Dr. Anthony Fauci: Synagogues could reopen for High Holy Days
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/5/20

Posted on 05/08/2020 1:12:25 AM PDT by Eleutheria5



Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told American rabbis on Thursday that synagogues in the US may be able to be open for the Jewish High Holy Days in the fall, but only if certain conditions are met in terms of testing, contact tracing and social distancing.

Speaking during a conference call organized by the Orthodox Union and quoted by Haaretz, Fauci expressed optimism that religious activities could be renewed before the end of the year.

He noted, however, that synagogues would not be able to operate in the same way as prior to the pandemic.

Fauci said that it would be a "good idea" to hold Minyan prayer services once every five days, as opposed to every day, pointing out that he did assume to understand what this would mean “from a spiritual standpoint.”

He also said he expects the virus to still be around in the fall, perhaps as part of a "second wave" of infection. For that reason, there will still need to be restrictions on mass gatherings and people will have to practice social distancing, he added.

The re-opening of synagogues over the next months could be gradual, continued Fauci, who suggested that synagogues in areas that were hit hard by the virus may need to return to operation later than those in other parts of the country.

He added that members of the population who are more vulnerable to the virus, such as elderly people and people with underlying health conditions, could be the last to join services.

Breaking news: Trump has resigned the Presidency. Fauchi will now assume dictatorial powers.

Trump once again supporting the very people who will do anything to take him down. He certainly has a political death wish.

The way it is going to work in California is paid political storm troops will come to your house if you are positive and require your obedience to all their requests then decide if they need to forcibly quarantine you and remove you or your family. You will have no say. And yes there will be armed law enforcement at hand to assist if you disrespect or object to the process.

This model has been effectively been used many times in the past. You may or may not have to wear an arm band, and you probably won’t be loaded into cattle cars for a train ride, so there’s that.

Thank you, oh most high Overlord. We the People are grateful for the permission to express our gratitude to our most high Creator for His love.

We are particularly grateful that you, oh Supreme Being, for deigning to speak to us lowly, stupid, bumbling peons.

Who elected you?

Nobody.

Trump why do you still have this guy on your team?

Trump don’t see how you are such a great businessman and leader. You managed to sucker in a lot of people to vote for you the last time. Definity better than Hillary, but having doubts you can pull it off again.

The only sane solution is to open this country up and social distance with people 65 and older.

Oh yes! I forgotten that we are so grateful, so very grateful, to express one of our most important fundamental rights that our forefathers, in their infinite wisdom, gave us.

Next you will be telling us that we may go hunting or go to a shooting range to exercise our second most important fundamental right.

And may I dare hope that we might be allowed to defend ourselves should we be attacked by one of those prisoners that you helped get released?) That, too, was a miraculous decision that bothered us not in the least.

Thank you, thank you, sir.

You’re right. But I really feel that we may have jumped the rails on this sanity track a long time ago. I don’t know. I am pretty discouraged.

But what you say is true and a good idea. Unlike any of those that file
cheese...oops, voice-to-text mistake..Fauci has offered up.

From now on, I’m calling him file cheese. It makes about as much sense as any of his decisions do. LOL!

It sounds like Fauci will still be in our hair in the Fall. When will the Oracle finally be phased out? It’s like being in a sci-fi movie which never ends.

Apparently Butt Sniffin is perfectly safe.

I wonder if Trump got suckered into this because he is a clean freak.

”how exactly does ‘contact tracing’ work?”

Legitimate contact tracing is used to contain a virus when it is containable. For example, if we had 20 cases.

What we have now is a surveillance state using an uncontainable virus as an excuse.

If you have Google Maps or another map app on your phone, every move of your phone is already being tracked.

Fauci says who can do what?

Strange. I dod not vote for him.he’s an unelected bureaucrat, right?

An unelected official, metering out 1st amendment constitutional rights for Jews.

Someone should stick a sock in his mouth and tape it with Gorilla duct tape.If this keeps up he will be deader than a door nail.
