Lakewood covid cases

[S209]

Anecdotally, are there a lot of frum cases in far Rockaway?

YES

[avromie7]

That's the second time that you said that, but did you hear his press conference?

I'm not a fan of DeBlasio in any sense, but he went out of his way to mention neighborhoods and said nothing about them being Jewish.

Here is an excerpt from the press conference where he mentions the neighborhood

I don't know if its because of what happened the last few times when he did single us out, but not  this time.

If he wasn't singling us out, why didn't he include any neighborhoods that aren't predominately jewish?

Flatbush isn't Jewish

Because the data doesn't support the claims that other neighborhoods have spikes.

The cases per 100k doesn't tell you if 7 people tested positive or 70. Neighborhoods aren't all equal sized.

The data does support it. You'd rather bash your fellow jews instead of admitting your beloved nazi is an antisemite.

How can you be so myopic? Immediately before he mentioned those neighborhoods he said:

Now, look, what we've found is the more we focus testing where the need is greatest, the more impact that makes. So, this is the hyperlocal effort that Test and Trace is focused on. It's made all the difference. And one of the areas now that been already involved in the hyperlocal testing effort and the outreach effort is Ozone Park, Queens. There's been free rapid testing available. This is the point of care testing with a fast turnaround testing, quick answers – and that's been available and continues to be available through October 2nd at the Queens Public Library in Ozone Park. And there are medical interpreters onsite – they speak Spanish, Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, and Cantonese. So, really ready to serve the needs of that particular community. So, whenever we see an area we need to focus on, we've seen consistently what happens – a lot more testing, happens a lot more outreach, a lot more communication, and we see good results and we're going to keep doing that. So we're continuing that effort and ozone park Queens.

I reproduced the whole quote above, but you are focused entirely on the words following ozone park.

Why does anyone not think that if The Jewish community gets it really badly they are not spreading it?

They're not the only ones with an outbreak.

And?

[chinagel]

And?

He wanted to know how COVID was affecting my life. I told him I'm not chasiddish. He said he was still interested. I said "sorry, I'm not interested."
I wasn't interested in either being misqouted, taken out of context, or a bunch of gotcha questions. He seemed like a nice guy but that doesn't mean much.

Hey, then can continue quoting Rappaport in every article about Jews.

I am sure that nobody in NYC can figure out that they are all Jewish communities. Only DDF knows that.

They already did, that's why the media keeps referencing orthodox Jews.

implausible deniability.
