You do realize everyone in the civilized world is wearing masks, yes?
Also, what would be a number that would be considered “a real need to sound the alarm”? I believe some here have gone on the record with 20 a week as the baseline. What would be yours?
..... and finally. Are you still impressed with the “emunah” some have in a second wave coming, or do your eyes and ears tell you that there’s still no way such a thing can occur?
There is no evidence that I am aware of of significant community (tertiary) spread at this time. As long as cases are largely confined to primary contact with contagious out of towners, and secondary spread to family members there is no basis for alarm. A large amount of community spread from unknown sources is when alarm is warranted. This is not a second wave, and I do not envision one coming to Lakewood.
Maybe the doctors would be better off using their resources to combat some of the misinformation and educate the community about the basic facts. You have a very prominent personage telling people that no one died of Covid; the doctors killed them all in the hospitals, and that the fact that one doesn’t hear of many childhood leukemia diagnosis in the past few months is evidence that they were caused by vaccinations, or that masks make people sick. Others are telling people that the whole aiva parsha was a lie- it never happened that doctors and nurses blamed it on minyanim etc. It’s time for a fact checking and public information campaign in those areas. That would be a good use of resources at this time.
