When I said “disease,” I WASN’T referring to covid-19. I was specifically responding to Health’s attack against me about the strange Kawasaki-type disease that unfortunately has devolved in rare cases of children. I agree that COVID-19 is common enough that Hashem wants us to take the correct precautions for that (and we should). I was only saying that maybe the extremely rare disease some of these children have developed falls under the category of an uncommon danger.
I agree, I’m not a baki in halachah, and I wasn’t coming to make a psak. Let me clarify. The creator of this topic was asking where these yidden are coming from, and I was merely coming to be danlkav zechus and explain the tzad why these particular yidden may not be as worried about it. Despite not being a poseik, I’m pretty confident if the ONLY concern for opening yeshiva’s was some RARE disease may chv”sh occur the askonim would still at least be ok with opening yeshivas with proper precautions. I made a pretty logical kal v’chomer: If our poskim feel it’s safe enough for us to drive kids to Yeshiva where the danger (as far as I’m aware) is greater, kal v’chomer our poskim wouldn’t feel it’s safe enough to take our kids to yeshivah IF the only concern was about the children. I have a raeih too: Why are many askonim calling for the opening of camps now? Not only that, but during the Swine Flu epidemic, the yeshivos didn’t close down, and that was DEFINITELY more common then this Kawasaki-type disease.
Due to the logical kaal v’chomer, I assume the reason the poskim closed down the yeshivos were because of a concern that the kids may chas vshalom infect their older family members or older rebeim. I agree that’s a concern enough to have them shut for the time being until they tell us otherwise. As I said before, I was merely trying to explain where some yidden are coming from, because clearly the creator of this topic was looking to be daan lkav zechus.
