Satmar Wedding in Brooklyn (Nov 8) had 7000 attendees in one synagogue
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Hasidic wedding in Brooklyn slipped under the radar of city officials as it crammed 7,000 maskless people into a synagogue in defiance of Governor Andrew Cuomo's coronavirus restrictions.

On November 8, crowds gathered shoulder to shoulder in the Yetev Lev temple in Williamsburg to celebrate the nuptials of Yoel Teitelbaum, grandson of Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelman
[I think they meant Aaron Teitelbaum].
To keep the celebration under wraps, the community shared information on the wedding only by word of mouth as organizers schemed to avoid it being broken up by 'the ravenous press and government officials'.
Providing a control for the experiment. Did their COVID infection rate — and rate of severe illness and deaths — go up or remain unchanged afterward?

#1 And anybody who publishes the data to be accused of anti-Semitism by "covid sceptics"?

#4 About the same number who left Egypt during the plagues there too. Not a good omen for the Pharoah Cuomo.
