    @Joesph, you are wrong after during the last recession a lot of kollel yungerlat suddenly had the “the schvers credit card and high end lease stopped, and horror of horror’s went to work either as a clay kodesh or in the businesses world. I remember in kollel of the 70s and 80s maybe even the 90s and it was a very different animal,

    I disagree, the norm up to 25 years ago a one man band and a singer was not socially acceptable now its very much the norm, for the foreseeable future [next 6 months or longer] social distancing will be the norm and big wedding not longer be the norm with a possible perminate change.
    I am sure the attendance at the peasch program will not be the same as last year for many years to come.
    Crowded chol hamoed venues wont be the same at least for the near term,
    Just a few examples of how things changed

    @Quayboard, conversely the Yom Kippur war had 11656 Casualties and the Intifada had 9863 casualties, the total casualty count in Israel for covid19 is 208 and they reopened.
    Bottom line both your opinion and Haimy are IRRELVANT!!!

    Milhouse it has zero to do with if can or cant afford the said items or closeness to hashem or lack thereof, its the fact the people were saying “we cant manage without” for example but the multi millionaire and the guy who felt the need to credit card debt to go found out they managed very nicely without it.
    The woman managed without cleaning ladies regardless if you were the real estate tycoons wife, the truck driver wife or the shuls rov wife.
    No one went to lesensk regardless what income bracket your in or how much it help you get closer to hashem.
    Bottom line, we managed.

    It depends on the generation and sector that you grew up in. I grew up in the 70s and 80 where this mindset was unheard of, people in the city lived in small houses or two bedroom apt, Monsey had small houses, Lakewood was an enclave of serious bnai torah who lived in a minimalist society No one drove around with high end lease cars, EY was only for the ultra serious and ultra committed lifestyle, with meat maybe twice a week and no credit card from “der schver”
    Outside the “Yeshiva velt” this is still the exception, the MO community has no concept of “schver support” and chasidisher only stay in kollel for 1-5 years and then go to work.
    Three out of the five industries that will take the heaviest hit from Corona is that the frum olam is heavy into,
    Nursing homes, Real Estate and Construction, it will be years before they recover or even ever get back to our current level, so in the near term “scvhver support” may not happen,

    @yichdick “I’m sure there are many more lessons to learn that have nothing to do with sheitels, or mamzeirim, or anything else. You want an explanation? HKBH is the beginning and the end, and all he does is for a reason. He doesn’t share that with bosor ve’dom, not anymore. Learn what you can from the experience, but don’t have the arrogance to think you know the reason. ”

    Lets see,
    I got to robo calls today one saying the long shaytils caused it, the other say it was technology that caused it, the leader in my wife shmirah haloshon group said it was caused by loshon horah, my neighbor whos son was not accepted in the yeshiva of his choice said it because the boys are not accepted that caused it, my SIL who is a social worker said its because we not embracing at risk kids, my other neighbor says its because we don’t do enough kiruv, parent’s neighbor says is from over development, 3 prior poster had other reasons and the OP has his,
    Why don’t we be humble and admit that not everything is in the realm of human understanding or will it ever be, how about if there is something that we can be misakin on let do it for ourselves and not tell others reasons that we think caused it,

    OMG!!! please enough already, everyone has his own explanation as to why we have covid 19, the last time I check the last of the nivim was about 2000 years ago, At the height of the epidemic I got 17 robo calls in one day with everyone’s agenda as to why this happened ranging from long shaytils, to fancy weddings, to speaking loshen horah, to technology, to the gay parade to building of multi family housing,
    PLEASE STOP, no one knows and anybody who claim they know der aybisters chesbons is a kofer.

    @Avrom Moshe, I never said this is the reason why we have the mahagyfa, I merely wrote that thing that we said we could never manage without and we ended up managing without, take for example lack of cleaning help because the cleaning ladies didn’t show or we didn’t want to get exposed, what did we do? we all pitched in a little extra and deferred the spring cleaning. Not going to Peasch programs, Lisensk or Keristur, we rolled back the clock 25 years and managed.
    I happen to be 100% in agreement with you about person who claim they know hashems reasons I would take it to the next level and say it borders on being a kofer, the last novi we had was 2000 years back.

    @ Avraham Moshe, boy that virus must be getting to you that you resorted to this.
    In reference to #6 I think is a wonderful mesorah and I missed my kids and grandkids, but I MANAGED, It was something I LOVED having not something I NEEED, people said they NEED to go to MOMMY and they found out that they are capable of making Y.T for themselves.
    #9. Mir and Chachmay Lublin learned in Japan and Shanghai during the war, people can learn anywhere including NY NJ, the going to EY to learn started big time about 20 or so years ago and it became a rite of passage, now we see people can manage without that rite of passage and the 1000s that go with it

    Unhealthy, here is the main difference that I as a frum happily married hetrosexal man am not affected in any way by gay marriage, frankly I don’t care who my plumber, banker, clerk spends his off hours with.
    on the other hand the NIOSH and CDC are codified in CFR, therefore if you have a disagreement with CDC the opinions are irrelevant unless you move to a new country and follow that country rules.

    Luna, closer example is one that in a doctor offers unsolicited opinion for example if something is doceh Shabbos and the rov rules otherwise, the doctor then goes to the bima and goes on a rant insulting the rov and threatens anyone who listens to him, That doctor would most likely be thrown out of the shul and told never to return.
    That is the closest example I could think of, not your analogy of a child with high fever
