COVID-19 / Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Discussion / Re: Is there a second wave?
« on: June 21, 2020, 10:09:15 PM »Florida is not NY. Florida never got hit like NY.
With each passing day, it is becoming more and more likely that NY/NJ will not see a significant second wave, unless immunity runs out before a vaccine is produced. In addition, many people are still distancing/wearing masks (though it decreases by the day), the government is testing enough and has great data transparency to help people make better decisions. There are still new cases in NY, but despite reopening and protests, the numbers continue to decrease.
Compare to Florida - lack of data transparency, encouraging people to go out unsafely, less herd immunity, it’s a bad recipe playing out in many states.
Well they are certainly different but don't tell me that New York has herd immunity.

« on: June 21, 2020, 03:52:18 PM »Are you hearing that those hospitalizations are less severe than what we had back in March in NYC?
I don't think NY will explode because a percentage of the population already had it so it will spread slower
I don't know how severe they are I can ask.
But early on I said that, you can't expect treatment to be great when you have an exploding pandemic.
I would imagine that now the numbers are much lower

Backyard BBQ take out comment should get you banned...
That's more apikorshe than anything I've said.. .
You have to have backyard BBQ in house with Mendel.. that's like getting la regence 11 course dinner takeout.
I'm shocked @Dan never did it

I'm confirmed with two internal medicine doctors In Miami specializing in pulmonary care. Both confirmed hospitalizations are up due to coronavirus.
Why does anybody not think that it's not going to explode again in New York?!?

« on: June 18, 2020, 06:02:24 PM »Keep up with the personal attacks. Cool story bro
If you had any credentials you would post them If you don't have any credentials you have no business making comments to the point of
"More accurate comparison would be standing outside when it's nice weather and saying hey its nice weather."
No, the proper way to address this is to say, thank God it's been better, let's keep up the pre cautions so it doesn't get worse again
Perhaps I should celebrate paying off my credit cards, by inviting everyone out to le Marais and paying for it..

Why aren't they flooded like before? First we were all dumb because we didn't close shuls fast enough, now that they are all open and numbers are down.... new twist. And great comparison, your talking about a virus that was spreading like wildfire and nobody knew about it?! More accurate comparison would be standing outside when it's nice weather and saying hey its nice weather.
You have got to be either the biggest troll or one of the more stupid people I've met in my life.
Dan discussed super spreaders before. In all likelihood the numbers just reflect the number of super spreaders or exposure to them.
For example, if super spreader a) wears a mask and sanitizes his hands etc even if no symptoms, in all likelihood none to few get
It.
New York is still getting cases, it's just not crazy, why ? Probably precautions and yes many got.
Will it blow up? I'm sure it can!
You can sprout your crap endlessly. I don't care.

The reason the virus is making less waves now is simply because
#1 hospitals aren't being flooded like before
#2 treatment got significantly better, much lower % are dying bh
There are 2 drugs out there that work. If remisvider lowers patients hospital stays by a few days, that clears up beds and hospital man power
The second drug for more chronic patients is saving lives. Or any immunosuppressants they are using has been saving lives.
However, the idea was being safe, social distancing, masks, wash hands.
You sound like people in the eye of the hurricane, inside the eye it's very calm.

That's why rising numbers matter, it means an active upward trend of spreading.

You missed the fact that rising numbers means it's spreading.. you also conviently ignore that it took a while for NY to blow up earlier.

I got a car 2.5 years ago. My friend did the leasing and it came from the dealership.
My lawyer told me that certain document fees were not properly disclosed and are ilegal (I don't know if the charges usually go or just because that they didn't disclose it properly)
But he could get me back like $500 after his cut.
He says the dealership doesn't care and insurance pays it, I'm worried they'll be pissed and give me a hard time when I return it, I was hoping they'd overlook some minor damages on car when I trade it in for another one at lease end.
Thoughts? Ironically though I want to use this $ to cover some repairs too lol

If chabad considers non cy "trayf" but if the non cy in this case is only butter, you can't argue that's trayf.

Although most of the cy issue evolves around butter. Which is childish and the primary reason I dropped cy (besides being lactose sensitive and avoiding dairy)
Zak had issues getting butter, the wholesale kosher supplier a few times was short on butter shipments etc and Zak didn't get butter which is a primary item in his pastries .
He claimed on Instagram that it's also 2.4 the cost of non cy but that wasn't to my knowledge the reason he switched.
In the early days, before cy butter was available in Miami, the chabad community (in the 70's) used non cy.
I understand the halachik implications.. I'm just saying, to me that's just all b'dieved. It's not like his dairy is all trayf.
Short of his cheese danishes, I'm not sure where he actually uses cheese?
