Right so that is always been my argument that we don't know enough about this.The reason I post these articles is that people should read that they're all real concerns and use their head.Even myself and I am 34 and in prime physical condition (besides for drinking way too much wine) But I have to keep reminding myself to be cautious once my hand is 15 20 times a day with soap and if I'm out use hand sanitizer and gloves and a mask and everything.Because we don't know anything about this and it's vastly different than any virus we have ever seen.A cardiologist of 35 years told me that they don't know why / how covid19 is affecting the heart.
You’re right that a small sample size isn’t necessarily a cause for panic, and the article he linked to said as much.But there is a big difference between a known small danger and a danger which, because of the small sample size to base it on, is not known about yet. You cannot discount the fact that other viruses are dangerous to unborn children, and we have no proof that that’s not the case here. It’s not helpful to fearmonger (verb?) but it’s helpful to point out additional reasons to stay as cautious as possible, even if you think you understand the risks.
Are you really comparing something that has killed hundreds of Jews and (based on current estimates) kills nearly 1% of everyone infected to climate change?Wow.
Or you reach a point where everyone ignores you completely and run the risk of everything falling away.
To each their own. I was ignored in February and in March..ignore me again. I'm not running for Congress, I'm just laying out the facts and the dangers
As more antibody tests are being administered, they are seeing that infection rates were so much higher, and hence death rates so much lower. The article below says based on this NY antibody test it’s looking like a 0.6% death rate. Take out the high percentage of deaths only within nursing homes (I read a full 58% of deaths in NY were in nursing homes and in Colorado it’s 64%) and the risk of dying to the average person who doesn’t live in a nursing home is WAY lower than what is hyped. I’m not at all diminishing the seriousness of the virus, the many vast unknowns of long term affects, and need for caution and good health protocols to limit its spread but the models and predictions we heard even a couple weeks ago were wildly exaggerated. Numerous times over the last month I’ve thought back to a writing of the Rebbe where he dismissed concerns about carbon dating in calculating the age of the earth because as he so wisely stated it, while we can easily read a piece of information, taking that information to try then to extrapolate a prediction beyond that information (whether it’s a timeline of age, models of climate change, or death predictions from a virus) is extremely difficult.Here is a link to an article referencing the NY infection and death rates.https://nypost.com/2020/04/25/coronavirus-models-deal-another-blow-to-faith-of-americans-devine/
Can’t be. The Jewish community in the NYC area was hammered nebech with so many deaths yashem yirachem.
Jewish community has been an anomaly (Specific message from Hashem) but the overall population it is true.
Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Given the incubation period and the fact that it’s a frum guy who presumably goes to shul it is exceedingly likely that it is already becoming widespread in the frum community as we speak.
The infection rate was so much higher here than what you might think. A very small fraction had tested, and a very large majority showed symptoms. But still that's very bad news, it shows how contagious this virus is.
Ironically, the same people that claimed that corona is not a big deal and isn’t spreading in the US, are the same people saying that corona is all over the place and 99% of the population already got it. Whatever fits the new agenda. Just make sure to keep moving the goal posts.
NYC death rates 11,817. If That is based on the fact that 20% got it. If God forbid 40% got it. The death toll wouldn't be 24,000 it would be 48,000 God forbid.They would have run out of beds, medicine, equipment, health care workers etc.
