אפס פחדן קילל את אשתי ואת חמתי המנוחה. אותו אפס, מקווה מאוד שמשטרת ישראל תשים את ידה עליו בהקדם.
אני רוצה להתייחס לראש הוועדה, שלא מצא לנכון להפסיק את הדיון, למצוא את הדובר, לסלק אותו מהדיון ולהגן על עובד ציבור. תעודת עניות ובושה לכנסת, לועדת החוקה ולמפלגת העבודה.

On the right is a #COVID19 infected lung taken from a 20 year old who had a double lung transplant.

The extent and magnitude of damage is severe.

Excellent article in @wsj today. A tale of two approaches: early strict lockdown vs. looser, later restrictions. Dramatic divergence in number of new #COVID19 cases. #ActNow #SocialDistance #CancelEverything #SaveLives

FI was 3 or < for over 25% of studies referenced in 2018 @escardio Guidelines for Revascularization & @ACCinTouch /@AHAScience Guidelines for Stable IHD (in those trials changing as few as 3 pts or < would be enough to move P value from + (<0.05)to -(>0.05)https://t.co/dOBcNJ9TxD
