エルサレム=高野遼
実はイスラエルでさえ「検査が足りない」という不満は根強い。大量検査をしてもなお、受けられるのは人口の3%に満たないのだ。
希望すれば検査を受けられわけではない。検査対象は、▽症状がある人▽感染者と接触した人▽帰国者▽高齢者や医療関係者――に絞っている。それでもまだ、必要な検査数には足りていないのが現実だ。
イスラエル最大の病院であるシバ病院のエヤル・レシェム医師（感染症）は「PCR検査は、感染を怖がる人に安心を与えるためのものではない」と強調する。「陽性でも治療法はなく、自宅で回復を待つのみ。偽陰性の可能性もあるので、陰性でも症状があれば隔離。完璧な検査ではなく、正しく結果を解釈することが大切だ」と語る。
日本でも医者が必要と思った検査はちゃんとできるように基準も改善し、設備も増やすべきだとは思う。
また、地域の傾向を調査するためにアトランダムに検査することも必要であろう。
しかし、大量検査をすれば、コロナの感染を制御できる、というのはちょっとずれているとは思うよ。

Israel Is Militarizing and Monetizing the COVID-19 Pandemic

Only a few days earlier, on March 16, he asked the Knesset intelligence committee to approve the use of a hitherto secret national database compiled by the Shin Bet and comprising private personal data on every Israeli citizen, both Jewish and Palestinian. In the aftermath of 9/11, Israel’s Knesset secretly assigned its domestic intelligence agency the task of creating the database, which was ostensibly meant as a counterterrorism measure.
The data included puts Edward Snowden’s alarms about the NSA’s mass surveillance to shame. It not only contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of every citizen; it also records every phone call made, and the recipient of these calls, including name and phone number. It uses geo-location to track where every citizen has traveled within the country, and it maintains records of all online activity, including internet searches.
Netanyahu bypassed legislative oversight and employed emergency executive regulations to approve the plan.
Missing were any serious discussions about how it would impact those targeted by its use. The geo-location function would track every known coronavirus victim, and not only while they had the illness. It would go back in time two weeks to track every movement of the victim: where they went, who they met. It would even identify anyone who stood within six feet of the individual for longer than twenty minutes. Those bystanders, too, would be identified and placed under quarantine, whether they had the virus or not; whether they were tested or not.
Any health policy expert will tell you that the history of pandemics, including HIV and Ebola, indicates that victims must not be criminalized or ostracized. They must be encouraged to cooperate with authorities in order to protect themselves, their family, and the public.
Given that Israeli police are now empowered to arrest anyone violating regulations and fine them $1,500, along with a six-month prison term, using the Tool as a law enforcement rather than a public health measure carries the nation very far in a direction no society should go.
In fact, Mossad officials interviewed for the TV nprogram Uvda boasted to Ilana Dayan, the host, that the agency had “stolen” the 100,000 face masks and respirators on the first shipment it brought to Israel.
Netanyahu has also directed hundreds of IDF soldiers to patrol inside Israel and enforce restrictions against movement. Armed soldiers have never walked the streets targeting Israeli Jews for violating the law. A Haaretz report claims it is the only democracy using its security services and military to track coronavirus victims.
Netanyahu is attempting to cast himself as the Indispensable Man during the health crisis. He knows that when an entire nation is living in uncertainty and mass anxiety, they are willing to sacrifice even more of their rights in return for a leader with a firm hand. This is how Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 in the midst of a deep economic crisis.
In a deft bit of dog-whistle racism, Bennett also noted that COVID-19 was spreading like wildfire through two different Israeli communities: the ultra-Orthodox and the Palestinian. He told a TV interviewer that there were “three Israels.”
Israel media reported that Palestinians protested the arrest of a resident who defied “stay-at-home” regulations.
名前、住所、電話番号、電話使用履歴、電話の受信相手、相手の電話番号、移動履歴、検索履歴すべて政府に把握され、感染が発覚すれば、患者の２メートル弱に２０分いた人たちはすべて洗い出され、隔離される。
しかも、兵士が町を巡回し、移動の自由を制限し、違反者は逮捕。
マスクや人工呼吸器は情報機関がどっかからかっぱらってきたもの。
感染拡大とマイノリティーが暗に結ぶつけられ、少数弱者は弾圧される。
不安定かつ不安が蔓延する世の中では、人々は、強硬なリーダーにしがみつこうとするが、ネタニヤフはそれを利用しており、ヒットラーはそれを利用してのし上がったのであった、と。

こっちの記事に韓国やイスラエルを含めなかったのは朝日の手落ちであろう。
