1/ Incoming Chair of Microbio & Immun, Tel Aviv U: “History will judge the hysteria” Sweden correct, draconian lockdowns wrong, & caused “ongoing destruction” & “inability to admit this mistake, despite epidemic’s small mortality numbers, is outrageous” http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/285341
2/ "total # of coronavirus deaths does not exceed 0.1% of total population in any country, & death rate from C19 is < 0.01% of the total world population, meaning that 99.99% of the world's population so far has survived the epidemic and the virus is negligibly lethal"
3/ "smart behavior would be opposite of what we do today; Populations not at risk should become infected & create chains of immunity, which will protect the sick and the elderly. We are currently working for sweeping social distancing, which prevents such differential immunity"
4/ "I would open up the whole education system, because the vast majority is made up of people who are not at risk. Of course a solution needs to be found for teachers suffering from diabetes or other diseases,but I see no reason to prevent activities that encourage the economy"
5/ Opening schools "allows parents to go to work," & "also lowers mortality in the long run. I would also ask children and young people to take off their masks. Of course, it is impossible to force a child to take off a mask, but proper information will do the job."
6/ "I would call on at-risk populations, our parents and people with background illnesses, to avoid social gatherings in the coming months until we reach the appropriate immune depth. It is possible and desirable to recommend at-risk populations to wear masks"
