Re Henry Warns Of Difficult Fall, Winter As Delta Variant Continues To Spread (Sept. 20): In defending her COVID-19 decisions, Bonnie Henry states: “I’ve tried to adhere to key principles that underlie what we are doing.

Dr. Henry should err on the side of public health, rather than compromise lives by trying to minimize “inconvenience.”
