If NYC is at 2.4% then many zip codes are above 3% and many neighborhoods are above 4% if @NYGovCuomo were to Red Zone them. We said weeks ago that COVID-19 is a NY problem but Cuomo pretended it’s a Jewish one. He neglected the issue and caused a spike in harassment of Jews.
Case counts and infection rates can fluctuate based on local testing patterns, but deaths from Coronavirus tell a clearer story. Over the last week, TWELVE counties had more Covid deaths per capita than any of the 4 counties where Cuomo had set up Jewish-focused Red Zones. Image
In Coronavirus deaths per capita over the last 7 days, Orange is number 13 on the list (12 counties are worse); Rockland is at 16. Those two counties have Cuomo Red Zones in it yet the cases from a few weeks ago did not put those 2 counties at the top for deaths. How? Answer:
The Red Zones were a a red herring from the get go. @NYGovCuomo carved out narrow neighborhoods to sell a narrative to deflect from the fact that whole counties have worse cases than those zones. Proof that those counties were worse? Look at the death count of the last 7 days!

@rosnersdomain The second paragraph contradicts your generalized paragraph before that. BTW, there is no data that lack of rule following is an Orthodox Jewish problem or that OJs have worse infection rates. If Richard Spencer made such claims on all Jews, you would pounce. Image
More garbage, @rosnersdomain. You claim “Ultra-Orthodox Jews tend to be poor by design. They prioritize study over work.” Employment rates among men (in Hasidic-populated Kiryas Joel) is quite close to that of NY overall as seen from the chart which is based on Census surveys. Image
@rosnersdomain Per Pew, a larger portion of Haredi households in the US earn above $100K a year than the genera population, so (Orthodox) Jews can’t win. If they earn well, antisemites pounce that “Jews have money.” If Orthodox earn less, bigots pounce.

VIDEO! Three weeks into @NYGovCuomo’s Red Zones and the sad results are in.

#OJPACData
Below is the NYT link for the data in the video. Numbers are updated daily. In the chart in the video (updated Oct 27th), 12 counties had worse death rates than the downstate counties with Red Zones, but in the Oct 28th update, 13 counties were worse.

URGENT UPDATE! Now 15 counties in NY have worse Coronavirus death rates over the last 7 days than any of the counties in which @NYGovCuomo made Jewish-focused Red Zones the last 3 weeks. 2 mornings ago, 12 counties were worse. The data is from the NYT link above.

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.

#OJPACData
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

“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.

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?

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.
