    There are safe and legal ways to open the Shuls .
    But “Frum” Askonim are the reason Our Shuls are shut .

    1. Follow the money. There are many askunim making money on this crisis.

      Obviously quarantining is not working if deaths are up. Extending it 30 days is not the solution.

      The new hospitalizations are mostly old age home patients, and there is no justification for this.

      Murphy is using the virus as a tool to force the Feds to bail out NJ, so that we won't see his incompetence.

  6. -Gov. Phil Murphy announced today he's extending the public-health state of emergency in New Jersey for another 30 days. Murphy said 439 new hospitalizations have been reported a number that is up meaningfully from the past couple of days.

    If despite the lockdown hospitalizations are anyway meaningfully up over the past few days how does that lead to the conclusion the state has to be closed for another thirty days?

    1. Since yomtov, people have been lax about the rules. Ergo, more cases.
      Simple math. But ideology trumps math, with some people,
