Charedi communities are suffering from the virus more than anyone suspects



 In a briefing given Haredi journalists two days ago, the Haredi coronavirus crisis manager Roni Noma, claimed that 11% of the coronavirus patients hospitalized are from the Haredi sector.

He quickly qualified his remarks and said that it is impossible to know the exact figure because "many of them choose to quarantine at home". The charity 'Chesdei Amram' has revealed numbers that confirm this assertion and show the situation in the Haredi sector to border on catastrophic.

According to data obtained by Behadrei Haredim, from the beginning of January until the 19th, the organization received 9,641 inquiries regarding home quarantine, of which 5,931 people were accorded counseling and guidance. 3,767 individuals were hospitalized in the same period, including 927 in critical condition.

Of the patients in critical condition, 426 have recovered. 3,441 of all patients have recovered. Of the total number of those at home, 1,556 people needed a doctor's visit.

The organization emphasized that the situation is far more serious than the hospital data might indicate.

Over the course of 19 days, 4 people died in home care, but the organization has no information about the fate of the 34 patients who were moved from their houses to hospitals. About two months ago, between the second and third wave of infections, Channel 12journalist Yair Shreki posted on his Twitter account that his sources in Chesdei Amram reported an increase in demand for medical oxygen, as well as some patients being removed to hospitals.

A spokesman for the organization, former Haredi community leader Yoelish Kreuss, emphasized in a conversation with Behadrei Haredim that Shreki's report was only partially true. "Two weeks ago, we lent 70 oxygen kits to patients who preferred home care, and have placed 111 kits in hospitals. This much is in Shreki’s report. "Kreuss explained, adding," If you look at the data on the critical patients in hospitals, you will find that the rate of new cases is dropping.”

Kreuss added that these are not Haredi patients, according to Kreuss, and that there are now almost no oxygen kits in Mea Shearim or anywhere in the near area. "Our oxygen kits are now in use as far away as Dimona and Be’er Sheva,” Kreuss notes with satisfaction. Wherever they are, we see a considerable preference for home care, where the patient can be assured of individual attention and compassion.”

How Mitch McConnell’s Betrayal Will Help Destroy the Nation


by Michael Goodwin

 Et tu, Mitch McConnell?

Just when Washington has a chance to turn the page, fresh signs emerged Tuesday that the past is not yet past. It is almost certain now that the Senate will hold an impeachment trial of President Trump next week.

Even worse, it looks probable he will be convicted of a single charge stemming from the Capitol invasion. 

The history-making event got the green light from McConnell on his last day as Senate majority leader. 

Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, McConnell said of the Jan. 6 incident: “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”

The comments build on earlier reports that McConnell was glad House Democrats were impeaching the president and that he might vote for conviction. The speech signals he is likely a yes vote, which would open the GOP floodgates and yield at least the 67 Senate votes needed for conviction.

He spoke as reports circulated that Speaker Nancy Pelosi would transmit the House charge to the Senate later this week, with a trial to follow.

President Trump on Tuesday granted clemency to 143 people, including well-connected celebrities and nonviolent drug offenders – but did not preemptively pardon himself or his family.

Two of those pardoned of most interest to the Jewish community are Eli Weinstein of Lakewood, and Sholom Weiss formerly of Boro Park.

How to turn your iPhone into a SCANNER: The hidden 'hack' dubbed a 'game changer' by hundreds - as the other top tricks are revealed

A mom has wowed hundreds after sharing a simple iPhone hack that allows you to scan documents straight onto your phone without downloading any new apps.

The woman Brandi Mumma's post was shared on Facebook, where countless phone owners said they didn't know how to scan apps on their iPhone 'until today'.

'Did you know, if you have an iPhone or iPad you actually have a scanner,' Brandi Mumma wrote.

'Parents, if you are planning to scan any work to your teachers or teachers if you are scanning work to your students you can use the "Notes" app.'

To try the trick for yourself, she said you simply need to open a new Note, press the camera button at the bottom of the screen and the 'option to scan the document will pop up'.

'Once the document is scanned, you can email it easier than a photo, plus you can add notes to the scanned document,' Brandi Mumma said.

Hundreds who saw her post said they 'never knew this' and thanked the mother for the 'game-changing' piece of advice.

'Omg! It took me 43 years to learn this,' one woman wrote.

'I actually regularly use CamScanner on my iPhone for business as I wasn't aware of this function. Thanks for enlightening me, will try it today.'  

Another said: 'Oh my goodness! I was going to Officeworks to buy a scanner today! Thank you'.

A third said: 'Son in-law showed me this the other day, he had just found out as well'.

Hillary Clinton Losing it ......suggests Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of Capitol riot'


 Hillary Clinton has suggested President Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of the Capitol riot' and said she would 'love to see his phone records'.  

In a conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on her podcast 'You and Me Both', Clinton said she would be interested in obtaining Trump's phone records to see whether he was on the phone to Putin while the Capitol was under siege.

Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, said that it was clear that her former rival has a 'disdain for democracy', but that its true depths may never be known.

She claimed that the president had 'other agendas' while in the White House, and said she hopes that one day it will become clear who Trump was 'beholden to' and who 'pulls his strings'. 

We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas,' Clinton said. 

'What they all are, I don't think we yet know. I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol. 

'But we now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy.'

Blind Man Regains Sight Thanks To Israeli Startup’s Synthetic Cornea

 

A 78-year-old man who has been blind in both eyes for 10 years has regained his sight after receiving the first implant of an artificial cornea developed by Israeli startup CorNeat, the company announced Monday.

The CorNeat KPro implant is designed to replace deformed, scarred or opacified corneas, and it integrates with the eye wall with no reliance on donor tissue.

Professor Irit Bahar, head of the Ophthalmology Department at Rabin Medical Center (formerly Beilinson Hospital) in Petah Tikva, performed the procedure.

Once the bandages were removed, the patient was able to recognize family members and read text.
