Ministry draws charges of fear-mongering for raising virus alarms
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 12 news reports that Health Ministry officials are warning that a second wave could hit Israel like a ton of bricks, leaving the country gasping for air and some 5,000 people on ventilators overwhelming the health system.
The channel quotes an unnamed minister pushing back at the ministry for what they claim is fear-mongering, noting similar predictions made as the pandemic began to ramp up in March and April.
“This is an unending campaign of fear. There’s no need to go to extremes to show that we need to prepare,” the minister is quoted saying.
