This is going to be standard community wide, I'm sure. Williamsburg has been doing this, and Lakewood is planning to do this too.

It'll take tens of thousands of tests to drive down rates. It looks like about 1000 positive tests in our community. Skewing positivity rates will have to be a community wide effort to be effective.

The reality is that positivity rates are a bit of a weak indicator anyways. It's pretty obvious that you'll get different rates if you're doing compliance tests vs symptomatic/exposed tests. They're messing with a barometer that wasn't too accurate a benchmark to start with.
But its the one the the government swears by, so we will give them a piece of their own medicine.

I wasnt saying we shouldnt take precautions and be very careful, but closing business that required masks and were presumably pretty safe when people will just go to a different zip - as the local frum elected officials were saying - seems stupid.

What should really be happening is enforcement of existing rules regarding schools and simchas where most of the spread is occurring.

I was thinking the same....
Anyone with two brain cells to rub together is thinking the same.
I believe it's not about stopping the spread. Rather a threat against the small businesses in those areas, so the leaders of the community will be pressured to take action.

Many small businesses have no intention of closing. Sounds more like he wants to punish these zip codes.

Can anyone explain what the logic behind this metric (rate of positive tests) is?

Why are we still testing???  Our communities are testing like crazy,  therefore positivity rate is higher than other places.

But somewhere in my heart I feel antisemitism.   Its not a coincidence that 9 zip codes, that are coincidentally where all NYC Jewish people live, are being shut down

He didn't give an end date for school closings. I guess he will use that to threaten community leaders in his meeting tomorrow

More testing doesn't cause higher positivity rate....

Isn’t it a clear fact that the fatality rate is lower this time. So what the hack?
