Lakewood covid cases

[yzj]

Definitely a backlog here. Only 22 yesterday

I hear. Still a significant short term deviation, particularly OC with close to a thousand new cases between yesterday’s number and today’s.

BDE, tragic

This?

Yes. Not that it matters but I would guess pregnant. There are more than 10 young pregnant women in very serious condition in Israel now.

Anecdotally, my sister and some of her kids, sister in law and some of her kids and my daughter all positive in the past few days. No contact with each other.

Any common contacts between the three of them?

Could also be 1 store or shul, but with 50+ daily cases the odds of them all being from the same source are low

The family ties increase the possibility thereof, but I agree, it could be unrelated.

Considering the Rt, the average infected person infects only 1-2 people. Considering that sometimes someone infects 5 or more people, many of those people don’t infect anyone.

Nope. Live in different parts of town. Have not interacted in awhile (we are one of those strange families who are still trying to be careful). Different shuls, different schools. Etc. Point is, there seems to be a lot going around.

In the last week I’ve had a sister in law, brother in law, mother in law, mechutan, and neighbor with COVID. I think it’s insane that there is no communal action being taken.

Sounds like we're at the point in the cycle where it's too late to do anything again. Somebody should push Murphy for vaccines at least

Underlying asthma

Ah, OK. Nevertheless there is רגלים לדבר from Israel that the UK mutation is significantly more dangerous for young pregnant women the the previous waves.

Maybe he meant politically 😉.

That's an even less popular opinion around here (considering he isn't referring only the last 5 days)

Even if I'm pro-Trump (actually more pro-Republican than specifically him, I would very much have preferred another Republican as president than him) I have no issue saying we've been leaderless then, and it continues to be the case even more now and for at least the next almost 4 years.

But I won't be able to duck fast enough if there's an even bigger mob lynch than what you had in mind coming for saying that, so make believe you didn't hear me.

Here we go bringing in politics yet again. I know. My fault this time.

But are any of them serious cases?
I'm not "in the know", but what I do know is that in a town of tens of thousands there are so few serious cases...
