Coronavirus dies out within 70 days no matter how we tackle it, claims professor

Prof Isaac Ben-Israel claims his analysis shows virus is self-limiting and peaks at 40 days before entering rapid decline

”Across the globe, debate is raging about the best way to tackle the spread of coronavirus, with countries adopting radically different approaches in the fight against the disease.

But one Israeli professor claims that all efforts will lead to the same result, because the disease is self-limiting, and largely vanishes after 70 days, with or without any interventions.

Prof Isaac Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program at Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, claims that his analysis proves Covid-19 peaks at 40 days before rapidly declining.

Major General Ben-Israel, who was also head of the Analysis and Assessment Division of the Israeli Air Force Intelligence Directorate and former chief Cybernetics adviser to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claims shutting down major economies is having devastating consequences for little gain.“

Very. From here, the US seems to be in a mess.

Unfortunately from the perspective of most of the world, we seem a mess too.

Top Israeli prof claims simple stats show virus plays itself out after 70 days

Isaac Ben-Israel, who is not a medical expert, says analysis worldwide shows new cases peaking after about 40 days, slams economic closures; leading doctor dismisses his claims

www.timesofisrael.com

Prof. Gabi Barbash, a hospital director and the former Health Ministry director general, insisted in a bitter TV exchange that Ben-Israel is mistaken, and that the death tolls would have been far higher if Israel and other countries had not taken the steps they did.
...
Barbash, speaking after Ben-Israel had left the studio, insisted that “we’re going to be living with the coronavirus for the next year.”

He added: “I strongly urge that we not let mathematicians — who know nothing about biology — determine when we lift the lockdown.”

good lord the comments section!

You’ve fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this; never read the comments section.

The past 48 hours haven’t delivered very good news from trials on potential treatments. However a lot of them are still in early stages so cross fingers so better news comes out as time goes on,

Im sure anyone living with a "key worker" is permitted a test mate regardless of if they have symptoms.

Meanwhile us peasants exhibiting numerous reported symptoms cant get one unless we are unlucky enough to need a ventilator.

Baffling how we are getting out of lockdown when the majority havent a clue if they have/had it or not.

I was joking mate, you said "binman" I said it's a load of "rubbish"

The Institute of Actuaries (of which I am a member) is now producing a weekly analysis of “excess” deaths. So far this year to 13 April there were 25,000 deaths over what would be expected, pretty much all of them since mid-March. This is for England and Wales only - and shows a significantly higher number of deaths than current reports.

There is either a significant under-reporting of Covid-19 deaths (even allowing for those outside of hospitals) or some other big cause of additional deaths in England and Wales in the past month.

Accountancy was too exciting?
