1. Any new fish in the tank?

2. What’s the point in frightening everyone?

   • It is mind boggling to me that a nation who would raise millions in a short time to send someone to a hospital out of network because they might have a small percentage of a better outcome. A community that has amazing organization to refer people tp the top and only the top doctors because we believe in hishdalus and that requires only using the top doctors whatever the cost be it financial or emotional on the family. Would for some reason throw out all medical advise when it comes to covid-19 because it is a little uncomfortable to wear a mask.What happen to basic hishtadlus?

3. To Did

   In order to protect fools from their own stupidity.

4. Unfortunately the data that’s becoming more readily available, that seems to be inconvenient for many to address are the huge increase in death from suicide, anxiety related issues that many end in cardiac death, astronomical increases in drug use with all its consequences, the general mental Heath crisis thanks to those who want to instill non productive fear into people based on the unknown, and the list goes on. The combination of all the above mentioned stats are from a risk assessment prospective many times worse than any covid related matter.

   In connection with long term affects it may be time to have a long hard look at 2 main additional ones.
   1: the long term mental Heath affect children will have growing up in an environment of chaos.
   2: the huge risk in long term affects in allowing our already corrupt politicians having any say in our way of life Jewish or non. This is the perfect setup for a communist USA.

   • Thanks for your sanity!

     Another major point is the difference between younger & older populations. The younger population are dying from your said arguments & the older population is the one that is at risk for covid death. Lumping the 2 together is killing our children!

5. Thank you Dr. Roberts.
   That was very informative and helpful.
   My only question is as follows,
   Covid deaths are recorded as follows:
   anyone who tests or has already previously tested positive for COVID and dies for any reason would be recorded as a Covid death.
   so if someone is in a car wreck and also tests positive for covid they are a covid death.
   how can we trust the narrative if this is what is going on? it seems like they are trying to scare us

   • When hospitals start running out of beds you know something is wrong, people please use some seichel the conspiracy theories are for those that can not think for themselves..Listen to the experts you trust them for everything else.

6. So sad that people fail to understand that NOT listening to the doctors is failing to do our hishtadlus.. Its important for people to understand the world works bderech hateva – we can not expect to do what we want and then think hashem will protect us. That is called relying on miracles.
   Why put yourself in danger when we have a vaccine that sounds promising coming very soon??

7. I will begin by saying that I do certainly respect Dr Robert. He has done a lot for the community, for Yiddishkeit In general, and a lot that people don’t know about.

   That being said I do have a few questions that I will consider emailing him privately as well but if it’s something that he happens to see the comments over here and is able to respond, I think it would be very beneficial. In no particular order…

   As far as the virus is concerned here in New Jersey, over the past 7 days the number of infections are really 0.25% of the population. As he noted, the percentages given based on tests provided and amount of positives from those tests. Granted they like to expand the numbers out but truth be told that’s seemingly a very incorrect way of projecting who has the virus currently. Of the 8.882 million people in the state, not everyone is walking around with the virus. People are getting tested primarily because they’re not feeling well and they have reason to be tested or they have to test for another reason, or they’re being told that they should test in order to bring the numbers down IE playing with the numbers. When you take the amount of positives divide that by the amount of people in the state, you get a much better number of closer to 0.25%, which makes a lot more sense.

   As far as insisting that people were masks outside their house and if not, they would be fined for it, I have a few questions. As a conservative Republican, how do you correlate that with your political beliefs. Especially when you know already from the CDC, that the virus is only spread by close contact. It’s not hanging around in the air like they originally were claiming way back in March. There’s a lot more that we know now, or think we know now, that we could rely on. One of those things is that you don’t get it by just walking down the street.

   Getting back to my original question, If 0.25% of the population has it currently over the past 7 days why are the hospitalization numbers so high as you pointed out. Based on better treatments or earlier treatments, that hospitalization number should not be so high?

   I do believe still until it is explained to me in a manner that can be understood that the higher percentages given to us as a scare tactic, that’s not to say that the virus is not a bad virus It’s just to say that they are giving us a higher number for emphasis.

   Finally, as far as the vaccines you are reporting, I read that one of them, the first one, the one that’s 90% etective, really makes you sick for a few days with actual symptoms, strong symptoms of the China virus. Why is that? They even said you would have to take off a few days of work! Why is the flu vaccine able to give you some symptoms of maybe not feeling totally 100% but you’re able to get through the day more often than not and this one they’re actually putting real real real virus into you that’s going to do something. If you’re telling us all these horrible things that are happening the people who had the virus months ago and that they really still need to watch out over the next many years or longer, the vaccine really isn’t going to be doing anything other than delaying the inevitable.

