ellauri066.html on line 711: Gatherings of more than 50 were banned but Swedish schools for under-16s, restaurants, bars, gyms and hairdressers all stayed open. Tegnell said shutting borders was “ridiculous” and that there is “very little evidence” masks are effective.
ellauri066.html on line 922: It’s likely that some simple policy changes—especially shutting down visitations to nursing homes sooner, and providing more P.P.E. and testing to nursing-home staff—would have saved lives. But who knows...
ellauri150.html on line 701: Now, how do we know right from wrong? Well that's easy - just follow the law. But who's law? God's Law! So we are free to obey the law! In fact, We MUST be free, how else can God punish us, instead of shutting us in a pen, or lunatic asylum?

Do you see, Reb Aaron, there are still pious Jews in the world ; here 's a man with a daughter, and has a Scroll of the Law written for her future husband... How beautiful that is, — how virtuous...
