Dear Editor,

I would like to let you know how very much I appreciated your article in the Ask An Expert section explaining what the Coronavirus is and explaining the new Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and why the concern regarding it. The article was clear and easy to understand.

I’ve been hearing all the reports on the media about this, but, none of them tells you anything to help you understand what the virus is. I believe clear and accurate information like what was in that column is what people need to know how to be aware without being sent into a panic mode. I find your newspaper very interesting and am impressed that I can get this kind of information from a small local paper when it does not seem to be easily available elsewhere. Thank you.
