New study out of Israel: COVID-19 timeline has 0 impact re lockdown or no lockdown.

"This is happening both in countries that have closed down & in those not closed ... every country no matter its response. Decline & rise occur in same timeline." http://ch7.io/cbecc$Fw 

Prof. Ben-Israel "It's clear to us how epidemic is starting & what is causing increase. What is causing moderation is unclear. I propose we end closures immediately after current week. We will start ^ workforce from 15% to 50% and in two weeks we will reach 100 percent."

Continued:

"We are paying NIS 100 billion a month because of this closure. This also has implications for health. We will pay with more human lives with our health system in the current state."

Some context: Israel's unemployment numbers (>25%) continue to skyrocket. They are in complete lockdown. They have 1 of the most sophisticated and invasive tracking programs available. They've logged just over 100 deaths. Vast majority are ppl w preexisting conditions & elderly.

The prof quoted in article is a world renowned mathematician who is recognized for having built weapons systems that rely on extremely precise math models. If there's 1 person u should listen to about modeling, it's him. Modeling for him is a life or death, win or lose matter.
