Friday March 20, 20I've Been Thinking:
As of 11am, which is 5pm just before Shabbat began in Israel, these are the most recent numbers of Coronavirus cases in Israel.
The numbers need to be divided into categories:
Most important is that as of Wednesday there are twenty testing labs, that’s eighteen more than Israel had until now.
Also since Wednesday, the Mossad successfully procured thousands of tests kits.
705 people have tested positive.
10 are in serious condition, 18 moderate condition, 271 light condition and in hospitals. 149 people are being treated at home, 58 in hotels transformed into Coronavirus facilities. 212 are awaiting decisions as to they should be treated.
15 people have been released from the hospital and are free of the virus and totally recovered – that’s an important figure.
Israel has been extremely aggressive in their approach. They are using the GPS on phones of people who tested positive. They are fining and even arresting those who violate their restrictions.
The Coronavirus numbers in Israel are going up and up. The new labs and the availability of the testing kits will automatically increase the numbers. Many, many people have the virus and are asymptomatic.
The higher numbers should not serve as a source of alarm and panic. They are a more realistic assessment of reality.
