Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University, who also serves on the research and development advisory board for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Spain. The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way

Virginia is following its' own pattern. Governor CoonMan's model says so.

People are going to be very angry when they find they've been harmed without good reason.

Looks like, according to this analysis, we have been subjected to the great Faucci Foul Up. (putting it mildly)

Just like I said last month: we’ve been had. Fauci and Birx are total phonies who don’t know their butts from third base. Every Democrat governor who fell for this monumental lie is a buffoon.

I cannot believe they shut this economy down based on the left's pandemic. We were supposed to all be dead a decade ago from climate overheating, Gore himself said so, made millions off his movie about it. I hope people are keeping a list of people to get rid of next election.

#2 is spot on. Too bad the only ones who will find out have known the hysteria has been cynical manipulation all along.
As edifying as this report is, it seems callous to discuss without acknowledging that a bunch of people would have died either way. Certainly fewer than have been counted under CDC's maximal-body-count reporting guidelines for cause of death, but still probably several thousand.

It is very difficult to read the underlying report, since it is not in English. Assuming the article is accurate, the US has been had by a Fauci.

As long as any errors that might be revealed were honest, I can cut them some slack. God help them if any of this was intentional BS.

Anyone with a few milligrams of intuition saw this like a giraffe in a dog kennel. The pattern of infection fits for a rapidly moving, extremely infectious, almost totally benign, selectively severe pathogen.

This is good news. But California will open whenever Gov. Gav feels like it. Because, science.

The virus apparently peaks in the sixth week, roughly 40 days, regardless of response (and assuming the professor’s hypothesis is correct).
Hmm. 40 is a recurring number in scripture indicating a time of purification; it rained 40 days; the Israelites wandered the wilderness for 40 years; Jesus fasted in the wilderness for 40 days, etc.
Just a thought.

Makes sense. The word Quarantine is based on the Latin word for 40. After about 40 days the worst was over.

There are some people who have the notion that no-one should die. of coronavirus. It's a silly and absurd notion. But some are asserting that the country should not be "re-opened" until there is not one more case of the virus. It's silly, absurd and stupid. We do everything rationally possible to keep people safe from it. We try to mitigate (oh. i'm using one of Dr. Bricks&Mortar and Dr. Falsie's favorite terms) the onslaught of any disease or accident or injury (just ask your local personal injury lawyer).
I hate to cite Jocelyn Elders, Billy Clinton's Surgeon General, but she did utter a truism: we're all gonna die from somethin' some day.
We try to do the smart things, the wise things; and we understand that life is full of hazards, we look both ways when crossing the street, take our vitamins, avoid ingesting what's harmful, don't overindulge, etc, ...and wash our hands.... Here in the USA, we live and thrive, to whatever extent our initiative drives us, in freedom, with all the risks and rewards.
Modelers and statisticians don't calculate the deleterious consequences of destroying liberty and instilling a spirit of fear.
Most Americans are not fearful, otherwise we would not have won wars, rebuilt wrecked nations (once our enemies), overcome one obstacle after another, and built the most powerful economy in history.
Just now I heard announced on a Boston talk station that Massachusetts had just passed a milestone: 1,000 people have died "from" coronavirus; here in NH, we got the word that we'd passed the 1,000 mark of... people infected... 32, that's THIRTY-TWO have died, deaths "attributed to" the virus. I'm not minimizing one death from this or anything.
At the very least, differentiate deaths from the virus from those with "co-morbidities", and restore common sense and rationality, and let's resume life as free citizens.

I don't think the model he describes holds for a big country like the U.S. where we have different outbreaks starting at different times.

Finally a researcher with well thought answers...as opposed to the arm flailing guessing going on across the planet...

Now THIS is interesting.This would mean the models, the hysteria, and the lockdowns were nothing more than media manipulation. I've had the feeling all along about this that the reactions were like trying to kill a mosquito with a sledge hammer. Yes, the virus is potentially lethal, but mainly if you have a pre-existing condition that warrants you to err on the side of caution and remain in your homes. If we learn anything from this, it should be that the media is not there to tell the truth, or even to report events. They exist only to sell a product; in this case: mass hysteria. Let the buyer beware.

This follows the "low hanging fruit" theory some presented when this started. The virus will kill the most vulnerable to it but will eventually hit a wall of those it can not kill and the infection rate will drop and the virus will fade. Also warmer temps may have an impact just like the flu. Will it be back next Fall? Maybe.

I am still going with it came from the lab in China and Democrats paid for it. It's all about the election in Nov and trying to stop it.
There was an interesting piece written about how Chinese have taken over Italy.

It was reported Fauci & Birx were the ones who lead the way for the government shut down. Don't ever let a medical person decide the outcome of an economy.

The 'fixed pattern' may imply that places would have seen their case and casualty count rise and fall with the same timing if they hadn't sheltered. But it does not also imply that the counts would have been the same. And if not sheltering had resulted in double the counts, it would be cold comfort to be told "but the counts still fell after 8 weeks both ways".

A good article with very hopeful news. The professor's findings should be very helpful in making the decisions on the reopening.
