Ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Israel's COVID infection rate hits 2-week low
2021-09-07
[YNet] - The Health Ministry said 5,810 people tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. After more than 115,000 tests had been conducted, the infection rate now stands at 5.31% - the lowest it has been since August 19.
It's a huge advantage when dealing with a pandemic does not become mixed with ideological conflicts like it did in certain countries.
...The Coronavirus National Information and Knowledge Center, however, said that 689 patients are currently being treated in hospitals due to complications from the virus.

The center, which is part of the IDF's intelligence unit, also said that 49.9% of newly diagnosed are under the age of 19, some 30.2% are between the ages of 20 and 39, 15.1% are aged 40-59 and only 4.5% are aged 60 and over.
Congratulations, guys.

#18  You Americans need to STFU and listen to you furriner betters who have their thumb on America's pulse, right?

#17  Colds and flu have natural cycles related to when people crowd together inside instead of spreading out outside in the fresh air and sunshine as well as developing herd immunity stuff over time, so it seems to me that what we are seeing with Covid-19 is the emergent summation of both cycles. Add vaccination, which appears to reduce the virulence of the response in the more susceptible without completely reducing infectious spread, coupled with some overexcitement on the diagnostic side, especially in the U.S....

#16  Would somebody explain to this paragon of the American Educational System the difference between Israel & USA. Or Naftali Bennett and American "conservatives"?

#15  That's why positive tests in Israel crested at 8% instead of 18%.

The left's 'malpractice insurance.' No matter how badly they f^ck up, they just claim it would have been so much worse.

#14  It's no use Angstrom.

Of course you are right. But I'm going to keep it up anyway. The left's 'solutions' to COVID are worse than the disease, and I'm going to keep saying so.

#13  ^^^ or 800% ;-)

#11  ^Yes, they do. Virus doesn't change its behavior people do - once the news are full of morbidity/mortality stats they start wearing masks and washing hands. And nowadays, immunizing their kids & getting a booster for themselves.

#10  grom, the waves crest everywhere, even in South Dakota, and there is little correlation to our intervention. (There may be, and probably is, some effect of what we do, but it is not the primary cause of the 'waves.')

#9  It's no use Angstrom. Resistance to the 'Wet Market' cover story is futile. Fuchi's Rabbanite-like commitment to Chinese Wuhan denials really should be examined more closely.

#8  Infection waves don't crest by themselves

That is exactly what they do.

#6  /\ Infection waves don't crest by themselves - it's the actions of people who turn it around.

....in Wuhan, China who engineered the 'gain of function' protocols.

#4  So the current wave has crested and Israel's per capita new infection rate is down to only 10% higher than that of the US?
