I feel terrible about that. There are so many people so sick that they can’t wear masks? Why davka Lakewood? Is there a lot of asthmatic people there?
I mean, considering Lakewood Rabbonim hold that people should follow the advice of Dr. Shanick and wear masks indoors, this must be something serious if so many unhealthy people who cannot wear masks are being forced to leave their homes in the midst of a pandemic!
Just last week we heard stories of previously healthy people who are now gravely ill due to catching COVID-19. Baruch Hashem it seems we will not have a repeat of six months ago will nebech so many meisim. Hashem has given doctors the knowledge how to treat most patients.
But we still have to be vigilant shomrim and make sure we keep our distance and wear masks! We never know if we may have COVID and so we should try as hard as possible to make sure people around us don’t C”V end up in the hospital medicated.
הכל בידי שמים חוץ מצינים פחים
Everything comes from Hashem. But if we aren’t watching our own health and the health of our chaveirim, then the sickness comes from the hands of Man.
