Can coronavirus spread in water? Summer safety warnings during the reopening

Everyone into the pool — just remember to leave your face mask on deck.

While seemingly mundane activities — including attending religious services, getting a haircut and dining at your favorite restaurant — are all high-risk for catching COVID-19, swimming during the coronavirus appears to be relatively safe.

Experts report that the virus does not live in pool water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread through the use of pools and hot tubs.”

But before you do your most obnoxious cannonball into the deep-end, here is what you need to know to ensure that an afternoon at the pool will not end with the virus swimming in your bloodstream.

Does chlorine kill the coronavirus?

Chlorinated pool water is fatal for the miserable microbe. “The average amount of chlorine in a pool is going to kill the virus,” Roberta Lavin, professor of medicine at University of Tennessee’s College of Nursing, tells US Masters Swimming.

Does saltwater kill the coronavirus?

Similarly, scientists report that coronavirus is unlikely to thrive in ocean water. It prefers human saliva to, say, the Coney Island surf. And while fresh water may not kill this vicious virus, the likelihood of being infected on a lake is remote. “You’d probably have to drink the entire lake to get an infectious dose of the coronavirus,” Paula Cannon, a professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at USC’s Keck School of Medicine, told the Los Angeles Times. “The dilution effect is so humongous.”

When Rav Shteinman forced a Rosh Yeshivah To accept a boy from a Modern Home!

This is an oldie but goodie... I  posted this awhile ago...

But I think that it is relevant now,,,,,

Since this time Hashem Himself closed the Yeshivas....

Why?

Watch this video closely and you may have your answer...

I will try to summarize what happened here ... the conversation goes from Yiddish to Hebrew then back to Yiddish  ...

It also has captions in English ... but I'll try to get everything in .

If you follow closely you see how clever and funny Rav Shteinman was .... sometimes it seems like he is not getting it ... but it turns out he got it very well ,.... but kept to his psak ...

"You must accept every child even if he may ruin others!"

Williamsburg And Boro Park Residents Forget they are in Galus and Protest The NYC Sheriff Dept After They Shut Down Stores

 I am all for opening the stores, 

but the way to do this is to put pressure on the Mayor and governor ..... 

Chassidim tuchislekked them, voted them into office despite the fact that they had perverted values ...... 

Where is Nadler? Schumer? ....Helllooow?? Anyone home?

The storekeepers should remember that they are in galus not in Israel ..... 

Hundreds of stores and small-businesses opened their doors on Sunday in defiance of the executive order.

As was expected, the NYC Sheriff Department visited multiple stores in Williamsburg and Boro Park to issue summonses and order the closure of the stores.

In Williamsburg and Boro Park crowds gathered to protest the closure of stores on Wallabout Street and on 13th Avenue. 

In Boro Park the scene turned ugly with people screaming at the Deputies, and passersby encouraging the protesters to hold their ground and not disperse.

Naturally, social media exploded with viral videos and many are claiming that the city is targeting the Jewish neighborhoods.

Coronavirus patients no longer infectious after 11 days ...New study

Coronavirus patients stop being infectious 11 days after contracting the disease — even if they still test positive for COVID-19 on day 12, according to a new study.

Singaporean infectious disease experts said they found that the virus “could not be isolated or cultured after day 11 of illness,” according to a joint paper from the country’s National Center for Infectious Diseases and the Academy of Medicine.

Researchers looked at the “viral load” in 73 COVID-19 patients to measure whether the bug was still viable and could infect anyone.

“Based on the accumulated data since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the infectious period of [coronavirus] in symptomatic individuals may begin around 2 days before the onset of symptoms, and persists for about 7-10 days after the onset of symptoms,” the researchers wrote.

Patients may still test positive after two weeks, but tests could be picking up fragments of the virus that are no longer viable for spreading the infection, researchers said.

“Active viral replication drops quickly after the first week, and viable virus was not found after the second week of illness,” researchers wrote.

The researchers suggested that the findings could inform hospitals’ decisions about when to discharge patients.

In the US, many hospitals require patients test negative for the virus twice to be considered recovered from COVID-19.

Though the sample size was small, researchers are confident that their findings will be replicated in larger studies, NCID executive director Leo Yee-Sin told Singaporean newspaper the Strait Times.

“Scientifically, I’m very confident that there is enough evidence that the person is no longer infectious after 11 days,” she said.

The trial begins. A guide to the trial of Israel’s Prime Minister

The efforts to unseat Netanyahu failed at the polls. 
Will they succeed in court? Three cases about gifts and media coverage. 

When Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in the Jerusalem District Court on Sunday May 24th it made political history.it was the first time that a sitting Prime Minister has faced criminal charges.

The timing is immaculate. After a traumatic year in which three elections failed to produce a majority government, it took the political skills of Netanyahu and the conscience of opposition leader,Benny Gantz to cobble together an emergency unity government. Yet, even before this government has fully taken its Knesset seat, the acting Prime Minister has set out on a marathon legal journey to clear his name.

