The IDF Chief of General Staff sent the troops out for a major training session on the southern border and said it is necessary and worthwhile even to the price of 1000 infected soldiers. From our perspective, this is the same thing. Learning Torah is urgent just as preparing for war is. This is a value that is important to us. I understand why the secular don't understand this, but we are not martyrs trying to infect the entire country with Corona. We just want to learn Torah
-- Yankie Kanievsky, grandson and right hand man of Rav Chaim Kanievsky, in rare interview with Yediot (behind a paywall)
