How does .1% mean zero? Mathematically it is one out of a thousand?
Because that small percent doesn't mean they will day. Even those will only get sick. Most who get sick don't even feel any worse than a flue. In addition, most minyanim dont have a thousand people davening there.

They were talking to us and it was at the peak.

Who is us? When was the peak?

From the way you write, it seems that you don't really care anyways. Your comments are nasty, attacking, and lack any substance. Either you don't bother reading the substance people write, or you simply don't understand.

This thread has a lot of substance on both sides. Then there are the few oisvurfs who have nothing smart to say. They are the baalei gaava who feel those who disagree with them are rightist Lakewooders who belong in caves, not in the Five Towns.

I feel bad for those few. There lives seem pretty miserable.
As I already mentioned, you are clearly a very special person and a true mensch. What your posts lacked in vitriol were more than made up for in logic, keen insight, coherence, and true understanding of epidemiology, human nature, and the nuances of inter-community dynamics.

Thank you for sharing your brilliance with the masses.

I give you credit for at least understanding yourself. Many do not.

Please keep in.mind, you were the first and only one to mention cholent. Nobody else was thinking about it. But when you can't argue substance, you start doing wombat you are doing.

I guess you are not happy to hear minyanim might open and you're actually going to have to get out of bed and get dressed and go to shul. You'll have to spend more than 5 minutes davening and might even have to listen to hisorirus from a Rov...
a week ago the minyan goers were called rotzchim,
Now the anti minyan movement are cholent fressers,
I mean c’mon.

There you go again, avoiding to debate the substance of the argument.

Its o.k.. I always knew people like you exist. I feel bad because we can be a much better Nation if people like you would work on themselves.

By comparing the two you are setting up a straw man argument that they are one and the same.

Previously, it was valid to call many people attending minyan rodfim (not my words, words of R’ Chaim etc.). Now, it’s certainly wrong to call anyone a cholent fresser for any reason. For what constructive purpose would you belittle someone by name calling?

Ahh so by harmed you mean to catch it? If so then whomever you are referring to is misinformed. Such numbers are simply contrary to the facts.

For the record, many who are davening at home are doing so at vasikin per the guidance of many rabbonim.

I know, and I’m glad I have you to call me out. I am Mekabel the special mussar I am receiving from your holy mouth. You have nothing to work on, BH! It’s people like you that keep us going at these special times.

Side note: You’ve yet to directly address my questioning your comparison of this to the flu, which was literally the only reason I ever piped up in the first place. I couldn’t care less which psak you follow, I was addressing a false and dangerous assertion you made which you still haven’t made as much as an attempt to answer.

Again, I apologize for my extreme lack of substance. The substantial substance of your sustained subsistent substance has subdued me into subversion.

just for the record, R Chiem was referring to someone who knows (or suspects) that he is infected.

Shall we send that message to R’ Chaim by phone, or through his gabboim? I want to make sure he gets the message clearly, not garbled through his circles.

just for the record, R Chiem was referring to someone who knows (or suspects) that he is infected.
So let’s follow this progression.

@sammyp claims 85% of NY has been infected, or at least exposed.
R’ Chaim was only referring to someone who suspects he is infected by calling them a rodef.
Therefore.. he was referring to everyone in NY.

But only cholent fressers call people a rodef.

Ah, I see where I was wrong.

What do you think would take a guy like him to take this seriously and not decide that the whole thing is a hack job set up the “liberals” and no worse than the flu? I’m just curious - if anything would happen to convince someone like that of the danger. I mean if the amount of people in the frum community that died wasn’t enough (don’t think he would care about any other deaths). Is there a number of people that have to die from this first or will it never happen no matter what? Will it always be something made up by liberals and CNN?

I should have stopped this long ago but I rarely have the opportunity to talk to someone who is so convinced of all this narishkiet. Eye-opening.
