The governors won't stand up against this for long.

LOL. Cuomo has a 80 something percent approval rate mostly based on him going against Trump.

Location: Monsey

Friday night: suprisingly, the olam was behaving. Tables were set up in such a way that there was around 8 feet between people front to back, and, so long as people only sat at either end of the table, just around 6 feet side by side. Sure, some people were a bit closer to others, but overall it was pretty successful and it felt lovely to be back at shul.

Shabbos morning: came to shul early to stake out the spot that worked so great for me yesterday, only to find the shul pretty packed with most people sitting wherever they wanted. Walked right out and davened at home.

Shabbos afternoon: again, came a few minutes early only to find that they moved up the regular davening time and I missed it by an hour. The others who came at this time went all wise-men-of-Chelm and decided to go daven in someone's house instead of staying in the large shul. I davened at home once more.

At all times, I was the absolutely only person wearing a mask. Had me doubt if I'm the crazy one.

Time to look for a new shul? Sounds pretty fishy.

I do think the total 3-week shutdown in Lakewood greatly reduced the threat, so I wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes out of this.

Your doubt is definitely misplaced.

They didn’t go to Forest Park, and it’s a good(?) thing they didn’t.

Nor the surrounding shuls either. There are thousands of men and kids in the area. If they tried doing minyanim ten at a time they would still be holding by shachris....

Many Rabbanim who were too relaxed in the beginning are taking the reopening more seriously.

I don't know but I've heard prominent Baal tzedaka in Miami Beach passed away Friday from covid19 he was 65.
I heard something like he was on a vent for 5 weeks I dunno.

Just because you don't see these things doesn't mean that it doesn't exist

I heard they came there because someone called them (if someone calls they will come)
I suspect the article on lakewood scoop is fake news posted by someone with an agenda

Or they could have davened outdoors like I did, or in the many tent and house minyanim

You can add Lakewood to the list. The shul I went to for shachris was packed to the brim, not one mask and a nice kiddush to boot!
