Reply To: Covid in Frum Communities

Regardless of the various opinions, the facts are there is an increase in infections in our communities and that there has been great laxity in any precautions. You can dispute whether masks and distancing and sanitizers are effective but you cannot dispute the anecdotal evidence that people are disregarding these measures and there is a sharp uptick in infections. As one suggested to ask my rav, I am certain whatever the rav’s explanation it still would be prudent to take precautions. Some rabbanim are taking seriously, others aren’t. Come to think of it, what valid rationale was there to ease restrictions? Because people got tired of them? As for De Blasio and political suicide…he can’t run again anyway.
