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

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…

Why is R at 1 a big deal?

It quantifies how contagious the disease is. If it is less than 1, it means the disease is on the way to dying out. If it is one or above, it is not dying out.

"R 2 means that the typical infected person infects two other people. Anything above 1, and cases are growing."

When Bannon and his crew were the only people taking about this in early 2020, he had on a former Mil-Wonk from Fort Drucker in this arena and stated he felt this thing would have an R of 2.6.

I don't know if Covi truly obtained an R of that, but it was enough to scare da-bajezzus out of you.

Bannon and Jeff Kuhner are must listen too's, daily....

It would be interesting to know some of their other health and actuarial data, too.

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.
