What a Chilul Hashem. Anyone else watching Cuomo's Press Conf?

[metsgiantsfan]

I am so Embarrassed. Cuomo is on a 1 hour rant and counting, showing pictures of thousands and thousands of people gathered at events, weddings, shuls all un masked all basically within arms length. HES GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN. These rabbis, these shuls that are not limiting the amount of people in and those that are not enforcing masks will ruin it for everyone else. You can Shukel all you want in shul, if your are not wearing a mask, if you are allowing more than 25-50% capacity in your beit midrash. you are causing a chilul Hashem and doing the EXACT opposite what hashem wants us to do. Its disgusting and I am fed up with this!  My shul has a sign up list, with a guard at the door. we are at 25% capacity at a time..All masks must be worn. If NY shuts down shuls its all because of those few who are ruining it for everyone else..And that you will have to answer to Hashem.  WEAR A FREAKING MASK and LIMUT SHUL CAPACITY!

Purposely didn’t watch

[yitzgar]

Absolutely agree. In addition this will cause more anti-Semitism...

[Yo ssi]

Wrong board?

[TimT]

Wrong board?

This too. What a shanda

This was all very clearly written out by @aygart and others many weeks ago. It took it to actually happen for some to wake up. Sorry to say, this is no surprise. But it’s still terrible.

some of the pics are from years ago   before you accuse research

Your position is that this has not been taking place?

[metsgiantsfan]

Its not from years ago, but lets say it is..Hundreds of pictures can be taken in a moment showing this.

Why did my shul have to have 8 minyin, 4 indoors and 4 outdoors..Limit the capacity to 25% and have the times ranging from 2 hours earlier to 2 hours later to make sure no interaction..Plus sign up sheet with guards at the door. While you have these other shuls who could care less. Pack it in, no masks..they ruin it for everyone..everyone..HUGE chilul hashem

You remind me of the classic joke. Not all cops are bad, 99% of cops give the rest a bad name.

Probably more like 75% in our situation, but yeah

Woa . whats wrong with just wearing masks. needing to make 8 minyanim seems a little over the top.

Masks isn’t the only precaution. There’s such a thing called social distancing & capacity.

Sorry for getting off topic but 8 minyanim at 25% capacity seems a little crazy when by law we are limited to 50%

Is the law a proper arbiter for safety?

It sounds crazy but perhaps medical science and physics is not as lenient as the law. The guidance should also change with the numbers on the ground. When everyone has COVID, need more distancing, while mid summer it would have been fine more packed in.

When you dealing with Cuomo then the law is ten times more then what we need to be safe.
CDC recommends either  masks OR SD

Really? Where do they say unlimited indoor capacity as long as they are wearing masks?

Figures, CDC is the same agency that spoke against masks for months, and still don’t believe in aerosolized transmission. FYI proper social distancing indoors without masks would be way less than 25% capacity.