“There will be nothing, because there is nothing,” has been the drumbeat slogan of Bibi, as he is affectionately known.

Throughout the agonizing process of investigations by the police, acting on the orders of the State Attorney-General, Netanyahu has protested that there has been political dirty business going on aided and abetted by a compliant media. He proclaimed that the only way the opposition can get rid of him was by staging a coup using the courts as a way to removed him from power.

This may sound familiar to American readers.

Netanyahu’s lawyers have lodged over a hundred complaints of leaks to the media and prosecution witnesses talking to reporters.

Leaving aside protests, let’s look into the charges ranged against him.

Dear Europe – the Israelis are not your Jews ..... Don't Tell Us Where We Can live..

What utter Chutzpah, what gall...

Countries like France and Germany that murdered their Jewish citizens are telling Jews living in Israel that they cannot live in their own country .... 

When Jordan grabbed lands in 1948, that didn't belong to them, no one said a word...

Why are the Jews in Chutz Le'aaretz silent?

The countries warning Jews not to "annex" are the countries that raped and murdered you grandparents .... not too long ago ....

How do the descendants of Nazis tell us not to "annex" when they not 75 years ago were on a mission to 'annex' the entire world?

Where is the Agudah? Where are the Chareidie Rabbanim..

Why are they allowing the children of murderers to dictate where Jews can live?

They don't want us in Europe they don't want us in any of the 22 Arab countries and soon they will deport the Jews from the USA ...
So now they don't want us in Israel either,,,

Where is everyone??
Wake Up before it's too late ...

Here read from New York-based bestselling American novelist, Jack Engelhard who writes regularly for Arutz Sheva.

Satmar Says That "Trump Announcement of Opening Houses of Worship" Was Because of the Rebbe

This is has to be the craziest and most comical story ever....Who in their right mind would really believe that President Trump, the leader of the most powerful country in the world would in anyway be influenced by R' Aron Teitelbaum? ......

Not even his own chassidim ... not one of the  Satmar Blogs  or their twitter groups dared to write these lies because no Satmar guy with brains would ever believe that ....
they tried to peddle this childish nonsense to the Chareidie news blogs but had no takers ..... so they found Matzav.com a litvishe gullible blog that totally fell for this Satmar propaganda  ........

As reported on Matzav.com, President Donald Trump announced on Friday that all governors are to allow the immediate opening of houses of worship, including shuls, and that if they do not open these houses of worship, he will intervene.

The lead-up to the president’s speech and what happened behind the scenes is largely unknown, but sources indicate that Rav Aharon Teitelbaum of Satmar’s involvement led to the president’s statement.

The days of Jordanian control, when Jews were denied access to their holy sites, are proof that 'shared sovereignty' is a delusion

by Gerald M. Steinberg

As a Jerusalemite, the degree to which the modern history of our city is mangled, distorted, and rewritten by journalists, foreign politicians and diplomats, and less-than-rigorous academics is a major source of frustration, particularly around the celebration of Jerusalem Day.

Almost inevitably, we are told that “East Jerusalem” and the “Old City were captured by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 war, without reference to the status of this city between 1948 and 1967. 

Outside of Israel, the false narrative portraying Palestinians exclusively as victims and Israel as “occupiers” has replaced the actual history, and substituted propaganda for justice.

The continuing impact of the 1948-1967 Jordanian occupation is central to understanding the broad Israeli rejection of grand peace plans to re-divide this city, including the mirages of “shared sovereignty” and internationalization. While such creative political architecture may sound good, the history of this period should remind us that in practice, such visions will return us to the bad old days,

Jews have lived in Jerusalem continuously, and were the majority population in the decades before the 1948 war. 

The destruction and ethnic cleansing of the ancient Jewish Quarter in the Old City began following the UN Partition Resolution on November 27 1947. 

Arab forces blocked the access road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and numerous Israeli efforts to end this blockade failed, with major casualties. As a result, few reinforcements were available, and on May 28, the Jordanian army (also known as the “Arab Legion”) completed the capture of the Jewish Quarter.

Gov. Ron DeSantis had the right coronavirus response — but the media won’t tell you that

A couple of months ago, the media, almost as one, decided that Gov. Ron DeSantis was a public menace who was going to get Floridians killed with his lax response to the coronavirus crisis.

In an interview with National Review, DeSantis says he was surprised at “how knee-jerk” the hostile coverage was, but he “also knew that none of these people knew anything about Florida at all, so I didn’t care what they were saying.”

The conventional wisdom has begun to change about Florida, as the disaster so widely predicted hasn’t materialized. It’s worth delving into the state’s response because it is the opposite of the media narrative of a Trump-friendly governor disregarding the facts to pursue a reckless agenda. DeSantis and his team have followed the science closely from the beginning, which is why they forged a nuanced approach, but one that focused like a laser on the most vulnerable population, those in nursing homes.
