When the prime minister, the government, the corona cabinet and even the heads of the Ministry of Health, renounce and flee as long as they have a duty and responsibility to impose crowd restrictions, to reduce the accelerated and dangerous spread of the corona epidemic with the omicron variant - all we have left is to keep ourselves and our family And you are very much saved for your souls. "
The overarching recommendation is to avoid gatherings as much as possible, and it is time to temporarily give up shows, conferences, conventions, cinema and cultural performances.
It's time to get back as far as possible to work and study from home, through the zoom, in the workplace, in schools and academia.
It's time to stay, as much as possible, at home.
If you have to be in crowded places, including public transportation, always wear a mask.
It is also clear that it is highly recommended to get vaccinated urgently - today - or to complete the vaccine dose that you did not receive, and also to vaccinate your children.

Irresponsibly, the government decided to impose all responsibility on the public, without itself taking and accepting the responsibility to guide, advise and restrict the public to reduce and slow the spread of the micron in Israel, and try to reduce the number of difficult and newly verified patients. The public and medical interest should have been to impose crowd restrictions and return to distance learning and work, but unfortunately, today the prime minister does not have the political power within his government to do so, and there are not enough health ministry officials determined to fight for our health.
As revealed in "Israel Today" a week ago, according to the scenario presented to senior Israeli health officials on Thursday, if the Omicron variant spreads in Israel at a rate it has already begun to spread in some countries, such as Britain, Denmark and New York - then Israel may arrive in a few weeks Up to about 90,000 new verified people a day, and about 4 million Israelis infected with Omicron. According to the scenario, there is indeed "research evidence for a certain decrease in variant violence, but a slight decrease, relative to the expected increase in infections, which is three to four times faster, and possibly even more than we have known so far", due to "increased ability to infect an immunized population."
According to the scenario, if the accelerated spread of the new variant does occur, there may be a collapse of hospitalization services in hospitals in the country due to morbidity and hospitalizations to an extent that has not been the case in Israel so far;
Widespread morbidity in nursing homes and nursing homes;
Mass adhesions and isolations for teachers and students in the education system "in an unprecedented way";
And widespread adhesions and isolations in the defense system and in government and government institutions.
Senior health officials have been warned that a deployment that relies solely on the current index of hospital numbers is difficult in hospitals, leaving no time to adequately deploy the state and health care system in relation to the severity of the epidemic.

It was expected that in such a scenario, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz and his chiefs of staff would require the Prime Minister and the government to impose significant (and no, not closed) crowd restrictions to slow the spread of the corona.
But Israel is in fact conducting itself in a scandalous policy - or non-policy, which means mass contagion and whatever it is.
Although this is an undeclared policy, it is one that exists in practice and is very dangerous, an irresponsibility that indicates a governmental, moral, public and medical bankruptcy.
One of the main reasons the government is unwilling to impose any restrictions is because of the wind, which is on the verge of corona denial and opposition to vaccines by some government ministers, and because of the breach of the government's public obligation to pay compensation to Corona victims of business, culture, sports and more.
When the government does not impose any restriction, it can always say that it is not willing and does not have to pay compensation, and whatever the medical health and human price may be.
Take care of yourself - for the first time since the outbreak of the plague, no one will do it for you.
