    If this situation gets any worse, all the rabbonin in BP should cancel all activities at the yeshivot and kollels and tell their followers to daven at home. Its much more important to prevent a further outbreak of the flu than to come to shul to daven or to the bes medrash to learn. You can do that at home.
