Israel world #1 in daily COVID cases per capita
Times of Israel ^ | 01/20/2022 | Staff

Posted on 01/28/2022 5:49:59 AM PST by Jan_Sobieski

Israel is leading the world in new daily COVID-19 cases per capita, data showed Thursday.

Speaking to Channel 12 news, a top health expert advising the government cited figures from Our World in Data showing 0.6 percent of the population was testing positive per day.

The numbers comparing each country’s seven-day running average put Israel at the top, Prof. Eran Segal of The Weizmann Institute said.

But Segal noted it was likely that Israel was not truly the country with the highest infection rate. Rather, he attributed the figures to Israel being a leading country in the number of tests performed each day, relative to its population size.

Israel is followed in the highest daily cases worldwide ranking by Mongolia, Peru, Canada and Georgia.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced Thursday that mandatory quarantine for schoolchildren who were exposed to coronavirus carriers would be scrapped entirely.

According to the plan, starting next Thursday, children up to the age of 18 will no longer need to isolate after being exposed.

Instead, all students — both vaccinated and unvaccinated — will need to conduct two antigen tests a week — on Sundays and Wednesdays — and present negative results when entering educational institutions…

My goodness, that small group of unvaccinated Israelis must be double or triple or even quadruple infected! Because “pandemic of the unvaccinated” and so forth.

Classic Definition of insanity is happening right before our eyes in Israel.

One of if not the most vaccinated countries in the world, where 4 shots is now considered fully vaccinated, now has the highest infection rate and their policies have not changed but have been doubled down on.

Interesting. On his daily podcast Scott Adam's yesterday noted this and their "R" is now 1.

That is a big deal.

Tangent to this Israel has ordered 5 million doses of NovaVax to be delivered within the next 3 months. It will be interesting to see with it's built in immune booster if the NovaVax vaccine drops their R even lower.

Note this is not an endorsement of their policies in this arena.....

Can you imagine how much worse things would be if they weren’t all vaccinated?

Even the most compliant CNN watching sheep out there must feel something is wrong with all this. At least have some doubts about the magical vaccines.

--- "...Segal noted it was likely that Israel was not truly the country with the highest infection rate. Rather, he attributed the figures to Israel being a leading country in the number of tests performed each day, relative to its population size."

Keep "testing." It's what the generally-anti-Israel WHO advised in April of 2020. "Test! Test! Test!"

But what about the "official" pandemic's deaths themselves?

As of 28 January 2022, ( 8,556 "official" Covid deaths in Israel / 9,227,700 Israelis ) x 100 = 0.093 %

Less than one-hundredth of one per cent over two years since the first (and bogus) RT-PCR test was coded by Christian Drosten in Berlin, Germany, with China-supplied sequences in January 2020, two months before the "test, test, test" WHO declared an "official" pandemic.

Cease the repetitive testing, and count only the "official" deaths. Watch the pandemic's hysteria disappear.

Or continue the hysterical testing, and report cases as if deaths, and continue the hysteria. And of course buy lots of tests....

The whole country could be 20X worse each day, according to a mapping of the Pfizer study, for the original variant (which is what the vaccine continues to be for, even though it doesn’t exist anywhere in the world).

Instead of 0.6% of the country becoming positive a day, it would be 12% a day.

"Israel is leading the world in new daily COVID-19 cases per capita, data showed Thursday."

Which provides more testimony against the claimed efficacy of vaccination, at least at this stage. However, the weight of this statistic must be assessed in the light of the testing and vaccination rate, in which Israel has the 3rd highest rate of coronavirus (COVID-19) tests per country, but is now about a third of of the way down on the list of countries in vaccination rate at 65.5% in doses administered per 100 people(reporting the data for Palestine and Israel separately) - but above the US.

One of the most Covid19 vaccinated countries, and its not stopping a rise in new infections.

Wake up world, the MRna global experiment is about the come crashing down.

...he attributed the figures to Israel being a leading country in the number of tests performed each day, relative to its population size.

So yeah more fear of covid19 leads to more tests which leads to a higher "case count" which leads to more fear...completing the spiral fir those who are determined not to use their brain.

The muslims must be spreading Covid all over Israel. Why doesn’t Israel get smart and open up its meds with HCQ/Zinc Sulfate and/or Ivermectin?

“and their “R” is now 1.”

What does that mean?

R is the “reproduction rate.”
R0 means that the typical infected person infects no other people.
R 1 means that the typical infected person infects one other person.
R 2 means that the typical infected person infects two other people.
Anything above 1, and cases are growing.
At 2, they’re doubling.
At 3, they’re tripling.

It is a correlation coefficient in statistics.

Most vaccinated nation on Earth with a first-tier medical system......

Does this make sense?? Using number provided, 483,228 active cases, I still ask WTH is the definition of a case? If the criteria is ONLY testing positive, then I think we all know the number is crap. In reality a case could be anything from a positive test to being on a ventilator on deaths door and ANYWHERE in between.

I digress. So with 483,228 active cases and ONLY 2438 of them hospitalized, that would appear to equate to a 0.5% chance of a case requiring a hospital (2438/483,228) In other words, a 99.5% chance that a case is relatively harmless.
Another way to look at it, (483,228 - 2438) means that 480,790 CASES are not in the hospital.

If someone is in the unfortunate 0.5% of the total cases, there is roughly a 58% chance that they would have a condition of serious or worse. All serious and worse hospital conditions divided by total in hospital(1450/2438) So if you are in the hospital, there is a 58% chance it’s serious. This is where we should focus on efforts for treatment. According to data provided 1450 Cases out of a total of 483,228 Cases are serious or worse.

At least in Israel from data provided, if you test positive and are now designated as a case, you have a 99.5% chance of NOT going to hospital. So in other words, stay home, have chicken soup and rest. In my unprofessional opinion, a Case should and ONLY be counted if an individual is actually in the hospital. All these other “Cases” do nothing more than scare the sheep with big numbers. I thought Little Dr. Mengele suggested we STOP counting Cases a while back. Flip-flopping again??
