Enough is enough. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo needs to IMMEDIATELY lift his pharmacy ban that is forcing New Yorkers stricken by the coronavirus into an already overburdened hospital system to get the potentially life-saving drug hydroxychloroquine.

Because of an executive order issued by the Democratic governor, any new prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine must go through the already overrun hospital system. This makes no sense.

To Our Wonderful Ainiklach,
The two of us will miss being with you at the Seder this year. Being with you is the main joy of our Seder. We always love being with you.
We are asking each of you a favor: Please choose a question and answer about the Haggadah, or a Dvar Torah on the Haggadah and send it to us by regular mail or by e-mail. It could be a Dvar Torah from school or from a Haggadah at home. Or something from your parents.
Send it to us, and we will read it at the Seder, be’ezras Hashem. If you can, send one for each Seder. And send it to your other grandparents, as well.
After we read your devar Torah, we will pretend that you hid the Afikomen, and on Chol Hamoed, you can tell us what you would like for it.

Dear Editor,
I am writing this to all the people who have ruined my Yom Tov – and a lot more.
My wife and our five kids were supposed to go to my parents. We’ve never made Pesach and really cannot. Then someone decided that we can’t go because of the virus. Now I have to make my own Pesach, in my dinky little apartment, with 5 kids. I did a shopping and I’m out $1,500 that I don’t have, and we still didn’t get all the things we need. I don’t have the money. And I don’t have the wherewithal to make Pesach. 
Social distancing rules would allow me to go away – legally, medically, everything – but some people are now making up rules and imposing them on everyone and they’ve ruined it for us.

I spent my afternoon going bedside to bedside saying viduy with members of our community.
This virus is dangerous. What is happening here in our city is scary. People are dying. Our community is dying.

I’m going to start by apologizing to the people of Lakewood. In vetting a story, I screwed up yesterday. There were many reasons the tweets went out, but the responsibility is ultimately with me. It’s my account. I have a brand to protect. I regret it. I’m sorry for any pain or distrust the tweets created for residents who saw it. Mistakes were made.
Since this played out over twitter the last 24 hours, you here on facebook may not be aware of what happened. So here’s the background:
At 7pm yesterday from Newark, another anchor read a story about Toms River police pulling over a Lakewood school bus. Toms River police were working under the suspicion that a school in Lakewood was still operating and the bus was dropping off kids.

As the head of Misaskim, I am on the front lines in dealing with the multitude of tragedies in recent days. Misaskim has been inundated with calls and emergencies. With an unprecedented amount of niftarim in such a short period of time – and dozens of young, innocent yesomim added to our list – it has been a very tough week at Misaskim.
Misaskim’s mission is to alleviate tragedies with compassion – which is ever more important at a time when the traditional sense of shivah is not fulfilled. In addition to ensuring kavod hameis, each niftar has a family that he or she leaves behind, who need comforting in such trying times.

Faith, Not Fear

By Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz
Time has stopped. A giant hold button has been pressed and everything has paused. Everything that was so important a couple of weeks ago has receded from our collective memories as we concentrate on getting through the day safely.
Pesach, the chag hageulah, is around the corner, yet it feels so far away. Never in our lives did we feel so lost and lonely, pining for redemption. We sit by ourselves, learn by ourselves, and daven by ourselves, lost in thought all alone.

Dear Editor@Matzav.com,
The financial effects of the Coronavirus have been detrimental to many in our community. Earlier today my office sent out an email detailing the stimulus package passed by Congress this week. Although not all details are clear one aspect of the bill is a paid sick leave. The way this will work is as follows (this is purely based on my current understanding as all the details have not been hammered out):
The company must continue to pay the employee for 2 weeks at their full salary.
If necessary they will continue to pay the employee for up to 10 more weeks at 2/3 of their salary.

Our Nisayon

By Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz
People are confounded. They don’t know what they should be thinking now. As coronavirus spreads, the world panics hysterically. Thankfully, so far, only a minimal number of people have been afflicted. Every person’s health is important, and every life is precious, but from the international anxiety, you would think that many millions have contracted the disease and died.
