So where are they a month later after OP?

Quote
Communities around New York City are experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases, prompting Governor Cuomo to institute a three-tiered system for new rules and restrictions in New York’s high-risk cluster zones and surrounding areas.

While many Jewish communities throughout Brooklyn and Queens found themselves in the governor’s red zones just ahead of Simchas Torah, Crown Heights fared relatively well and is not in any of the three zones.

During a Pre-Simchas Torah conference call with New York State officials, a senior New York State health officer remarked to Rabbi Chanina Sperlin that “the Rebbe surely must be watching over Crown Heights.”

The comment came during a discussion about the uptick in new COVID cases in the city overall, and the remarkably low numbers in the Crown Heights community compared to the surrounding communities.

Rabbi Sperlin, who serves as Executive Vice President of Governmental Affairs at the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council told Anash.org about the phone call and official’s amazement at the events in Crown Heights.

“He told me that despite expectations, Crown Heights is not in any red or yellow zone. He told me that the only explanation could be that Rebbe is watching over Crown Heights,” Rabbi Sperlin said.

If there aren't at least a few hundred new cases in the next few days.. the crown heights covid-19 science lab pretty much proves that anything you every heard about social distancing is false and indeed a hoax.

Why?

770 had full SD during ST. There were sections where it was kept to 6ft, sections where it was kept to 6in, and sections where it was kept to 6μ.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I came here to post pretty much the same thing. Although, I'm not sure I would go so far as to say it's false and a hoax, (it might have been relevant all the way in the beginning,) but if there's no serious outbreak within the next week or max 2 weeks I think we can definitively say that the danger is behind us at this point. (I don't even want to say what the alternative could ch"v be... )

Not if people aren't testing....

If people aren't getting sick enough to need testing then it's all irrelevant.

That's kinda my point. If what we're calling "getting sick" now is only something where you can just wait it out at home on your own without needing Drs etc then there's really not much to worry about.

But that does little to prove anything is a hoax (I know you weren't the OP, just pointing this out).

From what I heard about the OT bubble, basically all the individuals who tested positive were asymptomatic or had incredibly weak symptoms.
Perhaps the strain that has been going around September/October in CH, is much weaker.

I've been her all the way since March, and know many people the same age (as OT), that got COVID then, and experienced far worse symptoms.

Now that tishrei is over and guests are leaving and there were no deaths from Corona in crown heights(that's with guests coming in, simchas beis on Kingston, 770 open.....), why are we still listening to the gedalia society? The week before rosh hashanah they went on a panic porn campaign

1) they are the reason all those positives from 770 and OT were immediately quarantined before Tishrei, stopping potential spread.
2) many, many higher risk people took their warnings seriously and took extra precautions.

The problems with warnings and precautions actually working is that you have nothing to point to in order to say, "This worked." You can't prove something that didn't happen.

One of my sons told me today that he emailed them a question, in order to determine if he will still consider listening to them. Their last response to an email question from me didn't garner much respect for them on my behalf.

Dude, they were quite measured and relaxed with their guidelines. Calling that panic porn is just...I don't even have the words for it, and that's supposed to be my thang.

It's amazing how they became such a boogeyman. Maybe I'm just foolishly naive, but they stand to gain no power, no money, nothing, and their tone has never been panic inducing, even at the height of the trauma. Yet you'd think they were on Cuomo's payroll the way some speak of them.

Not me, but the bnei Torah in bnei brak want too know why you don't sleep in the sukkah?
