Re “Weighing an Immense Bailout for Businesses, With Strings” (front page, March 19):

As the federal government moves to help save states, communities, businesses and individuals with financial assistance, scant notice has been given to the needs of our many nonprofit educational, arts and service organizations — businesses and individuals vital to the national welfare, but that depend so much on grants and donations for survival. Attention must be paid to those groups by corporations, foundations, individual donors and government support.

We are, as often noted, all in this together.

Re “Don’t Feel Sorry for the Airlines,” by Tim Wu (Op-Ed, nytimes.com, March 16):

U.S. airlines support President Trump’s decisive actions to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. The safety and health of our passengers and employees are our top priority.

Before this crisis, record numbers of people were flying — more than 2.5 million passengers daily. Yet those numbers are deteriorating rapidly. Carriers are taking flights off their schedules. Cancellations are outpacing new bookings. It’s dire times for an industry that was healthy weeks ago.
