Is Covid Spiking in Boro Park?

When people make assumption not based on fact it is not a tremendous surprise that the assumptions proved to be wrong.

Ask anyone in BP, they'll still say everyone had it. They had a much higher concentration of cases then probably any other frum community, outside ns/kj.

Be that as it may, there is a large gap between "a much higher concentration" and "everyone had it". When people make such ridiculous leaps and aren't bound by reality then they shouldn't be surprised when reality snaps back at them.

That by the way it works, If you know of 10 people that have it, 1000 have it.

I saw it reported that FDNY (!) was yesterday going up and down 13th Avenue giving tickets in stores where employees weren't wearing masks. Meanwhile, the BP weddings continue full speed ahead...

I heard Chinka was closed down (or closed themselves due to fines) but not sure for how long

The Palace also closed.

I was at a wedding at a Boro Park hall a couple of weeks ago and the manager was very nervous. He showed me the texts he was getting from managers at the other BP halls that were closed down mid-wedding. The Palace, Chinka, Vishnitz and Ateres Chaya, I think.

If only there were a solution to this.

Currently it is to get married in Lakewood or Monsey, it seems. Anyhow the wedding season ends tomorrow and what will happen in mid October when weddings start up again only the One Above knows.

I know someone who got engaged recently and they're making the wedding in lakewood (where the boy lives) instead of Brooklyn (where the girl lives) for this reason.

I think they closed in response to the NY Post article and the spotlight it shone on them. But unless some were forcibly shut down by the authorities, I think they're all back up and running. My neighbor made a wedding in Ateres Chaya earlier this week. The invitation specified a specific door to enter through. There's a wedding in my shul at Kol Yaakov tonight, and another one tomorrow in BP (not sure where). I'm not going to any of them, but it's clear that Cuomo's threats were empty. I'm curious who called in FDNY to BP thought.
