So please summarize

Basically 4 questions
-Are millions of lives worth the economic risk? (tough one)
-Why don't we quarantine the elderly so the young people can destroy the entire healthcare system and ensure millions die as soon as possible? (good question)
-Is there a plan? (I think health officials mentioned a plan, maybe it was fattening the herd or something weird.)
-Can someone write an article about corona spend more time writing it than researching it? (Yes)

Accurately predicted the Wuhan final stats in the first week of Februrary. Claims Italy peaked 2 days ago. Will be surprised if 10 people die in Israel. Most of afraid of USA.

These numbers can't be trusted. Based on the number of serious cases I am aware of in my community alone, there's no way these numbers are correct.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Israel had a jump of 90 cases over the past 24 hours. Yes the cases of Severe and Moderate conditions remained the same. Containment is working IMO. People who will be testing positive will be the healthy that are getting tested now at the 24 hour testing locations.

Can someone answer me these basic questions?

1. How is it that China is not having any more new cases? I thought when a lot of people have it then it spreads even more, so if 50k people there had it yesterday why isn't it 100k today?  It does not seem like they enforced stricter social distancing guidelines this past week and that is what stopped it. So what is it?

2. How is it that in Israel there are literally NO known cases in the Chareidi community while here in Brooklyn there are hundreds? (just spoke with someone there)  And no, social distancing in the Chareidi communities there is not at all better there. Its actually worse, while today here in Brooklyn all shulls and Mikvahs are closed in Beth Shemesh, Jerusalem they are all open.

Things do not add up.

Instead of all these data trackers counting cases, why don't they instead track serious hospitalizations only, and track available ICU beds etc. That's the real information that counts.
Let's there be a million positive cases of healthy people at home, what difference does that make to anyone?

I could be wrong but I think I heard they are trying to stop the spread.

My info is accurate as of an hour ago.  I spoke to someone very active in beth shemesh. Main mikvahs are all open and there were still 2 weddings last night where hundreds of people were cramped together.

Until a few days ago, the Brookllyn Chareidi community had only a few cases.  But then a walkin clinic started offering tests.  And now there's 100 new cases!  Out of 1000 tested.
IDK, but is 10% affected but not sick enough for a hospital that bad?

I don't think you understand how this works. Please do some research on Google because I'm too tired to explain this.
