Kindergarten teacher who died of COVID-19 left heartrending letter
Arutz Sheva ^ | 18/7/20 | Shalva Zalfreund

Posted on 07/18/2020 12:22:41 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Shalva Zalfreund, the kindergarten teacher who died Friday of coronavirus, had warned of the dangers of reopening early childhood education centers before her death.

In a letter to someone who seems to work with the Clalit health fund, Zalfreund wrote, "In recent days, I received several phone calls from official sources, according to which it seems that I was infected in the kindergarten."

"You certainly saw that I wrote in the past that I am asking for people to take responsibility, since I am in a high-risk group. And now - it's happened....It was to protect people such as myself that these rules were made."

"Unfortunately," she added, "there were those who preferred to send their child...

"For me, it already doesn't matter who infected me and who violated quarantine. I had open miracles, and the fact that I am writing to you at all right now is not to be taken for granted. But I am begging you, and I am asking for the sake of the grandmothers and grandfathers, neighbors and older cousins who surround us - they don't deserve to die! Even if they have one pre-existing condition or another.

"I am not blaming anyone, G-d forbid," she added.

Turning to parents, Zalfreund added, "It's true, quarantining a small child is not a pleasant experience, but it is over within a maximum of two weeks. You can find a lot of reasons and excuses for why you don't really need to keep the quarantine. And in one second you can be true partners in saving lives. You can educate your children in mutual responsibility, respecting others, and protecting lives."

.....

"If one person who reads these words understands the consequences and the obligation to quarantine, I hope it will be to my merit.

Sorry, Shalva. I'm even less convinced than before. You should have been prevented from teaching during the pandemic, because you were at risk. Keeping young children at home is harmful. Keeping the at-risk elderly in the classroom is bass-ackwards. You should have been at home, socially distancing, and a 25-year-old should have been teaching in your place. I'm sorry you died because of the fecklessness of the Israeli government, and pray that you have found a better place that the Minister of Health probably will never see.

Zero information in this article or the one that preceded it about her age, her weight, co-morbidities, underlying health problems, etc. Nothing.

I knew a story like this would pop up and here we are. So, in the real world, what kind of cancer did she have?

Exactly. If you were not staying home you interacted with many other people. How can you know that it was a child in your class that passed the virus to you?
Teachers over 50 or with chronic illnesses should be tele-teaching not closing schools.
Taken to the logical conclusion: people that are immunocompromised are isolated. The world doesn’t shut down and suitup to protect the immunocompromised person unless they are caretakers.

I don’t believe one word of this. As you say, someone at risk has no business teaching kindergarten in the first place. Every teacher knows that you catch everything the first few years. Then you just catch the new stuff.

This is a prank by the national teachers union to close schools. Their tune will change as soon as the election is over.

She didn’t write any letter... just like there wasn’t a kid that went to a “Covid Party” ... this is propoganda.

The election is over over here. Bibi and Gantz will share power. Shalva is dead, and the Teachers’ Union here will make whatever hay they can, but election outcomes are already done. Finally.

How do they know for sure that a kid infected this gal? Story is very light on details.

Ministry of Health, or Education, or whatever says so. So it must be true./s

quarantining a small child is not a pleasant experience, but it is over within a maximum of two weeks.

I know many of you are offended by someone speaking ill of the dead but the line above is a brazen lie.
Two weeks? Try two months and you'll still fall short! The sequesters will keep you locked up as long as it suits their political ends.

All that said, I'm not totally convinced that the whole story isn't a work of fiction.

The Deep State has discovered its most fearsome weapon and is using it constantly now: fear-inducing and heart-tugging propaganda aimed at women.

It’s a bummer, but she didn’t catch it from children.

I agree. Also, even in a country as small as Israel, you have 9 million people, and you can find an anecdote to support anything you want.

Funny how hundreds or thousands of positive outcomes from HZQ+A+Z are “anecdotal”, but one sad story like this is shouted from the rooftops.

I expect to see more of this here as well. As the second spike in the FACT states wanes, anecdotal stories like this may be the only thing the fearporn industry has left.

This is an Israeli story. This happened in Israel. And yes, she really is dead, but she didn’t croak in order to defeat Trump.
