Protests are not ok and davening in a minyan that disregards social distancing and masking is not ok. But just because stupid politicians have messed up priorities, it DOESNT mean that we should be careless about our health. We would all be better off listening to our frum ehrliche doctors who have nothing to gain by publicizing their opinion except for getting nasty comments from people who have bad middos. And the doctors have been begging us to all do some simple things like wearing a mask.
It’s so unfortunate that we’ve reached this point. Had people done the simple things we could have avoided the current situation. But it’s just uncomfortable to G-d forbid put on a mask…. so here we are discussing another lockdown.
