BORO PARK CORONA UPDATES

[TimT]

Just curious, are people in Queens, Bronx, Manhattan lining up to test ?

[yossig]

I find this very hard to believe. It’s on every hotline they listen to all day. Signs plastered, loudspeakers, word of mouth. It’s all everybody’s talking about all day everywhere.

there is a lot of talking about the virus but not on the severity of the impact on human life.

personally I don't think it will help, the groceries are being emptied of food like it's a zombie apocalypse but people are still coughing on each other.

As of now, only if your doctor believes that you have severe symptoms you will be given a test.

You can't just ask for a test and get it.

for now it looks like ppl are more scared of having to drink tap water then anything else.

So the screaming headlines about “100 POSITIVES IN BORO PARK” might have a little to do with this. Just a little bit.

Just wait till everyone gets tested.

You will see an all-of-the-sudden big jump in the number of people who have it.

Wouldnt there be high numbers everywhere were everyone being tested ?

yes, and personally with the way this is going getting tested when you don't have symptoms is pointless, since if you are negative by the time the results are in you can technically be positive.

Can someone explain to me why the shoe stores in Boro Park are completely packed?? I don't get this. Are people WAITING for tragedy?

The streets are pretty empty and many stores are closed

and all shuls and mikvous are closed no minyanim

You wish. Most small shuls and mikvas are open and people that don't understand the reason why are coming to the small ones to daven and mikva

Pre lockdown mode.

Can you explain to me where anybody needs shoes if they're staying home?

They are in denial or it still didn't register. They have on their list to get shoes and they haven't realized that there's no point.

I'd be pretty surprised if we weren't. Wait for it to become more restrictive.
