Just two weeks to flatten the curve. Remember that one? Good times.


Wait till the climate change rolling shut downs, they'll be a hoot.

And your statement about "these people are not normal" is untrue. They simply refuse to live in fear. Life goes on. If one of them catch the flu, well let them deal with it.
It's up to all of us to wear masks, wash our hands, social distance etc. Not just me. What is wrong with you?

I'll repeat this again:

It is up to you as an individual to wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, not have promiscuous sex, take showers, clean your clothes, and most of all, eat the right foods.

If only everyone followed this advice...

Listen, no matter how many times I say so, personal responsiblity with cleanliness and lifestyle choices will always trump wearing a mask. Mask is not going to save you, dude. Masks only serve to delay the inevitable and provides a false sense of security - for only COVID (out of all the infectious diseases that are out there).

You're either healthy or you're not. But you're probably upset because you think this is about politics - it's not. But I see clearly how the media forces people to think irrationally with fear and anger.

That is so not true. I belong to a Chabad House, and they welcome Jews of all degrees of observance. Please stop spreading hostility toward religious Jews!

Oye. Just listen to all these antisemitic posters, dumping on religious Jews.

I went to services at an ultra-Orthodox shul for the High Holidays. It was held outside, the chairs were spread far apart, and masks were required. They even had a box of masks sitting in a table in case anyone forgot.

Those of you making broad, hateful judgments against religious Jews are just as bad as people making broad, hateful judgments against blacks.

People not wanting to live in fear has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion.

Your service may be in accordance to social distancing laws but what about the many other events that weren't? Why is there an uptick of covid cases within their community?
I harbor no hate or ill will toward the Orthodox or their community but I am frustrated with them. They have been vehemently against social distancing from day one. Even in Israel. They have been caught red handed having weddings and social gatherings with hundreds of people in attendance dozens of times right during the height of the pandemic. They make no excuses for their poor judgement and call people that try to curb their behavior "Nazis".

They obviously won't listen to the Mayor, the governor or the CDC. They won't even listen to their Rabbi's who've pleaded with them to stay home, don't go out, don't gather in large groups, wear masks, etc.
