Reply To: When do we close the Schools and Shuls?

I believe you meant to write 7.7 billion people in the world. Closer to 8 billion I would guess.

But your 77 million number is still correct, ASSUMING 1/2 the world ch”v gets sick. Perhaps there are more people with strong immune systems, or those isolated enough to not get sick? From where did you take the 50% infection rate?

In any case as Yidden, especially in Adar, we shouldn’t be delving in worst case scenarios.
