Yes! Girls should stop studying, children should leave school, kids should tend the cows and chickens... when we're faced with a calamity that warrants those changes. That's exactly what happened during WWII, when high school boys and girls left the city to tend the farms, feed the chickens, pick the apples.
The medical crisis is all but over! Are we still having 700+ people dying daily?? We're a far cry from where we were at the peak of this crisis. Why do we need to be stuck with severe restrictions like we had at that time?
Even if people want to point to rising numbers elsewhere such as Florida, their daily new cases are still not close to what we had and their deaths are a very far cry.
It's time to move on.
No one is suggesting that camps be disbanded. Just not used for overnight camps this year, because the medical situation warrants it.What is this sense of entitlement based on? Who gets to do whatever they choose to?
Are we living in communism?
Do you get to choose if you want to eat at a restaurant or not? Shop at a liquor store? Attend a sporting event? Go to a horse race? Swim at the beach? Yes, because they're all open! You can choose not to do any of the above but you have the option. Parents should get to choose if they want to send their child to camp or not, mental or emotional crisis not withstanding. Some of us just want to give our kids a wholesome summer away from the crowded city and apartments they live in all year - let them enjoy 2 months of fresh air, green grass, sports, swimming, etc.
Saying there is no medical reason doesn't make it so. Can you refute the specific medical reasons that were given by Zucker?
Camps provided him with all that and more. He was completely disinterested and totally disregarded it. It was written up in the Hamodia - they interviewed people who were directly part of the conference calls with him.
