Rabbi Efram Goldberg telling people to report those who violate rules and go to Florida.

R Zev Cohen from Adas Yehshurun gave a fantastic halacha l'maaseh shiur on Covid-19 shealos last night. After discussing the various aspects of Ona'ah and Lo Salin Peulas Sachir, his bottom line was Dinah D'Malchusa Dinah.

I know plenty that are still going and willing to quarantine for the 14 days so some of this is hyperbole.

Quarantine so that means a 14 day vacation leaving their rental never? What if it's Erev Chag and they are missing an urgent item and can't get it delivered? Will they all really stay put?

I don't get the widely ranging percentages on serious/death rates. Like how does Germany have so few serious cases? Why does Italy have so many deaths? Is it just a difference in testing/reporting? Or are there different strains?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

My guess is between now and pesach, more FL counties will ban short term rentals. So quarantine would only be for residents and property owners.

Good. It’s the right thing to do. People have no business doing this.

One thing I am seeing (anecdotally) is that a serious issue here is the localized aspect of this. The hospitals getting overloaded seem to be mostly smaller local hospitals due to there being a local outbreak right in the area serviced by the community hospital. Is there a better way to spread this out? Will building more hospitals and converting warehouses or the Javitz Center even help for this?

I think they are working on transferring patients to hospitals in other areas. Upstate NY etc

This will be key. If they can't transfer from the community hospital where the patients foirst show up then they can add a million ICU beds and it won't help anything.

I saw somewhere that the hospital ship is not intended for coronavirus patients, it's for other patients to free up capacity in other hospitals.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I think all Hatzlahs should get a few dogs to roam the area and keep all children indoors. It will stop all outdoor minyanim as well.

Rumor had it that Russia released lions in the streets. Fake News but would work. Why keep children inside though? Keep the elderly locked in. I just spoke with a 90+ year old who is holed up in his apartment in Manhattan for 10 days now and has the nicest neighbors who bring him and his wife food and all necessary items. He cant stand it but knows it will save his life. At least he has a terrace to get some fresh air.

Are you not aware that many younger people are getting it and are in the ICU/have died?

Children? They are not getting sick from children being on the street.

Are the children’s parents getting sick from the children in the street? Absolutely.
What about the nurses and doctors and aides, do they have kids? Sure do. What happens when they get sick and pass it on to the old people they take care of? What happens when they get sick and can’t care for all the sick people? What happens when they die?
