The frum community in the us needs a serious plan to deal with a potential outbreak here. Our major Yeshivos can easily be closed down for weeks if ch”v a few students test positive. This would disrupt the lives of tens of thousands of us. I would like to see a greater sense of urgency amongst our leadership in preparation for this scenario. As reported, the fatality rate of this virus is R”L 10 times higher than the flu, we need to get prepared t ou protect ourselves.
What greater sense of urgency are you suggesting that they are not doing by listening to the local government entities or the federal guidelines?
Another Website is carrying the announcement from the Five Tiowns Rabbonim (icluding Rabbi Dr. Aaron Glatt, Board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases, is currently Chairman of Medicine and Chief of Infectious Diseases / Hospital Epidemiologist at Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital). So yes their is leadership in addressing this issue.
The fatality rate is unknown since it appears that most people exposed to the disease don’t get sick enough to tell those who keep statistics. Unlike flu, it doesn’t have a severe impact on children, and Baruch ha-Shem, our community has lots of children. It is an extra round of flu season, with no vaccine.
It is not, unless it mutates, anything all that serious (compare the regular measles, chicken pox and polio epidemics prior to the vaccine, the influenza of 1918, and the plague epidemics prior to antibiotics). The world really isn’t ending.
What’s the fatality rate of the flu?
Ten times the fatality rate of waking up?In Teaneck the Rabbanin have shut down all schools and Shuls

Meir G: Nothing to worry about. The Trumpkopf has tweeted that you and your family at at “very, very low risk” and that the testing program is “working wonderfully well” and “anyone who wants a test can get one”. He also said today that everyone coming in from Europe is “being tested very strongly” and that the virus will “soon be gone”. Every one of those statements was contradicted today by the scientists and members of his task force. If you had money in the equities markets, 18 months of gains were lost in the past week. All is well. Nothing to be concerned about because its a “foreign virus” and we should blame the Chinese, the Italians and everyone else except the “stable genius” who spent the past 2 months doing nothing on preparedness and testing other than shutting down flights from China.
Gadolhadorah, Goot gezugt!
Honestly, there is nothing that you can do besides prevention, and hocking won’t make the virus go away either. So everyone just daven, do teshuva, and have kavana l’covid 19 brochos of shmone esrei in order to bring Mashiach now!!!

That was true, at that time. With a New virus, things change everyday.
It was the Libs under Clinton that Decimated Medical Care. The US used to be Number 1 in Medicine!
Like Obama/Biden did any better with swine flu? No matter what you say this virus did not start in the US but overseas (yes in China).
I can’t believe that even through all of this, some sick-in-the-head people are still so obsessed and demented that they’re putting so much of their time and focus into weaponizing this against the President. This has nothing to do with him. Pull your head out of the sand and go seek professional help.
