I saw reports that this was COVID-19 related. Son-in-law says it was not. https://twitter.com/ShragaTeichman/status/1242482096863621121

BTW the R' Don Segal line is a mistake, and Donn later corrected it.

Unless someone with corona dies from something like a car accident, I think it should be counted as a corona death. That’s the way it works. Many people with a pre-existing or underlying illness die after they get corona virus, when they would have lived longer without it. That’s the way we've been counting flu deaths. 1/1000 is basically the 90 year old man with cancer that died when they got the flu. If it puts them over the top, it counts.

BDE. Such terrible news. He was perfectly healthy, I would shmooze with him all the time. Special person.

His son is the Rebbe in Eretz Yisroel who has bachurim over each week.

BD”E. Remember everybody crowding around him by slichos right after 9/11.

I am very concerned that we will be hearing of many rabbonim and the like being infected since they are often in contact with many random people. Considering that many of them are older this is a serious issue.

I know for a fact of over a dozen Rabbonim/Rebbeim who are seriously ill with corona. Some public info, some not. Some family members.

Remember that it took a long time for major shuls and yeshivos throughout brooklyn, Monsey and Lakewood to close? Public schools were closed the week of the 15th; many yeshivos had already started shutting down after New Rochelle. Unfortunately, the community didn't take it seriously in time and put elderly rabbanim at risk.

(Although I don't know how many of the people on your list were part of those communities, it's still part of the problem)
