The coronavirus epidemy is probably seasonal and with the coming of spring and summer it is slowly disappearing in Israel. Of course, may be it is wise measures taken by Netaniyahu and the people's obdient following of the rules. Or may be not. Anyway, while driving to my daughter's place, to take the Shkeddy to the fresh air, a radio interview revealed that the official death figures for elderly people in the last three months actually fell, and instead of excess death as registered elsewhere, we Israeli ancients are dying less. The reason is that in this three months of coronavirus, there were fewer car accidents, fewer work accidents, no elective surgeries (which tend to cause complications nd deaths) and people went less to the hospitals because it was known to be infected by the virus.
Superstitious Jews avoid voicing optimist hopes because out there the Devil is hearing everything and dying to spoil everything good. I commented three months ago in a blog that this is a seasonal flu epidemy and in May it will disappear. It was insinuated that I am an idiot. Could be. May be not. Depends.
