https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi-arr ... d=69884846A Brooklyn man who allegedly coughed on FBI agents and told them he had novel coronavirus, after the agents said they had confronted him about hoarding and selling medical equipment, has been arrested, according to the Justice Department.
Prosecutors said 43-year-old Baruch Feldheim sought to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis and equipment shortages at New York's hospitals to make medical workers pay inflated prices for surgical masks, medical gowns and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

I am seriously worried here due to the fact that NY is in dire need of these. This man was part of the Hasidim community. We have has several instances all of NY & parts of NJ. They are gathering by the hundreds for events and burials. It is all over FB. People are starting to loose their shit over it. There communities have 10 times the positive cases than others. They had to send the police to shut down a school. I just wish they would follow the rules. Otherwise I can see people getting frustrated with it.

They have been slow to follow the rules in Brooklyn too. I don’t know why they would want to put their whole group in danger.Lexy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:48 pmI am seriously worried here due to the fact that NY is in dire need of these.

That's the same group that caused the "measles apocalypse" last year that brought all the new vaccine legislation, isn't it?Lexy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:48 pmI am seriously worried here due to the fact that NY is in dire need of these.

I don't understand it either. They live in a small area and have the highest positive numbers in Orange, and Rockland counties. Lakewood NJ is the same. Then they go shopping and it just keeps spreading. I saw a video from Brooklyn where there was a very large crowd but the police did nothing. I don't get it. Cuomo closes playgrounds but allows over 100 people at a cemetery! SMHLemons wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 12:24 amThey have been slow to follow the rules in Brooklyn too.
