By addressing their warnings only to those who haven't yet got it.

As they have been doing for ages

They and just about everyone else have been doing that since April. Where have you seen otherwise?

From what I heard he was strict about mask wearing and distancing (himself and people around him).

Is attending shul with virtually nobody wearing masks (including himself) considered being "strict"?

Please don't take this in any negative sense ch'v, just didn't see his conduct much different than anyone else. Which makes his passing even more unsettling IMHO.

In any case, it is a terrible tragedy.

TBH, my comment about him being strict is based on comments I heard from a friend. I have no first hand knowledge or observation.

As you said, it is a terrible tragedy.

Old story, just people upset with it put a negative spin on it

They were planning on putting in turnstiles by the dining room since last tishrei, after the kitchen management turned over.
They are trying to keep costs down by only letting in those those that are officially supposed to be there.
Apparently they finally decided to go ahead with it.

I went to the Ohel before R"H and mask usage was greater than 90%.

Last night it was below 5%. Never felt like such an other. Really makes me wonder what would be the Rebbe's advice on it.

I'm surprised. They weren't enforcing? I've been a couple of times recently and they had someone reminding people.

There isn't a single store in Brooklyn without the "No Mask No Entry" sign posted.

Then there's one that lists no mask together with no shoes etc...

Hypertension as well. The comorbidities criteria is very ambiguous and at least the official guidelines only require you to self certify, though there have been reports of people in NYC being turned away for not having proof of comorbidities shortly after 2/15/21 when they became eligible.

There’s also a whole host of occupations that qualify you, though Teacher is probably high up there for the Frum community who is not yet vaccinated.
