Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University, who also serves
on the research and development advisory board for Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries, plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Spain.
The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way. In the exact, same, way.
His graphs show that all countries experienced seemingly identical
coronavirus infection patterns, with the number of infected peaking in
the sixth week and rapidly subsiding by the eighth week.
The Wuhan Virus follows its own pattern, he told Mako,
an Israeli news agency. It is a fixed pattern that is not dependent on
freedom or quarantine. “There is a decline in the number of infections
even [in countries] without closures, and it is similar to the countries
with closures,” he wrote in his paper.
“Is the coronavirus expansion exponential? The answer by the
numbers is simple: no. Expansion begins exponentially but fades quickly
after about eight weeks,” Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel concluded..............
On the reasonableness of Israel’s unprecedented quarantine and closure,
he commented to the news agency, “I think it’s mass hysteria. I have no
other way to describe it. 4,500 people die each year from the flu in
Israel because of complications, so close the country because of that?
No. I don’t see a reason to do it because of a lower-risk epidemic.”......To Read More....
