Surprising numbers, considering the state has been isolated for months. New Zealand, take note. Zero COVID seems to be impossible.

The number of vaxxed cases is within the 10 -15% noted in other places.

I notice they are not calling these breakthrough cases ‘rare’ any more - Israel is now having somewhere around 50 - 60% of cases that have been vaxxed.

Why is it that no western country is promoting any therapeutic early treatment? Either stay home and sweat it out or treatment in the hospital, nothing in between.

They have not been isolated for months.
You are free to travel there.
Negative test before, negative test on arrival.

Did they test/treat them for influenza and pneumonia, or just let them die and call it "covid"?
