Crown Heights as a COVID-19 lab

[ExGingi]

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)

PDF tests and/or vaccine evidence accepted?

[Yehuda57]

PDF tests accepted?

For the negative test? Everyone gets tested on site.

They should do PCR as well so Shluchim can use that for their trip home.

[Yehuda57]

They should do PCR as well so Shluchim can use that for their trip home.

They have that option available in addition for those that need.

[Yehuda57]

Any other suggestions?

[Yo ssi]

Any other suggestions?

They should quarantine upon arrival (to ch) not to CV effect anyone

[Yehuda57]

They never allow the Shluchim anywhere near the farmers, this year is no different in that regard.

[ExGingi]

They never allow the Shluchim anywhere near the farmers, this year is no different in that regard.

Except to repeat Shimshon Stock's ע"ה immortal words.

I know that was sarcastic, but it’s bizarre and hurtful to say that In so many ways.

[Yehuda57]

I know that was sarcastic, but it’s bizarre and hurtful to say that In so many ways.

The only things said that are bizarre or hurtful were said by the people I was satirizing. Honestly, I'm not sure a) what is bizarre, and b) who would be hurt by it. You, as a Shliach? I grew up on Shlichus, as did my wife. Most of my family is on Shlichus, and even my grandparents who lived in CH were "sent" there on shlichus by the Rebbe himself. I have worked with dozens and dozens of Shluchim (including you). Or is it the CHers that would be hurt? I mean, I wrote this and this.

So yeah, I'm not really sure what was hurtful about a joke which is making fun of neither CHers nor Shluchim, and the people it was making fun of sadly wear it as a badge of honor.

I guess I am not very into satire.

Not getting into the bizarre part, what is hurtful is when things are set up as "us vs. them"

[Yehuda57]

That's *exactly* what I am making fun of, I just thought using the term "farmer" made it clear I was joking about the specific individuals who would use that term.

I new twist on the thread caption “COVID lab”. I’m actually not surprised that one of these rabbis (father) issued a vaccine-skeptical letter after being presented with all of this “evidence”

was it the evidence? Or just the 8 hours of being chewed in close quarters by MG

Just because his son was there means he should change his opinion? He didn't see any of this evidence. His son's opinions on this are well known, there was a voice note going around a while back of someone saying how terrified Jr was, that he went to the Ohel when his father went to get the shot. None of these guys needed 8 hours of testimony to form anti vax opinions. This is like Dan sitting through 8 hours of testimony to hear all the reasons he shouldn't fly American.

I wasn’t aware that Sr. and Jr. weren’t on the same page on this issue.

Should I consider myself lucky for not knowing who you're talking about because that website is blocked by me?

[AsherO]

Should I consider myself lucky for not knowing who you're talking about because that website is blocked by me?

Yes, sad state of affairs.
