Anyway I will have to be in solitary confinement for at least three days, I miss school because of it. After I return from abroad I start studying The studies and maybe more. It sucks a lot.

Dima Lusky, a former air steward at El Al who was fired following the corona, flew for two weeks to Tbilisi, Georgia.
"I'll have to stay in solitary confinement for three days when I return. I'm not a professional, but I hope it will no longer be on the agenda when I return. I start working abroad, and I return to Israel every few weeks, so it can be very difficult for me.
I think we'm in a very strange vortex - every two months there's a new strain here, and I do not so much see the light at the end of the tunnel.
This is very sad.
It is very difficult to predict what will happen, and there is some fear that I will not be able to return to Israel at all.
I still believe in the current government, that they are more courageous.
"Although yesterday there was talk of closing the airport, it is a very drastic step when we have one verified person in the country or a very small number."
