Really interesting points. Maybe Hashem wants us to be moser nefesh for our shuls, something that Jews had to do for hundreds of years until the last half century in this country. Maybe things have become too easy and we have taken them for granted and that is itself part of the message.

While this situation obviously doesn’t have the din of שעת השמד , since even if there is an anti Semitic component the intent is payback and punishment, not an attack on the religion per se, it does have an eerie similarity to times in our history when it was.

Is that a misquote (paraphrasing) of the הקדמה of חובות הלבבות at 1:09 or is that a quote from somewhere?

Who's idea was it to have all the demographics color coded the same on this?

Sure seems like the virus is anti-Semitic

Have total tests gone up? And you are saying they doubled. Still, even with the requests not to test etc. I find it very hard to believe that the numbers from a couple of months ago till now have only doubled.

Where did you get your numbers from?

@whacked1

Looks like you were mistaken, as I guessed

Percentage wise, around the same. IINM they have been fluctuating in the 1.5-2.5 range.

Any word on who would actually enforce it? NYPD doesn't want to.

Most likely doh & no-name inspectors from the mayor’s office.

State troopers

State troopers

During the first wave they begged to not have to do enforcement in the city anymore.

Please explain to me why middle seats are ok to be filled on planes (12+ hr flights, no less!) but schools, shuls and businesses need to close. Same goes for why Corona Queens gets to remain open even though their #s per 100k are much higher???

When you get mask compliance in shuls to be as good as they are on planes, you can start to compare. Shuls were open. We messed that up.

And what are the numbers in Corona, Queens?
