we’ve got 2 weeks of lockdown for sure, and maybe a bit more. People around here blame the weddings and schools in the religious sector and the Arab sector and say that if Bibi wasn’t so scared of losing their vote, we could have had a partial lockdown of these areas alone. Had we not had agreements with Dubai, we might not have let people go in and out of the airport without testing. The number of people who came back from Dubai with Corona was very significant. Even more significant is the fact that the lockdown has enabled a postponement of the trial of Bibi. It is pretty clear that the lockdown is the result of this final factor and the government easily led us to this. We’ve been in such isolation anyway, so it’s hard to see much of a difference. But the number of unemployed, the number of businesses that have closed, the number of people in financial ruin, has been so high and the current situation has finished them off.
