The near-complete disregard for taking precautions that I personally witness in the particular Haredi communities in NYC that I am familiar with.
Is that clearer?
The OP expresses legitimate concerns. The near-complete disregard for taking precautions that I personally witness in the Haredi community (and which would appear to prevail throughout at least vast segments thereof) seems no better than the hysteria and excesses we see at the other extreme. Neither seem prudent or grounded in reality. (And it is fairly apparent that the latter is in at least large part driven by and certainly exploited for what is quite clearly blatantly hypocritical political opportunism.) The reasonable approach, I am convinced, would lie somewhere between these two extremes.
Also, Re: “far right”:
the Overton Window has been shifted so far toward “Woke” insanity that in some cases, views that not even a decade ago were still considered well within the mainstream (and even espoused by Democrats as prominent as Bill and Hillary Clinton, Paul Krugman and Barack Obama) are now dismissed as “far right”. As with “racism”, “sexism”, and any number of other epithets used to shut-down discussion and enforce dogma, to use “far-right” unironically (or at least without considerable qualification) is to adopt the language of the enemy. Once one has done that, one has conceded.
As best as I am aware, minimizing indoor contact of extended periods of time is by far the most critical precaution for minimizing the transmission of the Wuhan (“COVID”) virus.
Hand sanitizer would probably fall near the bottom of the list of priorities here. Consider:
– Hand sanitizer should only be resorted-to when thorough washing with soap and water (preferably warm) are not available;
– One should not touch one’s face or food at any time without first assuring that one’s hands are properly clean or donning clean gloves (that have not been contaminated by handling);
– Shaking hands and other forms of physical social contact should be altogether avoided.This may be a WordPress bug that may require a software update to fix.

@ Gadolhadorah:
Have you ever considered that there might be at least some truth in at least some of what you simply dismiss as “anti-Semitic tropes”? That criticism, even from hostile sources, can be at least in-part legitimate? That we ignore and respond reflexively to it at our own peril, <i>Rakhmana litslan</i>?
What is the concern over BlueTooth?
“you will not be able to download software fixes, some of which are essential.”
Just how “essential” are any software fixes for a system that never connects to the Internet?
