Is Covid Spiking in Boro Park?

If Daas Torah is that covid is over (even if Hatzalah disagrees), can it at least be cognizant of the giant Chillul Hash this is making?

Also, if the city can only fine $2,000 for non compliance, the halls will just factor that as a cost of doing business.

I saw this story and thought it was analogous to the Covid situation.

People didn't evacuate because: It's never as bad as they forecast, because its a political ploy, because it infringes on their first amendment right, because, because, because. But now they wan't others to risk their lives to save them because they refused to heed the warnings.

People don't want to social distance or wear masks: because, because, because. But if C"V this small uptick gets out of control they will be the first to look for others to bail them out.

A hurricane coming tomorrow doesn't begin to compare to a virus that's already been around for 6 months and probably will continue to be around for the foreseeable future.

How about their perhaps is plenty daas Torah (I think this is evident by now, seeing how many Rabbanim run their shuls in Israel) to continue life as normal. Not that covid is over, but that life continuing on takes priority.

This is an article that provides lots of arguments against those that believe Yiddishkeit supports following the directive of doctors (and hatzalah) in response to the perceived threats of COVID as justified.

He's a lawyer; not a practicing rabbi.

Maybe the rest are mustering the courage to also write incoherent insanely long articles.

CMIIW, but it seems like you're waiting for Daas Torah to catch up and justify your currently held position.

If there were 16 cases from one wedding then how far off can that be? There are already numerous wedding that have been behind the vast majority of new cases. In the end these weddings will be what causes another lockdown.

Lockdowns as they were back in March/Apr in the Tri-State won't happen again.

To the extreme where people are advised to stay home, you're probably right. In the ways that matter most to us, with regards to keeping our schools and shuls open... I wouldn't put money on that.