   Sorry this came out a little bit garbled perhaps, but I am trying to do this on Google text-to-voice and sometimes it doesn’t behave like it should.

8. Maybe so people actually follow the safety restrictions. Wear masks, SD, avoid large gatherings all together!

   • You’re assuming masks work. Who says they do? They sure don’t seem to be doing anything. Please don’t lecture me about masks if they are not proven to work.

9. Though he means well, it’s probably a wise idea to speak with a doctor who is in clinical practice and perhaps those who specialize in Infectious Disease, Virology, Cardiology, and Pulmonary medicine, etc, about the topics raised by Dr. Roberts.

   • Please find one credible doctor that does not agree with him..

10. we need more fish in the tank

11. Dear Doctor, you can’t give a definitive R-naught value for covid, and say covid is less infectious than measles. Covid 19’s r naught value is constantly changing and a floating point. The virus is infecting people at higher and higher levels than initially, hitting its latest peak across the USA of 181,000 in one day on November 13. There is a lot we don’t know about this virus; under a microscope, it looks similar in physical structure to the flu, but yet it is unlike anything we’ve seen, something only Hashem can explain.

    Now, as to mask wearing, I hope a country other than USA requires full mask wearing at all times, so we can see DEFINITIVELY from their numbers that masks don’t work. I expect coronavirus will rise continually everywhere in the world despite increased mask wearing. (You can’t learn anything from China; their claim to have beaten corona virus is farcical. They and their communist censors have put on a proud face while their people are dying.)

    In the USA, where data is not censored, people have been wearing masks in stores, schools, gyms, all kinds of indoor facilities nationwide and we see it has not reduced the virus from spreading in higher and higher numbers. It is more infectious than ever due to a number of mutations, the most prominent of which, D614G, changed its spikiness, replacing aspartic acid with glycine at its speartip,making it sharper, so that it could penetrate host cells in the human body much more easily.

    Masks are a useless salve to fight this. Doctors love pointing to masks so that they can misdirect everyone from the real truth: the truth is human doctors have no cure for this disease. So they say, it’s still here because you’re not wearing a mask. How much misdirection can one take. We have tried the masks and they are just useless.

12. Then what gives Trumps new expert Dr. Attlas the right to say his opinions- He is not an expert in any of the above mentioned medical specialties!
    Just Saying

13. my husband works every day in the. hospital , we live in an area where
    most people wear masks , they do work, we visit and do our activities outdoors, we use an air purifier w uvc rays when needing to be socially distant indoors wi doors and windows open w limited amount of people
    We bh are all ok in our area
    it definitely works
    we also take all the recd vitamins for shemira we should hear nisim and niflaos for chodesh kislev ih

    • This is anecdotal. I’m happy for you, but the major surges if the virus are in areas where everyone wears masks.

      • Well said Abe.

    • what area would that be? Lakewood has 400 new cases in the last three weeks according to OCHD

14. I find it it interesting that when Dr. Roberts talks about possible election fraud, an area in which he has no special expertise or knowledge, nearly every commenter agrees with his conclusions. Yet when he talks about a mitigation measures to prevent pandemic spread, relying on his particular knowledge as a practicing physician, most posters disagree. It’s almost like people decide whether to agree with him or not based on whether he confirms their previously-held beliefs. Unless the fish tank was changed and that made the difference?

    • I’m not sure why you would find that interesting at all.
      That is exactly the point, when someone articulates a point that you agree on you agree, and when someone tries articulating a point that you don’t agree on you argue with it.
      All this proves is that people are stating their honest opinions and not formulating them by what one person says. Had everyone agreed with him on both issues that would have been more “interesting”.

15. If you call the Somech Hotline, they have a lot of different protocols for prevention and treatment that have helped many people and do work. @reb – I’m happy what you’re doing is working. Most likely the preventative vitamins you are taking are the most effective thing you are doing. People can’t stay away from others and do everything outdoors forever. This is not a virus that can be controlled, but it could be treated with many effective protocols coming to light. Also, EVERYONE TAKE VITAMIN D — it has helped many people have better outcomes! EIN OD MILVADO

16. There’s something very fishy about this story

17. Why do u think you can make the laws. Who gave you that right? Some people do not go out because selfish people do not wear masks. I say that people should be fined for not wearing a mask off their property

18. I started watching Rich Roberts’s latest video with an intention to roll my eyes at yet another one of his soap box speeches that come across as condescending if you disagree with him.I am lax with masks in shul,so I thought I was going to be doing a lot if eye rolling.
    I didn’t do any eye rolling.He made his points clearly,without any of his usual shtick. I can honestly say I will do things very differently going forward.Thank you Rich.
