I think the question they should have asked rav Kanievsky in the first place, back in March, should have been:
How can we insure that learning goes on when not more than 5 or 10 people are allowed to meet in a room...

They should not have asked him yes or no, this was a trap, tended to him by his own gabbaim...

They should have asked: how can children/bochrim/yungeleit learn in very small groups!


Do you really think he would have answered such a question without inquiring why it was necessary? And then we're back to the previous position.

There is too much bad history and suspicion for the government to automatically be taken as an authority when it comes to learning Torah.

When the government officials meet with Rav Chaim, or any other gadolim, they give a clearer image. They have more information and an agenda.

I had great difficulty understand how Rav Kanievsky said initially that the talmudei torah and yeshivot should stay open, until I saw this clip.
https://www.kikar.co.il/351046.html

They way he was asked, he wasn't informed. It was before there were any serious cases or deaths.
As soon as he was informed by government and health officials, he said learning should continue in very small groups, and a few days later most yeshivot closed down.


I don't agree with you at all.

I think the talmud Torahs SHOULD have stayed open.

That wasn't the reason for the spread at all.

but it was already shown to not work. Englabd started that way and then changed their minds quickly.
Also, wherever you have groups of people, together, there have been more cases.


According to many scientists, even some Israeli scientists, herd immunity works for covid-19. Sweden is banking on that. As of today, within the scientific and medical communities there are differences in opinion.

I respectfully disagree with your first sentence. Read through the thread...

I totally agree with your second sentence. There are all kinds of people in all segments of society.

Sweden has over 20k cases and almost 3k deaths. So, I think the herd immunity has much to be desired Sad

Didn't read whole threat but a few points:

1. Number of NJ (and USA) deaths is exaggerated. People who were not TESTED for covid are listed as dying from Covid if they have symptoms - even though most people with covid symptoms test NEGATIVE for covid.

Also, if someone dies from heart attack or cancer but they also had covid, cause of death is listed as covid.

Hospitals are paid $13,000 for everyone listed as covid and $39,000 for every covid they put on a ventilator (which may cause death).

2. Israel did take faster action shutting down borders and implementing sd. But the DEMOCRAT Fake News and Democrat Politicians in January and February were OPPOSED to Trump's travel ban and were telling Americans that covid was no big deal - LESS than the flu - and to go to China Town, Mardi Gras Parades, Malls, etc.

These Lying Democrats and their Fake News first accused Trump of "over-reacting" and now claim that Trump "under-reacted" but Trump has video clips of them opposing travel ban and downplaying covid.

Actually this confirms quite precisely what a study about hubei and other chinese provinces just found out:

Implement protection measures 3 weeks earlier - reduce number of cases by 95 %
In this case by 97%.

Israel implemented protection measures earlier. that's all.

OP after seeing these numbers the next thing you do is google how many square miles in NJ and how many in Israel.
I did it with NYC. Just NY City. The amount of people is almost the same and the amount of miles in NYC are ten times less than in Israel. Point is - Israel has that amount of poeple spread out through the country whereas that same number in NYC is in a much much smaller space. Meaning we're more "squished in" as my son says so of course our numbers are worse.

Originally I started the thread comparing NYC to Israel, but someone pointed out that the land area of Israel is closer in size to NJ. I agree that the population denseness is a huge factor in why so many people got infected with the virus .

Can you see the same contradiction in your post, as the one you accuse the CAPITALIZED WORDS FOR DRAMA Democrats of doing?

Not exactly.

According to this New York Times article, N.Y.C. Deaths Reach 6 Times the Normal Level, Far More Than Coronavirus Count Suggests.

I was waiting for these numbers; thank you.

I mentioned the 1918 flu elsewhere. There was no testing at the time, but one way epidemiologists can estimate fatalities is by comparing deaths in those years compared to an average year. Of course the calculations are much more complicated than that, but it is an interesting starting point.

Thank you.
As a matter of fact, in all European countries strongly hit by Corona the excess mortality is more than the Corona Virus death count. At one point, Italy estimated that they were off by a factor of 2, I.e. in reality they have double corona deaths of the figures in the statistics... wich is around 29'000 for Italy... which means that it would be over 50'000 in reality...
