Help me nurse my wife through COVID

Q: My wife and youngest son have been diagnosed with COVID on home testing. Our son is having only common cold symptoms and seems otherwise all right; however, my wife is having an increasingly sore throat, such that she can barely talk, apparently due to swelling. Should I be concerned about this worsening and what can I do to help her?

Letters to the Editor

To the Munising Beacon Editor, In the December 1, 2023 edition of the Munising Beacon, you ran an opinion piece about short-term housing. It has at least three problems. Firstly, the writer doesn’t identify her/ himself. Secondly, fewer short-term rentals and less tourism is positive for places like Alger County because of, for example, more affordable housing and food, less environmental and health degradation, and a calmer, safer, and more stable community. Otherwise, you must endure thousands of beer cans in your yards and a crowded, trampled, and costly national lakeshore. Thirdly, the writer doesn’t say how to create a more beneficial balance between short-term rentals and a stable community.

Sara understood how important that pipeline is to the U.P. and her actions reflected that stance.
