COVID-19 Discussion Board / Re: COVID-19 Reinfection

Are you serious?! Why is this not being publicized?

I have no interest in this discussion and won't post more unless it's straight information. However what I will say is that there are a very many cases of false positives as well as situations where iiuc people are still testing positive well after it's gone for a variety of reasons. there are recommendations to irigate your nose before getting retested and it supposedly helps a little.
That being said I can try to get exact information in these cases and present the facts when they were tested , where they were tested. what type of tests etc. Supposedly these three cases were positive around pesach and are positive again now.

I just heard of someone in Lakewood who had antibodies and now tested positive. I haven’t confirmed it.

Im aware personally of 3 confirmed reinfections in Lakewood, all mild.

All my workmates who got it now were in bed with chills. So I'm not sure why you think it's different.

Of the The 20 or so people that I know (first and second hand) who have it, only a few of them were laid up. As well as many conversations I overheard at urgent cares and over Rosh Hashanah at this minyan. I was hearing a tremendous amount of stories of people that got tested Just "because" and were surprised that they had it .
Regardless my main point was the trouble breathing, which I haven't heard at all

Which people graciously offered their bathrooms to a bunch of sick people?

Read above, but someone offered their basement which was not being used. And I'm sure they're going to clean and disinfect it very well

Basically the same as round 1.

I'm not hearing much of people having a hard time breathing which I'd guess was the number one reason for all the hatzalah calls. And 1st time around I was hearing tons of people laid up in bed, chills, nausea etc

A COVID+ minyan is a good idea only if it’s a backyard minyan and not outside any shuls. I guanrantee any shul that does this will have positive people entering to use the bathroom or sink “just for a minute!” I’m sure there will also be socializing with other shul members and an attraction for children wandering outside.

Arlington Shul sent out a follow up:

At the corona minyan, positive corona in the tent, those exposed outside. Don’t enter shul at all. For bathroom, use Toporovitch basement 530 Arlington (across Arlington).

This Minyan worked out very well over RH it's continuing tomorrow I'm not sure after that..

I don't think any urgent cares have rapids lately. May be worth looking for nearby towns that may have. Either way that will be quicker than with all the long lines locally

Friendly claims no one has within 75 miles.

In Brooklyn many places have.

Why does a graphic designer need 1T? Curious

I have no idea, it's not for myself. I'm thinking maybe to do some video editing...

It's a business class laptop almost every major corporation distributes them to employees but consumer stores /websites seldom stock them.

Direct from lenovo it's around 2k but it's probably the only windows laptop where the design rivals Macbooks where there is actual thought put in by the designers to make a nice laptop.

Thanks, looking around I'm only seeing them at 512 ssd not the 1T I'm looking for

Come to think of it, the Jews forgot to destroy the country after the Pittsburgh massacre, and many other times...

Was it an official government agent in uniform who committed the murder back then? Not quite a comparison.

There are plenty of stories .. which I'll suppose that you'll pull out the two times that the precinct in Boro Park was ran over by chasidim
