ISRAEL: When you consider how much of their population is vaccinated
- 1st dose: 49.9% (+0.3)
- 2nd dose: 35.1% (+0.6)
Their case numbers are still VERY high (4,168 is equivalent to c 28k cases here)
The numbers in hospital and ICU are still high (equivalent to over 2k in ICU and c8k in hospital in the U.K.) but, as a proportion of cases, it is far lower than we are experiencing here
27 deaths in Israel is equivalent to c180 in the UK
So maybe fewer severe cases and deaths
Here is a story I posted yesterday about the decline in cases coming to a halt and the profile of hospital cases changing
🦠🦠8,489 new cases but nearly a half a million Lateral Flow tests were carried out yesterday. Higher false negative rate. They seem to be replacing PCR testing increasingly.
