[Avodah] Ultra-Orthodox suffering in COVID-19 pandemic due to sins of community

See Chulin 7b:
Rava  seems to think some suffering is not announced above

    R. Eleazar said: The blood of a bruise atones like the blood of
    a burnt-offering. Raba added: It is only the blood of a second
    bruising of the thumb of the right hand that atones, and then only
    if it happened to one who was about to do a religious act.
