    HCQ+ zinc might only help in the beginning of the infection when he might get cured on his own. The question is if then, is it worthwhile to take on any risk?
    n0mesorah, Dr. Fauci is not part of the CDC and so is not the Admiral and Dr. Birx.

    health, how can you say such stupidity, government agencies survive if they encourage more virus? Trump is the leader of all these government agencies, so he also encourages having more virus. The fish stinks from the head.

    We listen to the doctor even on Yom Kippur, if he says you must eat. So, if the doctors say it is dangerous to smoke, we should listen to them especially in public. See SA O”CH (618,1).

    So according to the RMA above both are true. Zachor for talmidei chachomim as they learn and don’t work the whole week and available to guard shabbos and rest anyway. So they must honor shabbos by eating and drinking. Shamor for baalei batim who are busy the whole week emphasizing to stop working on shabbos and set time for learning.

    The RMA says from the Yerushami in SA O’CH 290,2 that baal batim busy working the whole week should emphasize learning Torah on shabbos where as yeshiva leit who learn the whole week should put some emphasis on eating and drinking. shinah beshabbos taanig either learning or sleeping.

    The difference is pointed out by the Klei Yokor in Parashas Yisro that Zachor the creatiion of the world and resting the seventh day applies to tne goyim also who are required also to make some commemoration for shabbos whereas Shamor remembering Yetzias Mitzraim and refraining from the work done in Mitzraim as Tosfas in Arbah Pesochum (perech in AT-BASH is Vgal adding up to 39) only applies to the Jews.

    How did Avraham Avinu know that hachnosas orchim comes before kabolas hashchina before Kabolas Hatorah?

    Its a halacha in SA YD when one sits shiva l’a, and a his rebbi comes in, when he wants to get up, the rebbi should not tell him, don’t get up as it gives an impressiion not to get up from the shiva.

    Before the sin of the Eitz Hadaas there was an innocence like children. We did not need physical action to perform mitzvos as the mind was clean. Someone on the level of navi regains this innocence as King Shaul was shedding his clothing when he prophesized.

    The Dubner Magid interprets the above Hilel with a mashel. A young man hired his uncle as a financial advisor.
    He constantly told him that he is losing money. Eventially he had enough. The young man went to someone else. He was told, separate yourself from your uncle as he is a ganev and pocketing the money. The interpretatiion is, whoever has hatred towards you, don’t make him your friend. This refers to the yetzer hara.
    He acts like a friend but realy he is your enemy. When go out to the battle, know that you are fighting your enemy. Recognizing this, you will succeed and Hashem will give him into your hands to defeat him.

    I said, if Hashem would have said no, they would have said, what is He hiding? They put Hashem kavayochel in a vice where what ever He does is a problem, so He did not command to do either side. The problem was according to the Rav Abarbanel and Maasei Hashem that they publicized their findings.

    The Dubner Magid explains that a person might go to a beis din for two different reasons. Either to make sure that the other did not take something that belongs to me or I did not take something that belongs to him. Moshe Rabbenu said to Yisro, if they have a dispute, he comes to me. Should have said, they come? As he is arguing in the second case behalf his friend, one side is enough to come. The Chasan Sofer explains that their dispute comes to my heart to act on it.

    Another reason why stealing by the dor hababul was so grave to destroy the whole creation on it is that one denies a ruler over him saying leis din veleis dayin. By nilah on Yom Kippur, one averah is specified stealing from Hashem by using his providence for our own purpose and not for His service.

    There is a difference between chukim and mishpotim. By chazir it says don’t say I don’t like chazir but say I like it but Hashem forbade it. This does not apply by stealing which is self understood that it is wrong as the Ibn Ezra says not to desire what belongs to someone else as a villager does not desire a princess, being out of his reach.

    Moshe Rabbenu knew that they are strong so why did he asks them to see if they are strong if not that they should realize it themselves that they need Hashem’s help to conquer them, so he wanted them to arrive to the conclusion.
