“I don�t care how scared you were, there are certain lines you don�t cross.”
You almost made sense until this line.
People weren’t scared, their lives were in actual danger. There was no way to know they would get a mild case. Were they makpid not to go anywhere other than minyan so as not to expose people?
You started a hock here for fun without half of the necessary onformation.
If a man who is dying insists on fasting on Yom Kippur is he stupid or also a hero for upholding halacha?
I sometimes wonder whats worse, a moser who brings bad behavior to the authorities, or a yid who brings these stories here to enjoy machlokes.
