Trump actually let Fauci scare people too much. And 90% of the scary “statistics” now appear to be wrong anyway.
Israel had been doing fine, but has had a rise in positive diagnoses (because they do obsessive testing). Israelis are not dropping dead in the streets. However, there as here, the approach has to do with politics.
This has been under debate in Israel for several weeks and was defeated a couple of weeks ago because people want to get back to work and school.
As for Europe, Spain and Italy had severe lockdowns and their death rate was higher than the US. The other countries, less so...except for GB, which now has a very low rate - but Boris Johnson has for some reason decided to shut down again for an indefinite period of time. It’s all politics.
This is nuts. I think everybody, including Trump, realizes it.

However, for what it’s worth, it has not gone away with the warmer weather as many speculated in the spring. In my local area, small town and rural, deaths and infections are still on the rise. Most deaths in 70–90 age group, but since I find myself in that age group I don’t find that comforting!
The local college which opened a couple of weeks ago has maybe 10 active cases amongst students who are now isolated in what could be called a plague dorm. Since they’re young, they’ll likely weather the storm just fine.
Does the debate split along ideological lines in Israel like it does here? I.e. leftists favoring the lockdown and conservatives generally against it?

The cultists are eating this crap with a spoon.
