AOC’s Florida enjoyable
Movies of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez partying and dancing in Miami Seashore with out a masks show two issues (“Maskless lefty AOC in Fla.,” Jan. 1).
First, she is a hypocrite and a humiliation to her constituents in her district in New York. She does a disservice to the individuals who elected her.
Second, she reveals that Florida, together with different crimson states, are doing the appropriate factor relating to dealing with COVID.
Why is it that solely blue states shut down and put out mandate after mandate to wreak havoc on people and small enterprise which might be attempting so onerous to have a standard life once more?

Campus COVID
Dr. Marty Makary’s column about universities’ COVID insurance policies takes a really slender view of the danger posed by unfold of COVID on faculty campuses (“Faculties digital gulags as hysteria spreads,” Jan. 5).
Whereas faculty college students could also be at low danger for extreme sickness, they don't reside in a bubble on campus. Unfold amongst college students inevitably leaks into the encompassing group via their interactions with school and employees, their off-campus actions and their returns again to their households and communities removed from the campus.
Early analysis is discovering a a lot greater charge of asymptomatic unfold with Omicron. This poses a big menace for the older and susceptible residents in communities with massive faculty populations.
Whereas not each greater training establishment has gotten each determination proper, aggressive surveillance testing and isolation on campus are vital interventions for the broader group’s well being.

No-jail fail
What's James Connelly doing out of jail or a hospital (“ ‘Sticky fingers’ junk justice,” Jan. 1)?
He has almost 100 arrests below his belt. I agree nonviolent arrests won't require bail, however there needs to be a restrict as to what number of occasions he's allowed to commit against the law earlier than he's locked up and brought off the streets.
The left’s disregard for the welfare of the law-abiding residents is an outrage. These miscreants are a menace to society.
I, for one, will do all I can to see to it that every one of those left-leaning politicians are voted out of workplace as quickly as attainable.

Tom’s Penn truths
Bravo to Rep. Tom Suozzi for shining the sunshine on the unsafe and harmful circumstances at Penn Station (“Penn Station — or Bust,” Editorial, Jan. 3).
And he isn't apologizing to the homeless-advocate foyer, which is able to try to cancel anybody who dares communicate the reality in regards to the mismanagement and enabling of the homeless and mentally sick by the de Blasio administration.
The underside line is that all of us wish to assist susceptible populations just like the homeless — with the expectation that they specific a willingness to take part in their very own restoration and don’t pose a menace to the protection of others.
Lastly, we've got a commonsense candidate for governor in Suozzi.

Betty’s legacy
The passing of Betty White on Dec. 31 introduced a really unhappy 12 months for many people to an in depth (“Bye, bye, Betty,” Jan. 1).
She introduced a lot pleasure, not simply together with her unimaginable appearing, however together with her real caring for others, each human and animal.
Betty White’s legacy needs to be a lesson to all of us. We'd like extra earthly angels that may unfold kindness and compassion to people and animals, particularly to the sick, lonely and forgotten amongst us.
