So you think that the 2 hour wait times for testing yesterday and the simultaneous jump in numbers in Lakewood and monsey has nothing to do with Rosh Hashana? Ok.....

I'm confused. I thought RH is just like a regular shabbos in Lakewood. Why the rush for tests?

You think it has nothing to do with the enormous increase of cases?
Why is everyone acting shocked that it's running through the community again. Many people were quarantined and then SD and it finally caught up with them.

Who's acting shocked? Read this thread from a few weeks back when people were begging for weddings to be smaller and outdoors, begging for others to wear masks, warning that hundreds of people wouldn't be able to go to shul on RH. The shock is in the continued denial and the constant moving of the goalposts.

So you think that this was going around like this the whole time and was never gone?

Because of the people not SD.

Because people have a bigger issue with missing Rosh Hashana davening.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

But why are the women and children getting tested?

More than staying home for 2 weeks? Whoever is testing just to find out if they're negative and not have to stay home for 2 weeks would do it regardless of RH.

Missing RH davening is a big time deal for some. Also yeshivas schools and shuls are being more  serious about symptomatic people attending. Heard from several people who are testing so they can resume attending.

So is this or isn't this an uptick? Is this because there are more cases or because more just because of more people testing?

If it's such a big deal, why was I laughed at 3 weeks ago?

Do you understand that this would mean many hundreds, if not thousand, of people who won't be able to go to shul on Rosh Hashana? Every sick case, plus their families and close contacts, will have to quarantine. On top of that, all of the mid-to-high risk people will have to stay home because there are too many cases in the community for them to go to public places like shuls. So there won't be a repeat of March and there won't be a situation where the whole community has it. How many people need to have their Yomim Noraim ruined? How many people need to miss out on davening with a minyan? How many families need to spend Tishrei isolated or worrying about a hospitalized family member? Is it really too much to ask people to take some precautions for 6 weeks? Wear a mask? Keep the weddings smaller?

Enough is enough.

Hard to claim it’s not an uptick- pretty clear there is, but I think the RH dynamic is playing a role

It is either that the rate is higher now or that it was higher the entire time. More testing didn't create positives from thin air.

It’s all schools opening. Same phenomenon in Israel, Spain, France, Canada, & others

We knew that there were many symptomatic people that were choosing not to test- that was why @Euclid stopped reporting the official OCHD numbers some time ago. The question is if the large jump on official numbers reflects a similar explosion in the number of untested and unreported symptomatic people or if some of those who haven’t been counted until now deciding to test.
