Shalom,
Why can't you stupid fools stop spreading and catching Chinavirus. You have ruined my business and ruined my life and continue to ruin everyone's lives. Why can't you take off your shoes when you go home and immediately wash your hands and face. Why don't you dummies wear a simple mask when around people? What's wrong with you idiots? Don't you know about personal hygiene?
The page you are maintaining is highly informative "2020 coronavirus pandemic in Israel" (pl note that note Coronavirus and Pandemic are spelled with capital letters)
What would be very informative would be to breakdown the new case statistics into 2 categories: (1) for new cases which are people arrive from overseas. (It can be assumed that most of the cases currently reported are tourists or people coming back from overseas that are sick) (2) The number of new cases in Israel or in Palestine that were resident and did not come back from overseas
The number of new cases in Israel or in Palestine that were resident and did not come back from overseas is a very important number as it allows you to know whether the epidemic is spreading or under control.
If you are interested, JLM-BioCity is a forum of bioprofessionals in the Jerusalem area with plenty of ph.d.s in any area you want.
Best regards,

A comment on the "Court freeze" section
The Hebrew version of this page describes the "Court freeze" in more detail:
"בשל חוסר ההסכמה ומתוקף הצורך בנקיטת צעדים מהירים לטיפול במגפה, פעילות ממשלת המעבר כנגד התפשטות הנגיף החלה ללא פיקוח של הכנסת וללא כינוס ועדות. בתוך כך, כלפי חלק מההחלטות כגון הקפאת פעילות בתי המשפט, הייתה ביקורת מצד האופוזיציה כי המניע לכך הוא פוליטי, בשל פרסומן בשעת לילה מאוחרת, לאחר סגירת גליונות העיתונים ואי הצגתן בהודעה היומית לציבור של ראש הממשלה. ההוראה עליה חתם שר המשפטים אמיר אוחנה הייתה בת תוקף של 24 שעות וניתנה יומיים לפני פתיחת המשפט בעניינו של נתניהו.[285] ההוראה התקבלה באישור היועץ המשפטי לממשלה. החלטה קבועה בשיתוף הנהלת בתי המשפט צפויה להתקבל גם כן. ב-21 במרץ הוציאה נשיאת בית המשפט העליון אסתר חיות הודעה כי בתי המשפט פועלים במתכונת חירום והצעדים התקבלו גם על דעתה."
With the added detail the Hebrew page seems to tell a different story than the short English version:
Court freeze On 15 March, Justice Minister Amir Ohana expanded his powers and announced that non-urgent court activity would be frozen. As a result, the corruption trial of Prime Minister Netanyahu was postponed from 17 March to 24 May. The Movement for Quality Government in Israel urged the Attorney General to stay the new regulations.[32]
I guess the problem is lack of English sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.40.87 (talk) 11:27, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm editing this article numbers according MOH telegram since start of the pandemic. I see now we have numbers without a source that the user Amitsz consists about them.
for example 13/4 cases. last MOH state was at 21:00 and the data was 11586 where the data of 11809 cases came from? what is the source? also for 12/4, last MOH state was at 21:00 and the data was 11154. why we should use 11223? what is the source of this number?
I'm not gonna enter battle here but stop make my edits i guess until understanding the correct source of the data.

Are the "EJ" cases reported at corona.ps included in the Israel figures? Selfstudier (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
would it be possible to compress the timeline in graphs? in a computer screen, the first appearance is that Covid-19 is mostly gone, the graph "ends" in late March. You need to manually slide it to current, and be scared :( .
Moreover, another option would the that the default view be of the most recent data. I have no idea how to achieve either. I guess any solution to that would be valuable for every chart, thus the template, but editing those is waaaay above my paygrade YamaPlos talk 14:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
I came to this article to confirm data I had seen that seemed that Israel had so far had one of the worst upticks [chart]. So I added that section, put it within the "Exit strategy" block, but I'm not too happy. Maybe this needs to be one level up? Would another editor that is more attuned with this article please re-arrange that? and "uptick", we say in conversation, don't know, there must e a more technical word? Thank you YamaPlos talk 14:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I think there should be some information added about the compliance of the different sectors of the population in regards to the lockdown. I'd add it but I'm not really sure what I would write and where in the third wave it would go. Idan (talk) 18:54, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Vaccination for 12-16 yr-olds begins today. Also, with an average of 15 new cases per day during the past week, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein announced that, providing there isn't an escalation, the requirement to wear masks in indoor spaces will be lifted by June 15.

hi, i opened a fourth wave section due to the rising case numbers. i also added structure to the (rather wordy) page for easier navigation and clarity, using COVID-19 pandemic in the United_States as an example: there is now a Timeline section, with overarching topics (vaccinations, compliance) separated clearly from the timeline. this can be improved further, this is the place to discuss. 79.180.250.121 (talk) 20:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Another Hebrew University of Jerusalem report submitted to gov't.

Daily caseload rises to over 11,000 a few days ago, but researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem attribute that to a testing surge accompanying the start of the school year. Caution against lifting further restrictions.

The ((COVID-19 pandemic data/Israel medical cases chart)) shows just some small red stripe on the right and on the left, and has no information value in its present form. It should be removed or changed for it to show something that actually means something. I removed it twice, but it was restored with the non-argument that other articles also use similar charts.

PM says that "the gov't has completely lost control over the pandemic," cites prediction of 2-4 million infections for the 5th wave. Updated data: over 18,000 daily cases (obviously, these are the highest numbers in the pandemic's history); positivity rate at 9.5 percent; about 170 in serious condition, nearly 50 on ventilators; 6.6 million got 1st dose, 4.3 million 3rd; total number infected throughout the pandemic at 1.5 million; total deaths stand at 8,259 people.
Getting the sense that at this point the gov't is largely inclined to leave it to the almighty.
