Lockdowns as they were back in March/Apr in the Tri-State won't happen again.
To be honest, I’m fairly certain you would have said the same about the first lockdown as late as March 15 this year. It’s impossible to know what will be.

He's a corporate lawyer with smicha. He studied philosophy and molecular biology at UC-Berkeley 30 years ago. He has no medical degree or credentials. He has written other pieces with a political or social agenda, such as advocating for gun rights. He markets himself as "E. David Smith - The Litigation King." Looking at who he addressed his letter to, he seems to be trying to get the attention of Rabbonim and askonim who are taken seriously, although he admits he didn't even try reaching out to any of them outside of this letter.

ETA: He also ran for 9th Cong. Distr. of NJ in the past.

With credentials like that he should write a book about leading nj through the pandemic.

Anecdotally, this biggest meshugana I ever met was someone with 3 PhDs and smicha. He used to complain that the planes flying out of JFK were Giuliani sending planes after him.

I didn't read that Matzav article, but just from skimming through it, this makes perfect sense.

I think it’s the Nazi doctors who are chasing this guy from what I read when I skimmed the article.

Sometimes it takes a special soul like this to accomplish great things. He managed to get virtually the whole DDF to agree on something! I've seen many try and fail.

Does Matzav print everything people submit? Shouldn't some editor have done something? Even just make it coherent?

The 2 week quarantine is the law. Whether people don't think it's right, or whether people disobey since there are no consequences doesn't make it right. Baal Simchas shouldn't invite out of towners without it being contingent on quarantining. If rapid testing were a valid exemption to quarantine, it would be. It is not.
Did you know that in the state of Georgia it is illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket on sunday.
And, in Lexington kentucky it is Illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket any time.

I'm not making this up.

They already put this out a couple of weeks ago, when the first cases started to build up.
