and council closing down this blatant disregard of health authority's advice? Well done you idiots.
Alan Higgins, Newcastle West
CAN anyone tell me what the go is with these people going to Merewether for coffee and cake in their thousands and not giving two hoots about the consequences. How many people could get infections from just one person, you idiots?
Ken Stead, Lambton
What sort of idiots live around Newcastle? To see the amount of people flouting the laws at Merewether is sickening. Don't they have a brain? Apparently not.

FUTURE: who is going to be offering the help? Do we know who will need the most help apart from ourselves? Present: next time you consider venturing out consider this; do I really need to? It is pretty simple at the moment.
Vic Davies, Tighes Hill
IN these times everybody must keep their distance and wash their hands. The basis for the first is obvious. One infected person can potentially transmit the virus to 2.5 people. But why is washing hands critical apart from it being basic hygiene. Can somebody explain in terms a child could understand what role soap plays and what role the water plays?
Ken Thornton, Rathmines
ONE simple thing which can help us all is when walking anywhere just keep to the left, whether it be on footpaths or aisles in shops. Be careful when overtaking slower pedestrians. Simple etiquette.
Peter Beach, Cooks Hill
ON occasions during my time spent in PNG I had to make use of banana leaves, so initially I found the panic buying of toilet paper to be very funny. But we are now at a point where the actions of hoarders are endangering people's lives. Every time a person visits the supermarkets for the sole purpose of buying toilet paper they risk coming into contact with someone who has COVID-19. Please stop and think.
David McTaggart, Edgeworth
BRAD "Hazard" is a hypocrite. He or Gladys, or both, need to go when this is over. They both are responsible for letting people off the cruise ship that has caused most of the infected. Resign as your actions are responsible.
