The whole AK47 argument lacks any logic. Arguing that antibodies are irrelevant IMO is being restrictive without measure. These are recent arguments in the thread.
If you read this thread, you will definitely see a strong push to shut down weddings for sure. Look at related threads and you will see the pushback at Lakewood 40,000 students returning to yeshivos. So though the arguments are limited to masks, they really aren't.
BTW The 40,000 are all people who acted without ever reading my posts, so don't try blaming me for that.
There was no AK47 argument. It’s possible ONE poster considered antibodies to be wholly irrelevant, but there certainly isn’t a plurality here who are advocating for that.
Nobody said each minyan must be exactly 10. Nobody said to disallow weddings. (Nearly all) people have said to *restrict* weddings. No, that isn’t the equivalent of shutting down the economy and stifling everyone, it means making small sacrifices to keep infections down. It also doesn’t mean “no more weddings like we know it!” Will they be different? Sure. Is it an insurmountable difference? Of course not.
About the N95 masks- they are far from perfect protection, although certainly those at higher risk must protect themselves better. They are difficult to obtain. Many do not know how to fit them properly. They can’t be reused. Facial hear limits their efficacy. Many health care professionals with full PPE have still gotten infected in hospital settings.
