What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

a lot of a lot of guys want to know in our community that that tilumi community there's plenty of illness but there's no mock locus about following doctor's orders and closing schools and social distancing and things like that could the of shiva share with us his thoughts whether there's such a thing as torah magenis and therefore so long as we learn everything will be okay versus let's say versus the the other approach i am very very disappointed and very dismayed what's happening in israel in many different societies seven hundred years ago in similar day was asked regarding pandemics we find devil here canes because i'll teach us if there's a megaphysics if there's an epidemic probably everybody knows the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic an epidemic is more localized like we've known for thousands of years a pandemic is when it goes global like covet 19. so the gemara says but we find very early sources going back 900 years that the goddard and pass can run away in their days they believed that epidemics are caused by kilkul huawei they thought there's something bad in the air so run away go elsewhere and that is the way epidemic spread because when tragedy struck and people started dying people went elsewhere and that is how they spread the virus people that were infected many of them didn't have symptoms yet and they ran away and they spread the virus so we find two approaches how are we supposed to act with an epidemic strikes so the medal says at the beginning run away if it's already rampant lock up
