The saga of the appointment of the National Commissioner to Corona ended tonight (Thursday) at a press conference that took place in an almost festive atmosphere when the appointment of Prof. Roni Gamzo was announced. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein praised Prof. Gamzo as the director of the Ministry of Health and Ichilov Hospital. The Prime Minister, in a personal and very unusual move at such events, even noted Gamzo’s coping with the severe cancer that struck him, about which he himself spoke publicly and widely.

Netanyahu noted that Prof. Gamzo will be responsible only for the inspections, investigations and isolations, but now there is no doubt that Prof. Gamzo is actually in charge of Israel's coronation, over Health Minister Edelstein and over the ministry's director general, Prof. Hezi Levy, and that he was not Less than historic - to get Israel out of the second wave of the plague and bring it to life in the shadow of the corona until they find a vaccine and a cure.
Prof. Gamzo spoke directly and directly to the public yesterday and seems to be trying to fix the public vacuum and awareness vacuum in which the Ministry of Health has failed miserably in recent weeks. Gamzo spoke directly focused, clear and excellent to the public at eye level, treating him, us, as a collective that now has a national common mission to reduce the spread of the corona to avoid new frameworks and restrictions, and was certainly a very good start to his new national role.
Prof. Gamzo also noted that 702 patients are already hospitalized in the hospitals, of which 302 are already seriously ill, with 83 of them breathing. To this must be added the continuous increase in the number of deaths to as many as 440 dead according to the data. In order to moderate the increase in the number of severely respirated and dead patients, the system of investigative tests and isolations must be improved as soon as possible, but also, if necessary, strict restrictions must be taken to the point of closure, and Prof. Gamzo knows this. Even though he has scattered in press interviews in the past month statements that some were not always serious enough and some were part of the not always responsible enough explanatory line led by Ichilov Hospital under the management of Gamzo itself.
It is clear that restrictions and closures have a very difficult general and social cost, but even a significant increase in the most difficult patients has a very large social, moral and economic cost, and here the question arises how Prof. Gamzo will manage to manipulate this in the face of political controversy and medical criticism leveled against the Ministry of Health. Impose restrictions and closures. Herein also lies the main test of Prof. Gamzo who, while in a hurry and promises that closure will be taken only as a last resort, can very much hope that he remembers and knows that closure is better than, God forbid, reaching a shocking catastrophe of thousands of dead as in Italy, Sweden, Italy, Spain, England and countries United States.
Gamzo also knows that most serious experts and medical directors in Israel and around the world understand that the corona is very dangerous, and that vigorous and painful steps must be taken to reduce its harm to the public, but there are still a handful of doctors and executives in Israel who deceive and endanger the public. "And in general" there was not even a first wave of Corona here. "
The cumulative impact of the Corona deniers cult is devastating and really dangerous to public health and well-being, and Prof. Gamzo must take care to act in a rigid and unequivocal manner, even if some of them are sometimes from the Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, which he himself runs.
