Fast forward now and massive amounts of them are now overflowing all the area hospitals. My cousin is a nurse and said it is to the point that some of them have even been going out of state. It has had a pretty profound effect on our system. This town has by far the most cases in the county, 825. The next closest has 325 despite both towns having a similar population.

I don't know the percentages, but a lot of the cases here in Orange County, NY are in the Hasid community in Kiryas Joel.
