Israel generally have something against rapids.
It's changing now with self administered tests approved and for sale at pharmacies.

From what I've seen they are approved for sale, not as proof for anything that as of now requires a PCR test.

Approved for sale as in not forbidden to sell (but advertising claim needs to be amended).

Not accepted for any purpose.

You really want to be sitting long for the test? I'd rather be in and out (the only time I would need a more comfortable for a test is if it's being done at a desktop... ;) )

If prices haven't gone up they should rebook you for free, since you could technically cancel the ticket for free, get a voucher and rebook.

Not sure if there is a correlation but I never found the Wifi on the 737 to be reliable - inexistent on half of my flights, and poor on the remaining half  :)

IINM the investment decision wasn't based on financial or business analysis, it was based on beliefs and/or politics. He then tries to make the best out of it.

If in fact the investment was based on a desire to see a return, his horizon is likely 5+ years out.   Lots to do to turn the ship around and build long-term value...
