“They test positive but they are not critical,” the nurse said in a separate interview last month. “We send them home with instructions to take ibuprofen, rest, and quarantine for 14 days.”

I was just informed that someone brought it back from Florida and infected him

I just heard first hand of someone who flew in from Florida, attended a packed Lakewood wedding last week, and tested positive a day later..  brains, people, BRAINS!

You are so full of sh!t, you make a politician look honest. Banning travel and closing borders isn't complicated. In fact, it was done to varying degrees with little complication. Many things could have actually been done. And can you stop with the stupid bricks to the head lawlessness BS? That happened almost 3 months in and was possibly exacerbated by pent up energy from having nothing to do for months. In fact, enforcing a ban on international flights probably would have allowed more of the economy to stay open, and possibly would have taken a lot of the steam out of the protesters before they even got started.

Right right, is there a ban on international travel now?? All trump was able to do is ban people who were in Europe/Asia for last 14 days. If your European and go to israel for 2 weeks you can fly right in here. Please get your facts straight before you spew stupidity on topics you have no clue about!.

@Lurker Internet lesson of the day: if someone consistently misspells "you're", 9 times out of 10 they're a troll.

You're usually right, but on this particular forum, there are many nice people with interesting and productive things to say who just aren't great with spelling or grammar.

To your point, yes, he is a troll. It has been pointed out to me that for every person who posts on these threads, there are many, many multiples of people who are just reading and gathering information. Under normal circumstances, trolls can be ignored. But when they post fake facts that encourage dangerous behavior, they should be called out and shut down by everyone.

Too often we roll our eyes and ignore people spewing garbage, dismissing them as conspiracy theorist and fringe elements, assuming everyone else will ignore them like we do. I think we can learn from the prevalence of the anti-vaxxer factions in our communities about how dangerous that attitude is.

You know there's a difference between things that are actually being done and things that are able to be done, right? For example, you are able to post factual information here, but actually you just like to post fake news.

Couldn't agree more.

I've seen multiple articles to this effect over the past few days - isn't this regarding the strain that has been spreading in the US since February/March?

Their parents must have taken them to the protests.

Teachers went to the protests. These things don't happen in the frum communities. Our teachers don't go to protests, only to Florida.

Interesting bedmate there, doc.

(Same comment applies to the Lakewood Scoop, who in recent times has become a mouthpiece for antivaxxers. Which come to think of it probably warrants its own thread.)
