I was informed this evening that people who attended a wedding outside Crown Heights a week ago, and spent Shabbos Sheva Brochos in Crown Heights have tested positive for covid-19, some are symptomatic.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Was the wedding in the Bronx?

"Dear Family and Friends, 

The Gruss Life Monument Fund supports the giving of vaccines to young adults from the ages of 12 and up in order to protect the Crown Heights community from the dangers of the pandemic and the variants of the disease.
 A vaccine clinic is being held at the Razag Hall 739 East New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203, on Sunday, 6th of Tishrei from 10am to 1pm. 
This opportunity is being offered to Bnos Menachem families before the general public.  Slots are filled on a first come, first served basis and a stipend of $1000.00 is being given to each vaccine recipient. 
The Pfizer vaccine will be administered in order to minimize and hopefully eliminate the damage and devastation caused by Covid. The clinic is open to men and women ages 12 to 18.

To add a name to the list of participants,  please complete the attached form.

Maximum 100 participants.   Responses need to be received by 9 pm on Sunday, September 5, 2021."

Other than the 100 who get paid, I wonder if this will cause more or fewer vaccinations

This is $1,000 cash??!! Being given to minors? I don't get it.

At very least make it a raffle with 100 winners, so that more people participate.

If it was a typo they'd have corrected by now. You can already get $100 from NY, no?

Other than the 100 who get paid, I wonder if this will cause more or fewer vaccinations

Why would it make a difference?

Can we start talking? Or are we still pretending nothing's happening?

It was spreading wildly since Yom Tov, though I think it has slowed down considerably of late. With the Kinus, I'd assume there will be another uptick.

I doubt anyone will say anything in an official capacity, but it would probably be prudent for Shluchim to do a kind of self imposed quarantine when they return home.

At least the ones who live abroad have to get tested before they fly home. The Kinnus should offer free/unlimited on-site rapid testing, though nobody will want to test negative and have to miss out...

The Kinus has mandatory rapid testing at registration for every Shliach and mandatory rapid testing at the banquet for every guest. You can't participate in the Kinus without a negative test (and evidence of vaccination / antibodies / prior covid infection)
