Gamzu: No more illogical virus restrictions

Government coronavirus point-man Prof. Ronni Gamzu gives a televised address in which he says that hospitals are on the cusp of crisis and may be overwhelmed. Gamzu says he has worked quickly to put together a plan.

He presents a chart showing Israel’s R-naught, how many people each carrier infects, slowly moving downward toward 1. Below that number, Israel will start to see the virus recede.

He says he is forging a “new contract, between the people and the government.”

The government needs to be more transparent, he says, referring to giving reasons for restrictions on economic activity meant to stop the virus’s spread.

“We won’t allow any more restrictions without logic. I will not allow harm to economy without a logical reason, I am responsible” he says.
