Corona virus and your shul

[neveryou]

and the response for this is yea but percentage wise
all it matters if you appreciate life or statistics

Shutting everything down and deciding who can work and who can't work i.e. who can afford food and shelter doesn't show that you appreciate life either

Not everybody is financially fine and can weather this storm for a few months

After things will open up, sone businesses won't be doing the same revenue they were doing before right away

[CountValentine]

Man, we were doing so well!!

[CountValentine]

To be honest we don't really know the true death rate with this virus bc many more people have had the virus that didn't get tested

After they adjust for that it will come out to about the same as the flu

Why with more people being tested the death rate keeps going up?

If less people are getting sick, but people who got sick a month ago are still dying

[yelped]

One thing this virus has showed us that we have serious issues with the fundamentals of education....I guess the Lubavitcher Rebbe was right with the National Education Day.

Ok but we are testing more than ever. So we should see it go down drastically shortly?

They are testing more, but the spread is growing at protests, and the death rate is going up because the longer people are on vents the higher the mortality rate, but it should go down temporarily cuz of the short minyan ban and by this time in 2 days you'll have about as much good data as you have now, but with a much muddier understanding of what it all means.

It goes down because the virus needs to jump or it dies.

If 25,000 have it and 23,000 stay home. It spreads much less.. then those who get it if on average most of them stay home it will spread much less.

Please post your full name so you can accept responsibility when everyone dies .

It's only because of extreme measures that the numbers are what they are.

Stuff like hospital capacity obviously goes way over your head.

NYC is much better off than it could be because other areas had extreme measures, thus they were able to send doctors and supplies.

[chevron]

Even as per Dr Rosen in ch. Half of the elderly have not gotten it bh.

Now you look at the numbers you're seeing of lo aleinu those that died. Everyone haven't gotten it at once would not double the death's God forbid, because of the hospital overload, maybe unfortunately triple.

The blame lies partially with the supermarkets. Supermarkets in most places have no limit on how many people can go in at a time, and people stand crammed together at checkout. That led people to rationalize why do minyanim have to be different.  The thruth is that the supermarkets that were open with no restrictions, the restaurants that had everyone cramming together at the checkout line,  are just as much to blame.

Here in Lakewood, all the supermarkets I visited had tough enforcement on the guidelines.

Agreed, the supermarkets’ lack of adequate enforcement led many down a slippery slope

Can we stop blaming others? A supermarket or restaurant has no social responsibility. They are businesses. Their owners and managers daven in the same illegal minyanim as their customers. If you're taking your cues from a supermarket instead of doctors, rabbonim, or your own basic research, the resulting cause of death should be stupidity.
