Townhall: 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. In the exact, same, way. His graphs show that all countries experienced seemingly identical coronavirus infection patterns, with the number of infected peaking in the sixth week and rapidly subsiding by the eighth week.
The Wuhan Virus follows its own pattern, he told Mako, an Israeli news agency. It is a fixed pattern that is not dependent on freedom or quarantine. “There is a decline in the number of infections even [in countries] without closures, and it is similar to the countries with closures,” he wrote in his paper.
“Is the coronavirus expansion exponential? The answer by the numbers is simple: no. Expansion begins exponentially but fades quickly after about eight weeks,” Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel concluded. The reason why coronavirus follows a fixed pattern is yet unknown. “I have no explanation,” he told Mako, “There are is kinds of speculation: maybe it’s climate-related, maybe the virus has its own life cycle.”
But what about Italy and their staggering 12% mortality rate? “The health system in Italy has its own problems. It has nothing to do with coronavirus. In 2017 it also collapsed because of the flu,” Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel told the news agency. Indeed, Italy’s exceptionally high coronavirus mortality rate is eerily reminiscent of their unusually high flu mortality rates. Supportive of this theory, Germany, has low flu infection and mortality rates and similarly low coronavirus rates. MORE
New York is collapsing too – also because the health system has its own problems? Or is it because they are just labeling every death as coronavirus whether it is or ‘might be’?
I’m sure this will be spread across of headlines and top stories of the MSM to show we can stop worrying and be happy again.
That’s because Wuhan Flu is a simple fuggin flu.
Duh!
That a flu would behave in a flu-like manner shouldn’t surprise anyone.

If I’d invested in TEVA a couple decades ago instead of Pfizer I’d be rich by now.
Left Coast Dan, the rate of death will be whatever is politically advantageous to the Marxists, because Orange Man Bad.
I want to know- is this a ‘new,’ ‘novel’ corona virus that morphed naturally, or is it the result of manipulation, which would include editing and splicing? Is this man made, or an aberrant mutation? If it is man made, I’ll skip the obvious question of by who, and ask: why?
If this is man made, why was it made?
That question needs to be answered, truthfully.
The pattern suggested by this guy might actually be so. However, one must wonder what data he used for his calculation. The numbers collected by the CDC and WHO are garbage, having been falsified to display inflation. Other records might well be similar. It is possible that the pattern he has found might be reflective of the very falsification of the data itself.
cdc puts out a memo about just guessing the cause of death. Doesnt matter really how someone died. Heard this from a couple of Doctors.
Smart People. More Nobel Prizes in Science as a percentage of world population than any other group.
That “other group” in the desert, the least.
That is SCIENCE prizes
NOT
PEACE prizes Barky!
I read this article yesterday and sent it to a couple of my freaked out friends, that I had thought were conservative but because of this Chinese Lung Aids, have discovered are closet progressives, and neither one responded at all. They would also be totally on board with the post below this one. I doubt we will be getting together in the future.
It kind of strikes me that it should be easy to prove or disprove the professor’s results using his data provided that the underlying data was vetted. This would be a big story even for the progressive media. After proving it (assuming you did) then the last bad flu data should be run through the same (or similar model allowing for things like infection rates as an annual flu vaccine would likely have an effect) to see if the results would have been similar. If they were then dust off the accommodations at Guantanamo Bay because it would about to be getting a few plane loads full of guests.
