I'm from Elizabeth, NJ. Here and right next door in hillside we got a whole lot of Jews. You see the hasidics out on Saturday walking back and forth to the synagogue. And I know for a fact that the college age ones go to Yeshiva University in NYC. I be on the train with them. If the two yeshivas here close, I know something is up. And the damn pay wall for The Wall Street Journal won't let me read the article, but in the search results it says that the Jewish Educational Center in Elizabeth did warn its students.

Rabbis said the connectedness of their community is a great strength, but when a contagious illness strikes, the vast network of links among families can make it especially hard to control infection.
“When you’re in a tightknit kind of society, there’s lots of opportunities for interaction,” said Rabbi Yonah Berman at YCT Rabbinical School, in the Bronx’s Riverdale section, which has been affected. “When people are told to step back from that interaction, that’s harder than it would be in communities where individuals keep more to themselves.”
Rabbis throughout the New York City area are adjusting the customs of a traditional Jewish culture as they tried to halt the escalation of illness.
They sent congregations a range of warnings: Please don’t kiss the Torah or mezuzah, a small scroll in a case attached to the doorway of many homes. Please don’t come to services or ritual baths if you feel any symptoms. And please don’t reach out to shake hands lest someone feel obliged to reciprocate.
A Westchester attorney became the second person in New York to test positive for the novel coronavirus on Tuesday. His wife, son and daughter were diagnosed with it as well, state officials said. Only the attorney is hospitalized in serious condition. His family is in quarantine at home in New Rochelle. A neighbor and friends—five people in a local family—also tested positive for the virus, officials said.
As of Thursday, a total of 22 people in New York had the virus, according to state officials.
After the attorney was diagnosed, his synagogue, Young Israel of New Rochelle, said it was halting services through Sunday because of potential exposure tied to him. Further, county health officials said people who attended services there on Feb. 22, and a funeral and a bat mitzvah on Feb. 23, must self-quarantine until at least Sunday.
Samuel Heilman, a Queens College professor of sociology quarantined after going to the Feb. 23 funeral, said hundreds of mourners attended the funeral because it was for a founder of the synagogue.
Many congregants “are neighbors and friends, and live within walking distance,” he said, and after weekly religious services they have a reception. “Everyone is eating at the same time, talking and touching each other,” he said. “All of those things can increase the likelihood of transfer.”
Westchester County officials alerted residents about these quarantine rules quickly through email blasts, social media, rabbis and school leaders.
State and county officials said they were working together to identify the universe of people who might have been exposed to individuals known to have coronavirus.
This is the first instance of community spread in New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that such a case could have happened anywhere—“and it will.”
The governor called the case “one of the more complicated situations that we’ve come across because of the number of interconnections that this family has presented.”
Each infected person is being investigated in an attempt to limit the number of additional infections. The governor said people in self-isolation are being contacted by the county, state, schools or other private organizations.
The school attended by the daughter of the attorney, SAR High School, said it would remain closed until Wednesday, and its lower school, SAR Academy, will reopen Monday. Some classes were held online.
Yeshiva University, where the attorney’s son is a student, has canceled classes and events until after March 10.
Young Israel synagogue of New Rochelle, N.Y., where the New Rochelle family who contracted Covid-19 are congregants and where many people have been quarantined.
Rabbi Reuven Fink of Young Israel of New Rochelle said in an email to his congregation that obeying the quarantine order is a “sacred obligation.”
The rabbi explained practices that could shift. For example, he said people who need to say Kaddish, a mourner’s prayer by a quorum of 10 men, could do it after the quarantine is lifted.
Hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Jews live in New York City, Westchester and Long Island’s Suffolk and Nassau counties, according to experts. Many travel for events.
The Jewish Educational Center in Elizabeth, N.J., alerted families Wednesday night that some members of the Elizabeth Jewish community who attended the New Rochelle bat mitzvah last month were in self-quarantine, and none had shown signs of illness.
Three sisters were sent home Wednesday from Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore, a private school, because they went to a March 1 bat mitzvah in White Plains, N.Y., attended by one of the New Rochelle residents who tested positive, school officials said. They said the girls showed no symptoms and are in quarantine.

The virus hit shortly before Purim, a holiday commemorating the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia (aka, Iran
). It will be celebrated next week, on Monday night and Tuesday, when families often visit dozens of homes to drop off gifts of food.
Several rabbis suggested families scale back such plans.

India? No not at all. Less than 1%. Whereas the US is like 51%. None of the considered “third world extreme poverty” nations are having outbreaks like that. Neither are black nations. I think there’s only black patient but he recovered very quickly .
Hm.
Yikes. Was the patient one of the two people that came back from Phoenix and was announced as being infected last night?
Btw I noticed that most grocery and big box stores besides Costco have plenty of supplies if you need to stock up on stuff.
It's a common virus that's been listed on the back of your Lysol cans for years. This "outbreak" is just showing how filthy some people are. No way a common cold should have the world on lockdown like this.
not sure public health will announce it at 1230
Trying to get out of here before news stations converge
