1. WHY ARE THE JEWISH RETAIL STORES OPEN AND FULL OF PEOPLE?!?!
   Please do not let children enter ANY store PERIOD!
   This is pikuach nefesh for many, many fragile people.

2. PLEASE add guidelines for Daycares and Playgroups!!

   • Agree. Plenty of babysitters working all over town, please specify this in the plea. As we know children can have no symptoms.

3. To Linda : why do you single out Jewish retail stores? Last I checked, all retail stores are open and full of customers, not only Jewish ones. To name a sample few: Walmart, CVS, Target, Quikcheck, furniture stores,shoprite, Department stores, etc etc. No recommendation was yet made to shelter in place and for all to remain quaranteened.. People still need food, clothing, health supplies, etc etc.

4. what about having cleaning ladies is that safe?

5. To truth, because those stores carry essentials that people need and most of non Jewish clothing stores are closed get your facts straight before you after people.

6. Clothing stores are not selling necessities. This is a time of crisis.

   The grocery stores should allow one person per family at a time.

   • Linda, I agree that one person per family shopping is smart and that ventilation is necessary. People need to complain so the front doors be left open or inside air conditioning to filter the pathogens in the air. You can suffocate, Chas Vashalom in Dollar Tree. I started wearing gloves because the germs can live for over a week on surfaces not being disinfected. Hashem Yishmor. Are the groceries keeping longer hours now? I would rather shop at 7:00am than at 10:00am with a full store.

7. Why are the CHS playgroups still open? Can someone please appeal so that they should shut?

   • Why do you care? If you are in your house, they cant give you germs

8. Please post printable.version.

9. Can you please either allow the latter to be printed, or please email it to me so I can print it and give it out to my neighbors?

   Thank you

10. I agree with Linda and am shocked to hear that non essential stores are still functioning, with all the news we are hearing about the quick spread in our neighboring communities we should do our very best to limit the spread. The fact that other retailers remain open does not justify our community not doing the best we can do. We should have higher standards. The facts are that most large and small retailers have already either closed non essential stores or have plans on doing so.

11. Wouldnt u expect signatures to validate this letter….just wondering

12. Why do we need to wait until people are dying in the streets for people to listen and start practicing social distancing ?? Look around the world, at china, Italy and Iran. People are being buried in mass graves. It’s time to wake up and leave our bubbles of denial…..

    • We are not Italy, China or Iran!
      This whole thing so far is the biggest “what if” crisis in the World History! Flu killed between 22,000-55,000 people since October 1 2019 in US according to CDC estimates and there were no mass graves reported anywhere in US!!!

13. Satmer on forest ave is packed with people I went to daven there and left as it was impossible to get any distance between people.
    Please get some achrayus to each other and take this serious.
