Israeli mathematician Isaac Ben-Israel
Top Israeli mathematician Isaac Ben-Israel predicted in mid-April (April 15) that the deadly COVID-19 virus peaks after around 40 days independent of the society locking down their economy or not.
Via Ned Nikolov.
The Times of Israel reported:
A prominent Israeli mathematician, analyst and former general claims simple statistical analysis demonstrates that the spread of COVID-19 peaks after about 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it.
Prof Isaac Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program in Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, told Israels Channel 12 (Hebrew) Monday night that research he conducted with a fellow professor, analyzing the growth and decline of new cases in countries around the world, showed repeatedly that theres a set pattern and the numbers speak for themselves.
While he said he supports social distancing, the widespread shuttering of economies worldwide constitutes a demonstrable error in light of those statistics. In Israels case, he noted, about 140 people normally die every day. To have shuttered much of the economy because of a virus that is killing one or two a day is a radical error that is unnecessarily costing Israel 20% of its GDP, he charged.
On April 15 The Gateway Pundit posted the graphs of the number of cases from several countries.
Today we are adding the most recent graphs a month later on the number of deaths to give a better picture of what’s happening in each country.
We looked at cases in April but countries are testing more people in May so it makes more sense to look at number of deaths today.
Here is a look at several countries battling the coronavirus.
US Cases April–

US May–

Sweden – left its economy open — did not destroy businesses in April —

Sweden deaths in May–

Spain cases in April–

Spain deaths in May – note: they actually deletes almost 2,000 deaths that they overcounted —

Brazil – economy mostly open – cases in April–

Brazil deaths May–

Germany cases April–

Germany deaths May–

Italy cases April–

Italy May deaths–

From an initial glance at the spread of coronavirus in these countries it appears Professor Ben-Israel was correct last month and is still correct.
Every country appears to reach a peak after 30-40 days and then they see the numbers drop significantly.
If this is correct Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci should be fired for pushing a colossal fraud on the American people and for destroying the US economy and millions of American lives.

The word “quarantine” comes from Italian history.
“Quaranta giomi” means forty days.
In ancient Italy when a ship arrived in port with an infection running on it the Italians made the ship stay away from the docks and no one come off the ship for forty days.
That is how we got “quarantine”.
So from ancient Italy to do today, there must be something natural to forty days when in comes to communicable infections running in a population.

RE: The word quarantine comes from Italian history.
To add to your piece of history, here are observations from the Bible...
The number 40 shows up often in the Bible. Because 40 appears so often in contexts dealing with judgment or testing, many scholars understand it to be the number of probation or trial.
This doesnt mean that 40 is entirely symbolic; it still has a literal meaning in Scripture. Forty days means forty days, but it does seem that God has chosen this number to help emphasize times of trouble and hardship.
Here are some examples of the Bibles use of the number 40 that stress the theme of testing or judgment:
In the Old Testament, when God destroyed the earth with water, He caused it to rain 40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:12).
After Moses killed the Egyptian, he fled to Midian, where he spent 40 years in the desert tending flocks (Acts 7:30). Moses was on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights (Exodus 24:18).
Moses interceded on Israels behalf for 40 days and 40 nights (Deuteronomy 9:18, 25).
The Law specified a maximum number of lashes a man could receive for a crime, setting the limit at 40 (Deuteronomy 25:3).
The Israelite spies took 40 days to spy out Canaan (Numbers 13:25).
The Israelites wandered for 40 years (Deuteronomy 8:2-5).
Before Samsons deliverance, Israel served the Philistines for 40 years (Judges 13:1).
Goliath taunted Sauls army for 40 days before David arrived to slay him (1 Samuel 17:16).
When Elijah fled from Jezebel, he traveled 40 days and 40 nights to Mt. Horeb (1 Kings 19:8).
The number 40 also appears in the prophecies of Ezekiel (4:6; 29:11-13) and Jonah (3:4).
In the New Testament, Jesus was tempted for 40 days and 40 nights (Matthew 4:2). There were 40 days between Jesus resurrection and ascension (Acts 1:3).
Whether or not the number 40 really has any significance is still debated. The Bible definitely seems to use 40 to emphasize a spiritual truth, but we must point out that the Bible nowhere specifically assigns any special meaning to the number 40.

RE: Sweden has the highest death rate in the world per 1mm population since May 1. 3-5 times higher than its neighbors Norway, Denmark, Germany, and Finland
Your chart shows a death per million for Sweden of 418, lower than 5 other countries that implemented an economy killing quarantine. How can this be the highest death rate in the world per 1mm?
The other factor to consider is reports show that a huge number of the Covid-19 related deaths in Sweden are in MUSLIM IMMIGRANT communities, that live in close quarters to each other and do not practice the same disciplined social distancing as the native Swedes.
The other 4 Scandinavian countries do not have the huge number of muslim immigrants as Sweden.
Also, the question that cannot be answered is would this death rate have been LOWER had Sweden implemented the same stringent economy killing lockdown as all the other countries?

The ancients had one thing that was natural to them that modern humans don’t. They had a long natural history in the natural world, and they always handed down the record (memory) of past observations, and added them to their observations, year after year, century after century, millennium after millennium. So much of their knowledge was acquired, by natural observation. They trusted it because they knew what they accepted about it had been observed constantly in the past by all their ancestors.
Modern humans have lost not only our connections to nature, and the ability to acquire knowledge by natural observation as opposed to “science”. Modern humans wait for their “scientists” to use “science” to discover what their ancestors knew and handed down to later generations - until we started forgetting it, replacing it with “education”.

40 days and forty nights sounds right.

Agreed! But Trump’s B.S. detector musta have had dead batteries the day Fauci told him to trigger a turn off of the entire world economy!!! When the U.S. sneezes, the entire world catches pneumonia!!!
