Deaths today - 1

Is that a -1? A return from the dead?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

@CountValentine's LOR is a maikel, he holds by recorded music during the 9 days.

You didn't PM the response. You posted it publicly on a Jewish Forum where everything is a Halachic discussion. @YitzyS I think this deserves some serious press coverage.

Does he ask an LOR? I thought he follows an LCR! After all location is Poland, not Russia or Ukraine.

You can lock down from today until tomorrow but you can't fully control it, you just need to let it run its course. Even though this happened in the entire world nobody seems to see it yet, sad.

Conveniently ignoring that even if the death rate of a comparable country, like Norway, does catch up to Sweden's, there was no economic benefit:

I have never seen such a high proportion of companies coming in with better profits than expected. It’s almost every company,” said Esbjorn Lundevall, chief equity strategist at lender SEB
They seem to think there was an economic benefit.

There are many metrics. Mental health is a potentially big difference. Are there any studies about that? Also, the big question is if the measures taken created a benefit not if their was a benefit from not taking them. If the measure do not provide benefit (I personally do not think that to be the case) then why implement them at great personal inconvenience to everyone?

There are many US companies that can be said about too.
