How many people usually die in a single day around the world? Much much more than that.
 Hashem should be protect us and we should do some hishtadlus. At the same time, is it really worth destroying entire economies, shutting down Yeshiva’s and all sense or normal life. What will happen when we are still sitting with all of our kids around and no jobs and Money for anyone. It could come to rioting in the streets c”vs , a run on banks or worse c”vs.   I am of the opinion to open everything up to normal.
I know it’s not popular what I am saying, but we are doing worse to our lives what this illness can ever do
Perhaps it’s doing worse to your & my life than this illness could ever do, but what about the elderly & ill ? Would you change your mind after X amount of deaths or you stick with it no matter what ?

And my question to you is how many deaths from the flu season has to occur to take the same cautionary steps they are taking now.
The answer is at this point it is not a magaifa it is a illness. If it switches c”vs. everything changes.
And btw I agree elderly should stay away from people.

Good morning. In 1917 more people died from slipping in the bathtub than from the Spanish Flu.
It's all a hoax!

Then educate yourself before spewing non-sense.

By the time it switches it will be too late. Definitely by the time even ignorant people admit that it switches.

Why are you still here. So you can start new threads bashing trump. We all know this thing and everything else you do and say is just to go against him. Go hijack some other chat somewhere

It’s been in the world for a while, and I can’t say this enough that even one death is too much hashem yishmor, 7000 deaths however over this much time is not a epidemic or a mageifa

You realize that has doubled over the past week, yes?
Now do the math over the next few weeks, H"Y.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

People die every day from the flu but not because a doctor had to choose who lives and who dies. Some just can't understand how this is not "just the flu".

If a virus doubles every 5 days, how long will it take to spread to the entire world?
How long will it take to spread to half the world?



1. 165 days

2. 160 days

1. Yes it took time to reach here, but now it has.
2. How many deaths does the mishna call a magaifa?
