Ner Yisroel does require masks for the bochurim. Believe it or not, it is possible to spread the disease even if everyone is wearing masks. It may limit the likelihood but it doesn’t make it that it can’t spread. I know many people who were “careful” and wore masks and still got it. Do people really believe that only non mask-wearers are getting the disease?
Of course not. But for a group of 50 to get it without realizing, something must have gone wrong.

I've seen a lot of rabbeim (in general at many yeshivas) either wearing nothing, or only a face shield, which is basically useless when used without a mask.

If the maggid shuir, who is usually speaking loudly and projecting, isn't wearing a mask, it's likely to spread if he were contagious as masks primary protects others.

Of course, none of this is to say that any single precaution such as masks is foolproof.

As always, the question is not whether the ones who got it were wearing masks, but whether the spreaders were.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Everyone in Ner Yisroel was wearing masks. I thought that was clear.

Don't know about Ner Yisroel. I think @aygart was commenting on

They even shower with masks. It must be that Hashem wanted them to get it and as smart as anyone wants to be His Will is His Will.

They did a concerted effort of hishtadlus - not at all just lip service. Yet the general reaction here is they must have not done their hishtadlus. The assumption of guilt and willingness to lay blame is much more dangerous than COVID.

I have not seen such a general reaction on this forum

So after not keeping any guidelines, now you expect them to work with you? Color me cynical...

If half as much effort was going into preventing the spread of the virus as effort going into preventing shutdowns...

Completely nonsensical.
Really? 140 tests in Boro park yesterday is a low number to consider it an outbreak

There was a bubble of protection until someone opted to break it by letting an outsider daven there for yom tov. Large groups were together, unmasked singing and davening for hours with a covid positive individual.
