This is what is written in the article:
*Experts say success is far from guaranteed, especially given the **push
back from many local residents
**in
the affected areas. But the consensus among epidemiologists contacted by
Gothamist is that the state’s plan—which was developed in consultation
with experts such as Dr. Thomas Frieden, a former city health
commissioner and a former director of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention—represents a measured response to an emerging problem,
striking a balance between doing too much and too little.*
*“The other thing would be to move to a stay-at-home situation, like we
did in March, which we absolutely know works,” said Dr. Denis Nash, a
former epidemiologist at the city Health Department and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, who teaches at the CUNY Graduate School
of Public Health.*
*“That's not what anyone wants for any neighborhood,” he said. But
extreme lockdowns remain an option if coronavirus spread continues to
escalate and gets out of control, because, “that is what we know is most
effective at getting the reproductive number down to a place where it
can be controlled again.”*
Read this carefully and you will see why these experts are so dangerous.
Also - this same article says:
*“It’s reminiscent of **the measles outbreak
**[last
year] in these same places, though at least then there was a vaccine,”
he said. “Here, with not even a vaccine, we have fewer and blunter
instruments to work with.”*
*
*
This is factually incorrect. It is not the same places and measles is
much worst than COVID-19, although there is vaccination available. It
is a completely different issue.
It also says:
*Dr. Lorna Thorpe, a former CDC and city Health Department
epidemiologist now at NYU, agreed that authorities need to find
“champions and credible voices in these neighborhoods to help build
trust.” She also said enforcement efforts, even as they single out
specific geographic areas, have to carefully avoid being discriminatory.*
This shows just how lost the experts are. These are Jews. They live in
their synagogues, and in their yeshivot. They can not be convinced to
remain isolated from each other because it is a fundamental aspect of
their lives as Jews. They can not be Jews if they are not together, and
physically together, all the time. Furthermore, the state has no
alternative plan for these people because the high number of children
means they can not remain home, under house arrest, under any
circumstance. These houses have no room. They tried to relocate
largely to South Fallsburg and the state nixed that over the summer.
The state and the experts are very good at reading numbers, but piss
poor at understanding how communities and people live, and what sustains
them. To Jews, this is a direct attack on the very nature of their
Jewishness and they will never ever relent.
In my opinion, these reactionaries in the Jewish community are right.
They are the canary in the coal mine. While they can not continue to
live as Jews and raise there children as Jews under these conditions,
this is also true about the rest of humanity as well, but it is just not
as visible. Human Beings can not live for long periods of time in
isolation. We are seeing the results of this recklessness in soaring
suicide rates, rampant violent crime, and skyrocketing drug overdoses...
and that is just the start.
