Mask Burning Over Cuomo’s Crackdown on Size of Religious Gatherings
Protesters burn masks in Brooklyn coronavirus hotspot over Cuomo's crackdown on religious gatherings https://t.co/ShlUQTEgCo

Health Editor’s Note: Cuomo ordered return to lockdown in nine New York City neighborhoods due to localized spikes in COVID-19 cases. Yes, lockdowns in only the neighborhoods which had increases in COVID-19 cases. An additional 12 zones were placed under slightly less restrictions.
The lockdown does not mean you are locked into your house and can never leave. Restaurants will still have carry out food, only nonessential businesses will be closed, gatherings at churches should only be of ten people, banning of mass gatherings (closing of schools)…I repeat, none of these measures mean you will have to be locked in your home and are only meant to keep you from being in crowded situations where the coronavirus is easily spread from human to human. This makes total sense if one does not want to contract coronavirus.
A large Jewish population lives within the nine neigborhoods that were placed under lockdown. There is a reason for the increased cases which would be occurring due to lack of physical distancing, large gatherings, lack of mask wearing, etc.
Always, always there is some way to try to place a clearly medical situation into the realm of politics and assaults on civil rights. Heshy Tischler who lives in the lockdown area announced there would be “peaceful protests’ every day, but then called those protesters his soldiers and pronounced they were at war. A war against a process that is trying to stop the spread of coronavirus and potentially save lives? How can you declare war when someone is trying to save you?…..Carol

Guess the right to life also would justify the right to die. All I know is that I’m not the judge.
Everyone can make a choice about their own life, but not others.
Legally and philosophically, it’s an interesting concept; arguing that you are being prevented from acquiring immunity. Scientifically, it does not have to make sense, because from that perspective, science isn’t the arbiter. Ultimately, (and I know I’ve used a lot of adverbs) they are arguing against coercion.
The religious argument, is that the powers of the state and the will of the people do not usurp their individual right to gather, even if deemed a public health danger.
They argue that religious freedom trumps power of the government, and in fact presides over it. thus, the end goal is to insert religious based laws in the laws of the government under the guise of religious freedom. All religions attempt this in all countries, and are very useful to outside interests.
This is kind of a big deal here in NY, and the original super spreader event was a jewish wedding in New Rochelle. And again, we are talking about religions that advocate for extreme controls within their communities. Just a few rules from the Kiryas Tosh, community…

The members must submit any inter-personal conflict to the arbitration of a rabbinical court.
The Sabbath must be observed in strict conformity to Jewish law.
Male members of the community must study the Torah and other religious texts for at least two hours a day. (apparently this is in addition to the 3 services per day)

All dresses must be at least four inches below the knees; no trousers or panty-hose may be worn by women and girls 3 years of age or older.
