Coronavirus is Rising Across NY in Areas with no Orthodox Jews. @NYGovCuomo, @melissadderosa and @RichAzzopardi Still Blame Jews for the Resurgence.

STATEMENT:

ojpac.org/updates/corona…
One day @NYGovCuomo focuses on regions. The next day on counties. The following day on zip codes. The next day on blocks within zip codes. Then, he blames the statewide COVID-19 resurgence on Orthodox Jews. An OJPAC co-founder spoke to @NBCNewYork about it.
Governor Cuomo keeps repeating a line that Orthodox Jews are now upset despite softer rules than the spring because back then rules were not enforced and now they are. No, Governor. Back in April, you did not single out Jews (by changing metrics); now you do. See the differnce?
Around 30 counties are at 1% infection rate or worse and half a dozen counties (mostly with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it) are at 3% or worse. Yet you Mr. @NYGovCuomo keep pointing at Orthodox Jews. This is the key outrage; not rules of now vs. the spring.

“An Orthodox Jewish advocacy group accused @NYGovCuomo of unfairly scapegoating Orthodox communities for rising coronavirus cases, noting that positivity rates also have climbed in upstate counties with no measurable Orthodox populations.”

”’The tone from the governor is reckless because it leads people to think that Coronavirus is not an issue in their non-Orthodox backyard which may lead to a neglect in following rules,’ read the statement from the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council.” recordonline.com/story/news/cor…
BREAKING! Many counties across NY with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it have now very high infection rates:

11.9% Greene

9.6% Yates

7.1% Hamilton

6.1% Chemung

6.0% Cortland

5.9% Schuyler

4.7% Steuben

Orange (2.9%) and Rockland (2.2%) have way lower rates.

County Executive @SNeuhausOC of @OCGovNY thinks that Kiryas Joel was an early Covid19 problem but he ignores the fact that residents followed early advice from officials to test. Due to the early testing, KJ cases appeared early. Not testing, does not mean there are no cases.
In his #COVIDー19 update on Sunday March 22, @SNeuhausOC spoke about KJ almost at the top of his message. KJ has 25,000 people in a county of 375,000 people. It is antagonistic to pick on a small village (based on flawed math no less). This is the relavant portion.
Basically, @SNeuhausOC suggests that KJ has an infection rate of 60% based on a doctor who said that 60% of his tests are positive. Days earlier, Neuhaus suggested that KJ’s rate is 90%. It is not prudent to set county policy based on claims that fluctuate so wide within days.

Hasidim stay in one place "oh no, they overdevelop." Hasidim move into new areas "oh no, they are taking over." Hasidim mind their own business, "they are insular." Hasidim shop at malls and go to entertainment places, "they are everywhere."
Hasidim use social services, "oh no, they suck the system dry." Hasidim have an unprecedented network of charity orgs (which help reduce the reliance on many gov services), "oh no they only help their own."
Hasidim own properties, "they are rich greedy landlords." Hasidim use some social services, "Hasidim are poor." (Well, every community has people on all sides of the economic spectrum, but it's Hasidim so every complaint goes even the contradictory ones.)

STATEMENT BY THE FAMILY OF JOSEF NEUMANN with details about their beloved father following the #Monsey stabbing attack, and with a call to Jews around the world to share their experiences with anti-Semitism and adding the tag #MeJew.

"Our father Mr. Josef Neumann was severely stabbed multiple times during the mass attack Saturday night. The knife penetrated his skull directly into the brain. He also suffered three cuts to the head, one cut to the neck, and his right arm has been shattered. Our father's status
is so dire that no surgery has yet been performed on the right arm. Doctors are not optimistic about his chances to regain consciousness, and if our father does miraculously recover partially, doctors expect that he will have permanent damage to the brain; leaving him
