Israel must immediately enter the closure, since any other situation is the abandonment of the country's residents • Only in this way will it be possible to mitigate the severe harm in the form of hundreds of additional patients • Interpretation
A full, tight and hermetic closure now is already an existential question.
It is necessary and critical to try and save hundreds of critically ill patients from their deaths, and possibly thousands.

Every day, about 30 corona patients die in Israel.
The implication of not entering a closure right now is to abandon the Israelis.
Although the closure is planned to last two weeks, chances are that in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality they will have to continue it for at least another two weeks.
All this, in parallel with the continuation of the vaccination campaign, as is now happening in the UK, which has declared a full and tough closure for seven weeks.
It is impossible and forbidden to beautify or blur the picture, as some government ministers, Knesset members, doctors and researchers try to do, if you can call them that.
These repeatedly try to disseminate false and irresponsible information as if the closure is supposedly a false political whim.
Israel is in a very difficult and very dangerous situation in accelerating infections, morbidity and mortality.
If we do not enter into a prolonged closure, Israel could reach an even more difficult situation than the first wave, to the point of the chilling data of the first wave in some parts of the world, such as Italy, France, the United Kingdom and the United States.
It is true that vaccines are the main means of eradicating and successfully dealing with the epidemic that has hit such health, economic and social hardships in Israel and around the world.
However, until vaccines can be declared to eradicate the epidemic or at least make it non-lethal and until a more sane life can be returned, it will take several more months.
First of all because there should be a very large mass of Israelis who will receive both doses of the vaccine.
It should also be remembered that despite the vaccine, there is no longer any certainty about the continuation of infection in the corona, as opposed to its protection against serious illness and death.
An inconceivable failure
In the past month, Israel has failed miserably, inconceivably, disgracefully and shockingly in dealing with the plague because of the paralysis of the government and because some of the ministers and members of the Knesset decided to disregard, just like that, the lives of Israelis.
They have made decisions that in their view will earn them public applause, but their price is already hundreds of new victims of the epidemic of that same public.
To prevent this catastrophe, Israel must immediately enter a closure, as the government has decided, including the entire education system at all ages and in all regions, all trade and most jobs.
Only in this way will it be possible to mitigate the severe, unforgivable injury of hundreds of other new serious patients and hundreds of other dead, while at the same time the state boasts and boasts its heads in the feathers of the successful operation of the corona vaccines.
The speed with which Israel galloped to a third, dangerous and deadly eruption was also caused by the recent decisions of the Corona Cabinet and the Knesset.
Some of them were irresponsible and contrary to the requirements of the Ministry of Health in exiting the second closure and in the so-called partial and stuttering entry a closure that was announced.
Cabinet ministers and some Knesset members are competing with each other in a disgraceful and disastrous competition - who will be the one to hurt the closure more.
The cabinet has so far managed to crumble, dissolve and crush the senior officials of the Ministry of Health and their justified demands to enter a full and hermetic closure in order to save hundreds of Israelis from their cruel and unforgivable deaths.
Hopefully now, even if almost too late, the government has recovered and it is doing what it had to do more than a month ago so that we can stop the health catastrophe we are already deep in.
