No, actually he didn’t. He never does.

the only issue that will be discussed will be Biden's illness.

So, I guess it is going to be 2 weeks open then 2 weeks closed for the rest of our lives. In 2070, the American economy will be 2 weeks open, spike, 2 weeks closed, dip, 2 weeks open -- over and over again for the rest of our lives.

Swell.

Israel has the same issue as NY has with one group being exactly the same in addition to a non-Jewish part of Israel doing the same thing. They were initially going to lock down 40 hot spot towns which not only has started a day early has been extended to three weeks covering all of Israel.

No, they were just heavily influenced by the liberal American media. Just like they had the whole world believing George Floyd was a saint.

The Israelis might be used to more restrain when necessary, and likely to have allegiance to follow their government when a mandate or lockdown is implemented in the nation's best interest.

They are used to a less free lifestyle. Mandatory conscription to join the military. Israel's flag airline, El Al, doesn't fly on religious holidays. So, maybe a 3 week lockdown won't be viewed as a big deal over there.

As per covid, major cities in India had much more extensive restrictive lockdowns as well than the US.

If COVID spread across the US were exactly the same as in NYC where one has population hotspots that refuse to distance and refuse to wear masks, would you say the same thing?

It only wasn't during summer since Republican governors relented to antebellum rather than lack of self restraint in wearing masks.

And, they’re tightening restrictions again:

“Israel is set to tighten its second nationwide coronavirus lockdown, with the prime minister warning that the country is at "the edge of the abyss".
The new measures, which parliament must approve, would see more workplaces close and movement restricted further.
Synagogues would only be able to open for small groups next week for Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day, and the size of protests would be limited.
The move came after the daily number of new Covid-19 cases exceeded 8,000.”

Why is it a story, specifically about Israel (those evil Joos), when dozens of countries are having the same struggles?
