Who will decide when the shul is full and no more people can be allowed in ? A maximum capacity in 770 ? How will you stop the women’s section from the unfortunate homeless to come back again ? Who is cleaning the siddurim in each shul ? This is a recipe for disaster ! We don’t want a second wave of deaths . Crowd control won’t work unless you have people from outside monitoring. Sorry but it’s the truth

It Can Be Done

Door lady to allow in a number of people and close the doors.
Or there can be lotteries like in some other shuls.

Why?

This dosn’t sound like a recipe for diminishing the virus. I dont think
we’re out the woods yet. Most people might be doubting this move….

Close off certain side streets and paint a mark every six or eight feet so it will be the right distancing. Outdoor minyans are way safer than indoors. You need volunteers to coordinate it. Better safe than sorry. Especially people over sixty and those with health issues.

The point of closing everything was to “flatten the curve” and not to eliminate the virus. The virus is very contagious and will spread even if you “clean off the siddurim”. Stop living in dread. If you drive a car, you can also G-d forbid die (so you wear a seat belt, don’t text while you drive, don’t drink alcohol etc). If you are at hi risk of getting very sick stay home. Those who have antibodies can go where they want. Younger people below 50 can go but know that you may get infected so stay away from older… Read more »

770 doesn’t have enough soap on a regular day , many shuls don’t have proper ventilation or able to open windows . The homeless people bring in germs etc . The women’s section has its own problems with a few women who park there selves there for years with out moving . Even in small shuls who wants to be the bad guy and tell some one they can’t get in . Let’s be real here . This works out if town not in big packed towns .

Horrible assumptions

The medical opinion is that antibodies are not determined to indicate immunity in this case, nor is relying on a past confirmed diagnosis of COVID. Additionally, many in CH haven’t had antibody testing done and many did not have official COVID diagnoses. Someone with antibodies has not been determined by experts able to “go where they want”.
