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.....
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.
I'm confused. I thought RH is just like a regular shabbos in Lakewood. Why the rush for tests?
So you think that this was going around like this the whole time and was never gone?
Because people have a bigger issue with missing Rosh Hashana davening.
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.
Huh? I'm not sure how you understood that from what I wrote.
Missing RH davening is a big time deal for some.
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.
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?
I think you're confusing @yelped and @Yard sale
Hard to claim it’s not an uptick- pretty clear there is, but I think the RH dynamic is playing a role
Maybe. Sorry.
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.
