Do the rabbonim/askanim plan on saying something about the massive outbreak going on right now in Lakewood (confirmed by doctors), or nah?
ReplyDeleteIs it more than the 10 per day listed by the OCHD? Or are there more?
DeleteGrow up and stop trying to make panic
DeleteNo worse then flu
DeletePoor askanim, first they get blamed for people panicking over covid, now for not getting people to panic over it. They never do anything right by this sites commenters.
DeleteYes. There seems to be a lag in reporting.
DeleteOk I'll grow up, but in the interim (until I'm grown) you still need to deal with the facts of a large scale outbreak.
Massive outbreak?? ๐ค while there have been more cases recently mostly from people returning from vacation and camps, it is a far cry from a massive outbreak! Stop trying to cause panic and fear
DeleteThere's an outbreak going on, with scores of cases being reported daily. And probably not even the full picture because many people are just not testing because they don't want to quarantine
DeleteIt's hard to simplify for Lay people and possibly for many of those in the medical field
but the more people are on top of each other and the closer the contact builds an atmosphere which even if they aren't personally affected causes it to percolate
how verbose people remarkably are capable of becoming when they when they wish to rationalize
For the most remote possibility
DeleteDevorim 21:7
School reopening is more important. The outbreak is mild cases.
ReplyDeleteWho has room im their freezer for Moadim bsimcha order its stuffed with milk and frozen pizza from the lunches
ReplyDeleteWhy don’t you just eat the food? Did you take more than you needed?
DeleteIs there free milk? HOw can one get it?
DeleteThey gave too much milk thats it. And the frozen food is not always eaten or liked.
ReplyDeleteSo give it away to someone who wants it
DeleteA lot of people are unsure if they actually got the virus ! and a lot of people who got the virus don't have antibodies possibly!
ReplyDeletedoes all that really matter however Those who don't wish to care about others but want to be pious about it will find a response for everything
probably will be a vaccine in the matter of months
people : control themselves and hold on a few more months
because it will defeat the heimish narrative
ReplyDeletepeople who have passed away in the past couple weeks
eg the wife of R Wolfson,
always propounded as anything but Corona
Even if supposedly some on the periphery get it
facts are the numbers keep going up every single day just check on an Ocean County stats
can you somehow be less responsible than the elders of Egla Arufa
Businesses should remain open for that we could agree in the present circumstances
however things that are recreational or parties unless people are totally perverse shouldn't it be an obligation to have them shut or at least Limited if it even saves a couple people's health?!
GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD: PEOPLE ARE NOT MURDERERS FOR LIVING THEIR LIVES. IF SOMEONE GETS SICK THEN THATS WHAT NATURE DID. YOU HEAR ME ?, IT WAS NATURE , NOT SOMEONES FAULT. HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND ?????
DeleteOh, right, now I get it. If it is nature, then it doesn't matter. The people aren't really dead, their families aren't suffering, and it doesn't hurt. If it is nature, there is no reason to do anything about it. We don't turn on heaters or air-conditioners, because the weather is 'nature'. We don't cook food, because raw food is 'nature'.
DeleteGet this through your head. Your responsibilities start at your opportunities. If you have the opportunity to do something, you are responsible for it. If we can limit society's exposure to this virus, we are obligated to do it. Whatever is possible, is imperative. No more and no less.
