Lakewood covid cases

[devorahS]

Are there people in Lakewood with new cases of the virus? 
Seems like everyone wants to keep to the narrative that it's over and covers up the true statistics.

There have been about 20 new cases over the past 2-3 weeks in our community according to CHEMED (they're tracking all cases in our community).

There is a nasty cold going around, I had it and tested negative for Covid.

It also seems that CHEMED is doing rigorous contact tracing, which is fantastic.

Additionally "Most, but not all, have been connected to infected individuals coming to Lakewood from Florida."

The last think someone would think of CHEMED is that they can do contact tracing, they are disastrous at whatever they do.

Happy a few ppl think otherwise but compared to other similar institutions, they deserve a negative rating.

They are disastrous!

pretty much any male will have contact with close to 100 people minimum between minyanim etc.
also chemed is taking so long for the corona tests to come back that contact tracing is worthless

I find it a pretty funny that one guy thinks Chemed is doing fantastic and the next guy thinks they’re disastrous, and they’re both so confident about it. That basically sums up Corona In 1 sentence.’

Lol.

Its actually 2>1 at this point.

In summary, CHEMED as a whole is a disaster. From people that I did hear say positive stuff, the positivity was related to DR. Hirsch Zatzal.
I dont say it lightly, but the org. itself is disastrous, sadly.

Its really a shame as they can do so much more and not do some parts and they can be great.

It's all about the money.

Refuah and others  might be about the money but it's also about the patient.

Not sure how it would be possible for them to do contact tracing. A family member of mine tested there on Thursday a week and a half ago & got a call this Sunday morning with the results & they don’t have the rapid tests…

I haven't heard anything about CHEMED doing contact tracing. What I do know that they are doing is they created a central database for all the medical practices in Lakewood to collect and collate any new cases.
This doesn't take any special medical knowledge or expertise, and whatever experience anyone has had with CHEMED shouldn't color their opinion of this good work.

I wonder what they considered Lakewood cases cuz I know some people came in from deal to get tested by friendlys cuz they knew they had rapids.

My daughter experienced it. I was surprised as well.

As of last Friday morning there were 17 new cases that CHEMED was tracking since beginning of July.

I've heard that there were 8 new cases this week, but i haven't confirmed that with CHEMED info yet.

1-2 frum cases a day would seem consistent with the picture we’ve been seeing.

Yup, been hearing an average of "4-5/week".

I'm surprised there is not many more. Thousands of people have gotten the virus and people who are better can still test positive for months (my case was 3.5 months later!!!).

CHEMED is only tracking legit *new* cases. Not people who test positive.
