The current state of COVID-19 in Israel

[B.D.Da'ehu]

Legally? With no capacity restrictions?

We're officially in a pretty tight lockdown, of course it's illegal.

Hence the Huldai question and the question as to the appropriate Charedi political response.

Practically speaking it doesn't matter so why would they get involved?


Also, it won't help much since it's mostly 60+ who will be vaccinated (with second shot) in the near future. They don't fill up the shuls and yeshivos.

I hear your sensible argument. The question is whether it might still be politically expedient to back Huldai on this one.

Why does there need to be an appropriate Charedi political response when Shuls/Yeshivos/Kollelim/Chadorim are operating regularly?
To anyone who understands Charedi parties will know that they generally don't get involved in political matters when it is of no relevance to the Charedi general public. For example does anyone know what the economic policies of Degel HaTorah are or the foreign policy of Agudas Yisrael?

141k vaccinated yesterday. Some first, some second dose.

Positive percentage up to 9.1%. Not really seeing much of any vaccination effects.

There is no practical lockdown going on, as you can see from the above schools/yeshivos/shuls are all open. Based on what is seen by breakdown of cities, charedi areas are the hardest hit, 1+1=2.

It would potentially be worse R”L without the vaccine...

Just imagine how much worse it would be without the אויבערשטער.

Without the Eibishter there wouldn't be a world......

Unfortunately we don’t have גילוי שם הוי׳, all we have is אלוקי-ם בגמטרי׳ הטבע.

You really think so?

You really think so?

That quote/story about being an atheist when other Jews are suffering, in a sense it might be applicable here too.

[Happyguy]

You really think so?

I hope you are being sarcastic. Everything only exists because HaShem wills it.

סקר סרולוגי ב"שיבא" חושף: 98% מהנבדקים שחוסנו פעמיים - פיתחו נוגדנים לקורונה

Amazing.

Would be great to see a better breakdown/chart by age and interval of days after first/second dose.

And even better, if they actually compare it to antibody results of people that recovered from covid, as well as see what happens with those that recovered and then get a single dose.

I don’t disagree.

How extensive is antibody testing in Israel. My guess is it isn’t. If it was, you can just find all antibody tests for patients who had positive PCR and/or 1/2 vaccine doses and analyze aggregate the data.
