The current state of COVID-19 in Israel

[ExGingi]

That’s surprising with all the talk of immunity potentially dwindling after 6-12 months.

Or data suppression.

But don't worry. A positive antibody test will still not get you anywhere in Israel.

A positive antibody test performed locally exempts one from quarantine.

Except when it doesn't.

לאחר בדיקה מול המעבדות נמסר כי הבדיקה לא בוצעה ע"פ הפרוטוקול של משרד הבריאות.

Thanks. So they are issuing vaccination certificates, but no the green passport yet, afaik it will be rolled out next week.

There are 4 young pregnant women in Israel who are now in critical condition, at least some of whom had no prior comorbidities.

They keep saying this wave was/is much worse for younger people. Is this shown as well in other countries? I know in England there was conflicting reports.

[Proisrael]

Over 10,000 new cases on Monday!! This is getting out of hand very fast!

Serious cases a little down but I imagine its because the death toll rose by a similar number.

2,185,113 total people with the first shot
420,015 with the second shot

I would be hard pressed to believe that the antibody testing and the relevant data and analysis aren't deliberately supressed.

Anecdotal DP: Many people in the Mir took the free antibody test from Kupat Cholim (mostly Meuchedet) and were given negative results. (They only give negative/positive, not the level of antibodies, and you need at least 40(?) to be positive). Many of these people also took a paid antibody test through Sheba? Shamir? and got back results with levels...many had antibody levels much higher than 40. (The ones I saw were in the 70-90 range.)
I know that there are people in the hanhala (that are taking care of the bachurim, and have seen hundreds, if not thousands of test results) that do not trust a negative antibody test through the Kupot Cholim

Now they took down the link... I had a feeling it was beta testing, at best

Clalit broadens vaccination campaign to include those aged 40 and over.

All Kupot Cholims in general or just the one by Mir?

What do you mean by this?

What do you mean by this?

When you stop saying מי שברך for a sick person it could be for one of two reasons.

But why would that correlate to serious cases going down? If cases are going up in general while serious cases are trending down -  that can't be (only) because of deaths.

The drop in serious cases was 14.
The uptick in deaths R"L was 44

It could also mean (not saying it does) better treatment protocols and/or early intervention.

Seger extended another 10 days, at least

Did you read the agreement at all and what data they are dealing with?
This REAL-WORLD EPIDEMIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
dated as of January 6, 2021

Which makes it even weirder that they redacted it on the bottom of every page. (yes, I am making an assumption.)

Okay, guess I was mistaken about that. None of this shows anything at all about how effective the vaccine is for those who take it or anything else regarding these individuals. This is only about how vaccination rates affect the overall population and what vaccination rate is needed to reach herd immunity. The only information being tracked is from the overall population.

Seems that way, but this is pretty inclusive

• Additional subgroup analyses and vaccine effectiveness analyses, as agreed by the Parties

I'm no lawyer so may be reading this wrong.
Also, is it at all suspicious that the liabilities section is entirely redacted. (I presume it contains a list of things they are worried about and therefore making sure to exempt themselves explicitly.)
