An Israeli professor who made waves in early April for insisting that the coronavirus will play itself out after 70 days regardless of intervention levels says that he has been proved right, and that claims the virus will return in force for a second wave are just speculation.
“It’s very amusing that people talk about a second wave,” Isaac Ben-Israel, a prominent mathematician, chairman of Israel’s Space Agency, and a former general, told The Times of Israel. “How do they know there will be a second wave? And how do they know that it will come in the winter?” However, a public health expert disputed Ben-Israel’s claims and said he “has no clue about epidemiology and public health.”
Ben-Israel said that since he crunched figures on the pandemic some six weeks ago and publicized his theory that COVID-19 peaks after about 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days, he has been vindicated — and concluded that the “hysteria” he sees around him is “as contagious as biological diseases.”
What is more, he is now arguing that surprise over the radically different mortality rates among infected people in different countries is misplaced, and is putting forward a counterintuitive claim.
“There is a natural assumption that fewer infections means fewer deaths but it’s not correct,” he said, arguing: “There is no explainable relationship between the number of people infected and the number of people who die. The ratio between deaths and infections differs sometimes by a factor of 100 or more between different countries.”
He asserted that mortality rates are unfathomable by any understood logic.
He claimed that the duration of a country’s COVID-19 outbreak is set and won’t vary based on what actions it takes.

So YOU were the one that caused it!

With a name like Isaac-ben Israel I am certain he has his knowledge from a Higher Source.
I place my bet on him instead of Dr. Fau Xi.
Shadow ban him from Twitter.
It’s the Jooos! They have magic powers, called “logic” and “independent thinking”. Nobody else uses those, so they must be bad./s
RE: So YOU were the one that caused it!
So, why am I and all those around me still alive and well? :)
Read The Stand by Stephen King.
It’s those politicians causing the grief, we’re just responding to their un-Constitutional actions.
You can find the statistics in the Journal of Non-Essential Journalistic Media Driven Hysterics that didn't meet up to the standards of legitimate panic due to it not being an election year........
Read it twice....so what?
Watch the movie Weekend at Bernies..........
So you're suggesting that the only solution to this Covid 19 hoax is to detonate a nuclear bomb.........If you say in New York and California, then I won't argue with you.........LOL!
Same exact conclusion to pandemic. Those that got it, got it. Those that didn’t didn’t.
Satan isn’t incarnated, and there aren’t any prophetic old black ladies. The solution to this hoax is to let the virus run its coarse and give the middle finger up to leftard control freaks who are trying to exploit it. Those that get the virus either die or they don’t. Those that don’t get it, don’t get it. The Swedes had it right.
Ok, I'm all right with that, I just misunderstood your initial comment..........sorry
We're definitely on the same page......once again, I apologize.
Regardless of whether you or I may agree or disagree with actions by various governors, it is the courts who will decide what is constitutional and what is not.
Remember your history—we have been down this road before—in 1918.
The case is not as clean and simple as many here would like to claim.
