No. Just different understandings of what integrity is.
You're digging a pretty deep hole down there....

Not true. Then it was dangerous. Now they are all saying Lo Plug. Even when done safely they are worried people might not follow rules. That what they are all writing at least.
According to you, don't believe everything you see in writing. Maybe it was written by someone else with a gun to their head  ::)

Same reason he said don’t do it the past 2 months i.e. it can lead to the spread of the virus.


He didn't explain further? How[size=78%] does it lead to the spread of the virus specifically?[/size]

Try calling the Novominsker he might have some information which would convince you.
Was it ever actually confirmed that he had it? I don't believe so but I may be wrong

he claims it’s contagious (idk sounds like he’s just trying to scare everyone because he hates minyan so much it’s probably not a big deal)

The virus is less dangerous now? It mutated?

Did you read the post by the other doctor on Friday?

Now many people are immune. There is heard immunity developing. There are barely any new cases in our community at all. I think 3 minor cases last week. Cuomo said 88% of new cases in State are from those who were 100% quaranteed with no contact.

So if all rules are kept, your chances go up 0%.

So what's the end game? The virus is never going away. No minyan until a vaccine is readily available?

Ah so what we are doing is working so now let’s not do it anymore. I’m convinced.

This is the most accurate thing you've ever posted on this topic.

What we did until now worked and now we can move on.

The OU/RCA and YIW all said there is no real danger with these minyanim and they are instituting lo plug. They can do that in their kehilos if they want to.

I have the same question about the economy. Lockdown can't last forever

Only rabbonim that sign the letter and stick behind them. The ones that flake but don’t tell anybody are the real heros here.
