Siegal Sadetzki said Tuesday that Israeli leaders ignored her warnings and the country reopened too fast. 'The compass handling the pandemic lost its direction,' she said in her resignation letter.

."We've watched with frustration as the hourglass of possibilities has run out. On this basis I reached the conclusion that under the new conditions in which my professional opinion is not accepted — I can no longer assist with an effective response to curb the spread of the virus." Sadetzki praised Israel's nationwide lockdowns in the spring, which brought an initial wave of infections to as low as about 10 cases a day. She blamed the latest wave in large part on Israel's swift reopening of schools in May and wedding venues in June.

Now Netanyahu warns this week's new restrictions are necessary to prevent the health system from collapsing and can prevent a nationwide lockdown.

Trump withdrew US from WHO because he still believes “it’s only 15 people” and he has no one else to blame. TrumpVirus World populations need to hold their leaders accountable for such massively reprehensible mitigation actions so far.

How about just admitting that this virus could not be contained without resorting to totalitarian and ruinous tactics? Areas that had been burnt through so far (Lombardy, London, NY, Sweden) are probably the safest now
