"schools--not restaurants or gyms--turned out to be [Israel's] worst mega-infectors"

[kpete]

Welp—Israeli public-health officials are blaming the decision to reopen schools in May for helping fuel new wave of #covid19 infections. Surge followed outbreaks in schools that had infected at least 1,335 students and 691 staff since the schools reopened.

All this may sound familiar to Americans in the many states where the virus infections are now spiking. But … it gets worse.

During the six wasted weeks, the period singled out by Sadetzki, schools were chaotically reopened and then, as infections soared, re-shuttered. Parents were unable to foresee reentering the workforce. The public was instructed to wear masks—but no system of enforcement was put into place. The lists of permitted and prohibited activities shifted daily, with little or no explanation. While Netanyahu actively pursued his (since scuttled) dream of annexing significant parts of the occupied West Bank, the number of Israelis diagnosed with COVID-19 multiplied by 499 percent.
