I wonder if they are connected to the Orthodox lawyer and his family in Ny who have it?

There are some tests pending in VA, but not Northern VA. No confirmed cases, as far as I know.


Does your daughter go to a private school or Fairfax Co public schools?


Private. But they follow FCPS usually.

Why does it matter? Can you try to be kind during this time? We’re all just trying to figure out what’s going on.

Relax people! stop feeding the hysteria!


Well, I have a 92 year old grandma with lung disease and parents in their 60s, one of whom has underlying health problems, so yeah — I’m somewhat concerned.

There are estimates that 40% of the population could get it. With a 3 percent fatality rate, that’s roughly 4 million deaths in the USA.


The 3 percent fatality rate is a gross overestimate. They are so many mild cases of the virus that are not diagnosed.


Then take the 2 percent fatality rate in China. Still a ton of people dying.

Bnos Yisroel


Not Bais Yaakov?



No. Maybe fortunate because Bnos Yisroel is a lot smaller. Though the Baltimore Orthodox community is so interconnected that it won't matter in the end. What's in Bnos Yisroel will spread to Bais Yaakov.
