Serious COVID cases will strain hospitals for weeks, senior health official warns - 31 January 2022

Health Ministry figure says medical centers will have to cut back on non-essential treatments and surgery for next three weeks to deal with expected influx

"“There will be another two or three difficult weeks in the hospitals,” the unnamed official told Channel 12 news. “I estimate that we will not pass 1,300 seriously ill patients, but the truth is that even if the number is higher we don’t at the moment have the real tools to stop such a rise and, therefore, we don’t have a red line. "

Two days they were saying "serious patients could rise to 1,150"

Now they are saying "I estimate that we will not pass 1,300 seriously ill patients" but don't really know?

You don't have the 'tools' at the moment , but the fine doctors and nurses at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem do through compassionate use.

January 27, 2022 8:23am EST - Lead clinical site Shaare Zedek Medical Center now permits the use of Tollovir™ in hospitalized COVID-19 patients on a compassionate use basis

I do like how the the unnamed official did say "at the moment". Maybe he knows something is coming shortly that starts with a "T".
