So there is 1 simple message from this tragic figure:- Shutting Israeli skies & borders was futile & useless. So reopen Israeli skies & borders at once, and stop killing Israeli economy in addition to 4000 innocent Israelis. Wake Netanyahu before it is too late.
most of these are not from covid but with it, average age 80 with other medical conditions, guy on my block was like that, very sick man for many years died and also happened to pass a pcr test for covid, wasn’t sick with it, they called it a covid death
And how are they measuring this number? In the same corrupt and dishonest way they do in the USA?
