Israel heads to a second lockdown as coronavirus cases soar

(WaPo)

On March 18, Dr. Michael Levitt calmed Israeli radio listeners:

"I will be surprised if the number of deaths in Israel surpasses 10. There is a lot of unjustified panic in Israel. I don't believe the numbers here, everything is politics, not math. I will be surprised if number of deaths in Israel surpasses ten, and even five now with the restrictions." [1,119 Israelis have been killed at this writing.]
