The downstate (Jew-focused) zones averaged a 3.51% infection rate last week and 2.78% in the just-concluded week. The upstate Focus Zones, created just days ago in counties with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it, averaged 6.2% last week; 6.1% this week.

TWELVE COUNTIES (with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it) had worse Coronavirus infection rates yesterday than the average rate of the Jew-focused zones at 2.41%. It’s time to let go of these farce narrow-zones and to focus on the counties that are doing worse daily.
In all the weeks that @NYGovCuomo and staff made the COVID-19 resurgence about Orthodox Jews, there were multiple counties upstate who had daily worse infection rates than those norrowly-design, Jew-focused Red Zones. Now there are many more counties doing worse because people
like @NYGovCuomo @melissadderosa @RichAzzopardi misplaced the focus of the issue. By pointing at Jews, they gave many non-Jews to false security that all is good in their backyard but now things are worse. We warned two weeks ago that this will happen! ojpac.org/updates/corona…
2 weeks ago we wrote “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.” It took Cuomo another 10 days to create Focus Zones in upstate counties.
When we warned two weeks ago that making the new COVID-19 rise a Jewish issue will lead to neglect among non-Jews, Coronavirus averaged only 3.9% in the five worst NY counties. Yesterday, the 5 worst counties averaged 6.8% (and the Jew-focused zones averaged yesterday only 2.4%).
For weeks, whole counties across NY have worse COVID-19 infection rates than the rates in the narrowly-designed, Jew-focused zones, yet @NYGovCuomo keeps focusing on those downstate zones and has yet to make a Focus (or Zones) in all the trouble counties. Cuomo is pretending that
the COVID-19 rise is smaller and narrower than it is, but yesterday...
❌38 counties were at 1% infection or worse.
❌ 12 counties had worse rates than the average Jew-focused zones.
❌ The worst 5 counties averaged 6.8% infection. Jew-focused zones averaged 2.4%.

On Friday Oct 23, Rockland’s Red Zone at 1.23% Coronavirus infection rate was lower than the statewide 1.31% rate and lower than Rockland’s countywide rate of 1.6%. The Red Zone is a Red Herring by @NYGovCuomo and staff to deflect from a statewide problem. Namely, COVID19 is up!
