Now you know why schools in Lakewood are not testing. That are not interested in having the government 3 ring circus make their decisions for them.
And it sound like NYC is going to keep them closed for a long time. When you factor in Sukkos, pretty much no school for these kids for a month straight. Lakewood schools are looking really smart for the way they are handling this.

Any logical person realizes it's impossible for us to get to what happened in March/April for many reasons including at risk people taking precautions and the fact that there is some level of immunity.
Impossible he says
If you don't care why would you comment?

You know what would've been even smarter? Pushing for restrictions at weddings.

Do you really think that nobody is going to figure it out? What happens when they do?

There are two benefits to going under the radar. If there is limited Covid activity the school can continue uninterrupted. Even in the event the kids end up testing and come back with positive results, a Lakewood school with the covid numbers that YDT had would likely send those specific classes home for a week or so, and allow the hundreds (or thousands) of other students to continue to learn uninterrupted.

If someone “figures it out” they are no worse off than YDT.

When, not if, someone figures it out, the chillul Hashem will be massive. All the conspiracies about hospitals killing people will become a very real concern. The local anti-Semites will multiply their numbers, putting Jewish lives at risk and Jewish agendas nearly impossible to achieve. Don't kid yourself: there will be a very real price to pay. Nothing in life is free.

This is nothing but delusional. When they figure it out you can expect to be seeing a large state police presence in Lakewood daily. How do you think they will take to BMG?

They are actually currently quite aware of the situation unfortunately.

Aware of an uptick or aware of the full scale?

+100
And the flip side as well that a second wave is inevitable....

Huh? If anything, saying WE can stop the pandemic is the height of hubris and lack of emunah in koach haboreh.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Wow. So do you not wash your hands or wear a seatbelt?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Mitigate risk and stop are not the same thing. But then again low risk and impossible are also not the same thing.

That's not what I said and it's not what I intended to say. If you followed the conversation maybe you would understand. My original response was to someone who was worried that we'd end where we were in March/April. I responded that it's impossible for us to get to where we were in March/April, not because I believe G-D can't do it, but because based on the situation al pi derech hateva we won't end up there. For some reason @Ergel considered that to be "height of hubris and lack of emunah in koach haboreh" which led to my last post.

Ok, maybe I should've said nearly impossible. The problem is I would have others here pouncing that any chance is too much.
