So the minyan ban seems to be based on a strict interpretation of the law, not medical advice anymore. Maybe lawyers sold be consulted instead of just doctors.

Further, individuals should not gather in houses of worship, homes,

Lawyers are heavily involved statewide. This is not a local issue.

According to the Governor's office, there is nothing illegal with an outdoor minyan in front of house, even using sidewalks or streets. As I said, backyards are more complicated. The Governor left it up to local officials to interpret these laws (about backyards) and what they feel they should or should not enforce.

This is all being worked on. It would have been fixed already if one local Rabbi would not have intervened and counteracted all of the work. But it should be taken care of soon.

Thanks for the updates. Is your info reliable? What else do you know?

Any NYS info would be helpful, not just 5T.

I would advise you to do some research. Mnay doctors and health experts have a very different outlook.

We BH have people on Albany including some highly qualified and well connected representatives from the Aguda who are working very hard on this.

There should be new developments soon. Like Batei Medrash should be able to open any day now. The law right now only prohibits prayer gathering in synagogues. There seems to be no law or objection to learning there without any classes or prayers.

They are working very hard. We are hoping and praying nobody intervenes, especially anybody bearing the title "Rabbi" who presents to these government officials a very different picture than it really is.

To be honest, I stopped reading after the first 3 paragraphs. They turned me off from continuing

You should read the rest. It helps put the first three paragraphs into context.

The agenda is clear from the first part. Once there is an agenda, everything else is irrelevant.

Look at this, especially paragraph 10 https://5townscentral.com/2020/05/14/covid-19-village-of-lawrence-safety-report/

And this https://matzav.com/op-ed-best-approach-to-the-coronavirus-crisis-hint-weve-thus-far-gotten-it-wrong/

There's a lot more out there too....

The rest is positive news, not negative. Did you read it?

You’re probably right. I thought this was a very well written and positive article from someone that I have criticized many times here.

The opinion piece on Matzav was pure, unadulterated junk. Total hogwash, riddled with falsehoods, plenty of political nonsense, and wholly illogical.

The piece on 5 towns central was an opinion piece as well, but it was thought provoking and well written, by someone who seemed to be well versed in medicine without a clear aim (though he obviously espouses returning to normal sooner rather than later). I do find it interesting that he repeats a few times that there is NO certainty of immunity or it’s parameters, despite you having posted quite a few times that there is no argument among doctors and immunity is a certainty.. still, thank you, it was interesting to read.

Rest was pretty good
But there is a strong disconnect between first section and the medical part
