The record of positive COVID-19 tests in the five boroughs shows that Borough Park, Crown Heights, Williamsburg and Midwood all have above-average positive test rates.
I'm curious to know if there is a corresponding increased death rate among this community due to a lower level of immunizations
But, then again, the Hassidam do seem to be fitter than the average American, so that make work in their favor also
It has nothing to do with immunizations. If you read about them in Israel it's just as bad if not worse. Israel just banned an entire city of them from entering/leaving. Here's a link, but it's in Hebrew. Use Google webpage translate to read it.
As to being healthier, not really as the only exercise they do is walking. They smoke like chimneys and their meals mainly consist of red meats and greasy foods. The non-religious Jews eat more healthier which is usually chicken, fish and numerous vegi dishes.
To identify which states have experienced the largest unemployment increases, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across two key metrics. These metrics compare initial unemployment claim increases for the week of March 23, 2020 to both the same week in 2019 and the first week of 2020. Below, you can see highlights from the report, along with a WalletHub Q&A.
Of course...truth is in the mind of the believer ...
It has nothing to do with being a believer or not. He said for most people that get infected, they either have no symptoms or mild symptoms and that is a FACT: greater than 80% of people with the virus does not experience anything more than a mild flu and they recover on their own.
Caronavirus isn't yet a big problem in many US states. The fake news like CNN and MSNBC run horror stories to terrify people. Unfortunately in NY city there is a problem, yet the fake news fails to mention that some states are well run and unaffected.
The other states for the most part started a bit later and they are doing far less testing, but this is while other things like hospital admissions have been spiking. Not getting a confirmed case because you have insufficient tests is not the same as not having coronavirus.

This is just strictly my guess but I think the Hasidics in those areas have large household sizes so the number rises quickly. I said it before, if one person in the household gets it, everyone else in that household will likely get it due to being indoors 24/7 with the infected person.
So what do you think is the issue with what he said there?
There is no issue but I know you want to try to make it one.
He said some people get better, regardless of whether they stay at home or go to work. He did NOT say for anyone sick to go to work. He is just explaining that most people do not even require medical care to get better, which again is absolutely 100% true.
That was his point, although the Left (including yourself) extracted that particular part without the rest of his interview for context to try to twist it.

The bigger issue might be that they weren’t taking it very seriously and the last time I had to walk through a hasidic neighborhood about two weeks ago, they were still packing in and hanging out en masse.
