TITLE: Top Israeli prof claims simple stats show virus plays itself out after 70 days

[SeekAndFind]

In a study published in Hebrew on April 8 and in English on April 16, Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program at Tel Aviv University and chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, claimed that the duration of a country’s COVID-19 outbreak is set and won’t vary based on what actions it takes.

On April 19 he wrote of Israel: “It turns out that the peak of the virus’s spread has been behind us for about two weeks now, and will probably fade within two more weeks.”

On May 2, just under two weeks later, the number of newly infected people per day dropped to under 100 for the first time since late March, and has remained below that figure.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proclaimed that Israel’s coronavirus stats reflect a “major success,” but Ben-Israel disagrees, claiming that they just reflect the virus running its natural course.

He said:“This isn’t because Israel did anything special; the same thing happened in Taiwan where they had no lockdown.”

He asserted that mortality rates are unfathomable by any understood logic.

As logical as a blue State governor...

My nephew was sick with the Covid for about two weeks. Yet his live in fiance never got sick and has recently tested negative for the antibodies..........

In the 2017-18 epidemic, there were 48.8 million cases here in the U.S. yet 280 million people never caught it. Which reinforces my own theory:

Social distancing and stupid face masks just slow it down, you're either going to get it or you won't....such is the nature of viruses.

“How do they know there will be a second wave? And how do they know that it will come in the winter?”

That's the beauty of being a Libturd. You don't have to KNOW anything. You just have to SAY.

And be sure to give yourself plenty of wiggle room by using words like, "could", "might", "experts say", "models show", "studies find".

But those dictator governors still want to hang on to their power.

He may correct about the panic playing itself out in 70 days, give or take a few. However, the economic impact of “the panDEMic” will be felt for many years to come. But I’m sure we saved at least one or two lives, so Nanzi and her minions will be happy.

If former Israeli General Ben-Israel is right about SARS-CoV-2 “playing itself out,” then great! But I’d appreciate a more scientifically-based explanation like warmer weather triggering vitamin D production or something.

Note that the following FR thread indicates that flu was “playing itself out” no later than April 10th of this year, the date of the referenced article.

US flu activity slides, death toll holds steady at 24K (April 10, 2020)

And since SARS-CoV-2 has a longer incubation / infectious period than flu, I’m not surprised that infected people carried it around for a little longer.

Insights welcome.

This guy is an actual scientist! Aren’t we supposed to believe the science?

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.
