On Saturday, Israel reached, and surpassed, 1,000 deaths from the novel coronavirus. The toll, a grim reminder of the pathogen’s most ruinous consequences, is only a fraction of the eventual number of fatalities Israel may see, according to one expert. But others believe that Israel’s fate is not sealed.
Israel recorded over 420 deaths in August and there are signs the pace of fatalities could be ramping up. Even at the current pace, Israel could record its 2,000th death by the middle of November.
