Is Covid Spiking in Boro Park?

[NTorch]

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

I only saw this for the first time today. When did they put this out? The legend of L'Maan Ya'arichu Yamecha could apply to a few Parshios.

At the minimum you can put a time stamp.
This is not the riddles thread.

Bobov - asking people to social distance and wear masks if they don't have antibodies

When they right in English you know that they mean it

Perhaps you should follow their example.

Ah yes, still working under the antibodies theory.

[grodnoking]

Ah yes, still working under the antibodies theory.

What theory? The one where there are maybe 8 recorded cases of reinfection out of 25,000,000+ ?

[yaakov35]

Ah yes, still working under the antibodies theory.

And an attitude like that is why people will just ignore these things. Ignore basic science to further an agenda of quarentine and masks.

Yep, and the "covid survivor " even tho that's like 23 million. Or more.

The science on antibodies is undetermined. Telling people they don't need to be concerned because we think antibodies will protect for an unknown amount of time is bad policy. Also, laughing at the mask "agenda".

Yes, but telling *at least* people without antibodies to be careful is better policy than they had previously

the science is most definitely determined, if you have antibodies it is not the same as someone who never had it. If you don't differentiate between people who had it and people who didn't then you lose everyone.

I don't understand why there's one set of guidelines for all of nyc, and a special version for frum people in Brooklyn.

Most people in nyc do not follow the guidelines to the tee. The city knows about it and chooses to leave it.

Honestly I'm just curious, is the quality of life better when your worried about what every other community does? Or when you wear a mask to shul? Get upset when other people don't? Maybe there's something I'm missing as to why people are so adamant about other communities. Just hope everyone stays healthy and lives happily ever after? Or that's asking for too much?.....

Communities don't operate in a vacuum. A spike in Boro Park will ripple to lakewood and to Bergen county.

Also, many people are about the heath of all of klal Yisrael.

The mind blowing part (and the part that reveals your gaping ignorance) is your and others’ befuddlement at people being upset that others aren’t wearing a mask.

When you don’t wear a mask, *they* feel they can’t come to shul. How is that hard to understand? Them wearing a mask won’t protect them as much as you wearing a mask will protect them. So when you don’t wear a mask, they can’t come to Shul.

That’s not called live and let live, it’s called I want to live the way I want and screw you. Even true libertarians don’t believe that.

Also, my non Jewish coworkers who live in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan report near universal mask wearing in stores.

For example for me personally, I would love to go to Bingo in Monsey to buy cheaper meat for Yom Tov, but I literally do not feel safe doing so.

No its called you living in a vacuum and assuming everyone else has corona and is spreading it and therefore they are an issue. That is sick and demented, and that's exactly what the world is turning on itself. Your safety doesn't depend on other people. It depends on  doing what God wants from us, and not doing what he doesn't. Like not being nasty to other people etc. Of course everyone needs to take basic precautions, but to go on and ramble about putting people at risk etc, is just really sad.
