The current state of COVID-19 in Israel

[Lurker]

You seem to have predicted that they will be worse. Why?

Can't speak for PG, but one factor that comes to mind is the kids. They make up a larger percentage of the population in Israel than the UK.

[ExGingi]

The evolution of (politicized) science. Now antibody tests are what it's all about.

Israir offering $180 discount to whoever gets a jab between August 8th and August 14th (1st, 2nd or 3rd dose)

Stupid, considering even vaccinated travelers can bring COVID into Israel. No?

*6,275* cases in Israel yesterday. Yikes.
394 in serious condition.
578k with the third dose.
4.84% positive.
150k tests yesterday. I think this is a new record.
16 deaths two days ago.
536 active cases now in Bnei Brak.

[Moshe123]

This is two thirds to the peak of the September wave in the case count department, with vaccines...

[Moshe123]

659 מאושפזים. 393 חולים במצב קשה 63% מחוסנים 3% מחלימים ו1% מחלימים מחוסנים

[Moshe123]

מתוכם 641 חרדים! 303 ערבים.

Charedim up to 10% of the cases and rising, after not being much of a factor until now.

[Moshe123]

תוצאות ראשונות מפיילוט הבדיקות הסרולוגיות בחברה החרדית.

תוצאות ראשוניות מפיילוט הבדיקות הסרולוגיות בבתי הספר החרדים. על פי התוצאות הראשוניות כמעט אחד מכל ארבעה ילדים נחשף לקורונה. 24.2% מהתלמידים כבר נחשפו לקורונה. 110 תלמידים נחשפו לנגיף זאת מתוך 454 בדיקות שהתבצעו בעיר אלעד

You'd have thought it's much higher.

Charedim up to 10% of the cases and rising, after not being much of a factor until now.

And despite this, I received a recorded phone call, saying that since the infection rate is so high, especially in the chareidi sector, people returning to schools, kollelim etc must be careful about all covid rules.

[Moshe123]

620k with the third dose in Israel.

2,942 cases so far today with two more updates to go.

388 in serious condition.

4.5% positive.

Same numbers now. Did they miss an update?

The UK drop is a mystery. אין לך בו אלא חידושו.

[PlatinumGuy]

Can't speak for PG, but one factor that comes to mind is the kids. They make up a larger percentage of the population in Israel than the UK.

Population density and quarantine compliance as well.

[Moshe123]

Numbers continue to worsen. But one perspective that we shouldn't forget. Israel's positive rate is still less than a THIRD of that in the US.

The share of daily COVID-19 tests that are positive in the United States has risen from 1.8% in mid-June, to 15.2% at the end of last week. https://t.co/DWve1DBp7Y

Way worse than in Israel.

5,755 מאומתים חדשים לנגיף הקורונה התגלו ביממה האחרונה, כך מעדכן הבוקר (רביעי) משרד הבריאות.
זאת מתוך 127,010 נבדקים לגילוי הנגיף, בכך אחוז החיוביים עומד הבוקר על 4.59%.

It wasn't a Monday fluke.

מקרב הנדבקים החדשים, 9% מהם - 511 נדבקים חדשים, בני המגזר החרדי; 5% מהמגזר הערבי, ו-84% מהמגזר הכללי. בפילוח שבועי, 7% מהנדבקים החדשים בני המגזר החרדי.

במשרד הבריאות מדגישים כי "עקב מספר גבוה של בדיקות, מספר הבדיקות של אתמול ימשיך להתעדכן במהלך היום וישוקף בפרסום הערב".

עד כה התחסנו במנה השלישית של החיסון - 654,051 בני אדם. במנה הראשונה התחסנו - 5,822,097 איש ואילו 5,403,357 קיבלו את המנה השנייה של החיסון.

And another 11 deaths so far reported for yesterday.

The UK drop is a mystery. אין לך בו אלא חידושו.

It will drop in Israel soon enough. Every wave broke at some point in every country.

[AsherO]

It will drop in Israel soon enough. Every wave broke at some point in every country.

It’s anyone’s guess how long and what measures it’ll take.

[PlatinumGuy]

It will drop in Israel soon enough. Every wave broke at some point in every country.

With behavior changes, although those will for sure happen in Israel at some point.
