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

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.

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

Bannon and Jeff Kuhner are must listen too's, daily....
bttt
Are they also seeing or beginning to see correlating changes in things like cancer, autoimmune conditions, heart disease, etc. along with correlating changes in overall deaths since Israel has been made to go vaxx to the max?
R1 is stable. If 20,000 people have covid today, a couple weeks from now 20,000 people will have it (albeit they’ll be 20,000 different people).
R 0.5 is declining. If 20,000 people have covid today, a couple weeks from now 10,000 people will have it.
R 3 is tripling. If 20,000 people have covid today, a couple weeks from now 60,000 people will have it.
