COVID cleanse
<\/strong>It doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the transit system was and is a possible spreader of COVID (\u201cFight over scrubways,\u201d Feb. 11).<\/p>\n

But City Council members and transit advocates know better. Really? I didn\u2019t know they were infectious-disease experts. They should have been cleaning the trains way before this virus started.<\/p>\n

My gym cleans the machines after every use, restaurants clean up after every patron and grocery stores have ample supply of sanitizer and wipes.<\/p>\n

Politicians dismiss the cleaning as \u201chygiene theater\u201d and note scientific evidence that COVID doesn\u2019t spread easily over surfaces. That\u2019s a laugh. Then why does the science<\/a> tell us to constantly wash our hands and not touch your face? Remember, liberalism will get you killed.

Shove-l off
<\/strong>Well, I think the name Karen just got a reprieve (Maureen Callahan, \u201cSmug lefty is holier than plow,\u201d Feb. 10).<\/p>\n

The new name for the lunatic fringe is Virginia, thanks to Virginia Heffernan, the most self-entitled and ungrateful person in recent memory (and there\u2019s a long list of runners up).<\/p>\n

There was absolutely no reason for her to write a column about a generous and thoughtful neighbor. Imagine having someone concerned enough about your safety and the safety of your children to plow your driveway. I guess to Virginia it\u2019s some kind act of aggression.<\/p>\n

All I can say is, Virginia, go back into your angry, entitled hole. I will thank the wonderful neighbor who went above and beyond for a fellow human \u00adbeing. God bless him and his family.

\u2018Nazi aide\u2019 justice
<\/strong>As a lawyer and a Jewish educator, I wanted to commend The Post for publishing an article (\u201c\u200a\u2018Nazi aide\u2019 faces trial,\u201d Feb. 7) about a 95-year-old woman accused of being a secretary at a Nazi slave-labor camp where more than 60,000 prisoners were murdered.<\/p>\n

These stories may seem like old news<\/a>, but seeking justice should have no time limit.
Some may question: Why prosecute an \u201cold lady\u201d for what she may have done 70 years ago while she was a teenager? But she is alleged to have been a close aide to the SS commandant of the camp, so she had to know what murderous conduct went on.<\/p>\n

The memory of the victims compels us to seek justice for atrocities of any kind, of any time and of any place.

No LIRR mob ties
<\/strong>It is absolutely insulting and irresponsible for any media<\/a> outlet to stir up some type of connection between actions of family members of railroad workers dating back to the 1980s and work-related accusations made today (\u201cDoes the LIRR Have a Mob Problem?\u201d Editorial, Feb. 8).<\/p>\n

Our organization and its approximately 3,500 members deliver each and every day on projects and storm recovery and now are being unfairly labeled in some delusional way as thugs connected to the mob.<\/p>\n

Heroes moving heroes through a relentless pandemic deserve better as transportation workers then to be looped into a far-fetched laughable story.<\/p>\n

Accused workers with estranged family relationships dating back decades deserve a fair process to defend their careers, and this type of ethnic stereotyping is unfair and, most importantly, inaccurate.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s write about the historic work that has been achieved through a dedicated skilled workforce and save the drama for HBO.
