[Al Ahram] The Paleostinian Authority on Sunday imposed a night-time and weekend curfew on the occupied West Bank for the coming 14 days to try and rein in rising coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
 numbers.
"Attention: All riots, stone throwing, and molotov cocktailing must be done in daylight hours. That is all"
"Travel will be prohibited daily from 8:00 pm (1700 GMT) to 6:00 am in all governorates," as well as from Thursday evening to Sunday morning, Paleostinian government front man Ibrahim Melhem told a news conference.

In the addition to the general dawn-to-dusk curfew, major cities Ramallah, Hebron, Nablus and Bethlehem, will be under total lockdown until Thursday evening, he said, while travel between districts will be banned for two weeks.

Only pharmacies and bakeries will be allowed to open.

#15   None of them over 22.

So all 12,000 were in contact with someone who tested positive, or someone in their unit was, but how many are actually sick — and how many are sick enough need an ICU? In other words, how many are in quarantine as a precaution?

#11  Man dies after COVID party? The Doctor, who witnessed his final words, offered nothing about any comorbidities? Other than terminal stupidity, of course. It's more scary if we think he was a picture of health. Oh, that's right - published in the NY Times.

#8  In the Hasidic neighborhoods of Brooklyn, NY, the number of new cases seem to be going to zero so they may actually have made it to herd immunity.

I base this on the fact that NY State new cases and new deaths per day are down to the hundreds and teens respectively.

NY had riots and protests like other States beginning in early June but the case load went down not up in that State.

A 30-year-old man who believed the coronavirus was a hoax and attended a “Covid party” died after being infected with the virus, according to a Texas hospital.

The man had attended a gathering with an infected person to test whether the coronavirus was real, said Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, where the man died.

Well, unlike some, he had the courage of his convictions.
