Deblasio Shutting 9 ZIP Codes Again

[dovy2]

So we'll wait a few days and see.. if there is no significant drop, I think our case is solid.. two full days of zero testing should show up on their data

[junion]

does anyone know if the posted rates go by test-date or by reslut-dates?
if it goes by test-date, then we have a clear indicater that the Jews are not at fault, because on 10/10 the brooklyn red-zones had 7.2% positivity rat, and that can't be from us who were not getting tested.

except for those of us getting tested after being hospitalized r"l

[junion]

anyone hear of any schools/shuls having any inspectors around today?

[Traveler718]

I don't have details, but I heard there were many inspections in BP (which apparently reopened claiming to be day care, which is considered an essential service), and some in Flatbush as well. I didn't hear of any problems or sanctions, but don't know more than that.

Where can you find the daily positive rates by zip code?

How would zero testing make the positivity rate look better? It only help if you look at that day but if you had 100 positives out of 1000 tests, even if you add a day of zeroes you’re still at the same rate (minus 15 days ago that drops off). If 15 days ago was a lower positivity rate than the average, having no testing actually hurts the rate.

Reminds me of the story about the entire town laughing at the town's fool acting silly, with the exception of one person. When asked why he isn't amused, the response was "unfortunately this fool is mine".

Anybody know what happened with the testing drives, did they help, make it worse or nothing?

He's ignoring another important factor, also related to our lifestyle. As a community, we travel more than almost any other group. You cannot rule out the probability that this contributed to the virus being imported from other places.

And yes, the lifestyle of Hookah bars and buffets without masks at the Simchas Torah banquet.

You're missing the point. The people who were ok doing those things on ST were ok doing reckless things the entire time.

People who do these things are indeed reckless, regardless of Covid...

Those videos were deeply disturbing, and not because of Covid.
