Letters to the editor: March 28: ‘I’ll trade my respirator for easy access to medical assistance in dying.’ Readers brace for further effects of COVID-19, plus other letters to the editor

: Starting our self-isolation time, my wife was going through boxes and came across the following flyer issued in 1940 by the United Kingdom Ministry of Information for the War Office and Ministry of Home Security: “STAY WHERE YOU ARE: If this island is invaded by sea or air, everyone who is not under orders must stay where he or she is. This is not simply advice: It is an order from the Government, and you must obey it just as soldiers obey their orders. Your order is ‘Stay Put.

The flyer also answered, “What will happen?” “How shall I prepare to stay put?”"How can I help?” It concluded with: “STAY PUT: It’s easy to say. When the time comes it may be hard to do. But you have to do it; and in doing it you will be fighting Britain’s battle as bravely as a soldier.”We are living through a tricky time, but nothing compared with Britain in 1940 and other places at other times. We should just do what’s right and keep our spirits up.

Some say hope is not a strategy. But hope got us through those dark days. Now as my wife and I walk, no longer to Tims, but along the local trails, we are meeting many others for the first time. We feel a reawakening of the old civilian wartime spirit.Gordon Salisbury
