Magen David Adom, Israel's 'first responder' emergency service continues, with the Ministry of Health, to be in the vanguard of the state's valiantly successful fight against Coronavirus.
Yesterday, MDA announced via Facebook that more than 20,000 citizens had been tested for the virus while seated in their own vehicles during two round-the-clock shifts at its "test and travel" complex in Tel Aviv.
This approach has also allowed many thousands of other citizens to be checked throughout the country each day. The first, and largest testing centre was set up in Ganei Yehoshua, Tel Aviv under the management of Mickey Segal, Deputy Director of the MDA.
"About two months ago, when we were just setting up the complex, I didn't think we would reach more than twenty thousand people", said Segal.
"However, from the first moment, it was clear to us that the scope of the work would be wide and we needed to complete the task.
"We soon set up a complete system that allowed hundreds of thousands of samples to be taken every day as we worked with MDA's computing divisions, assisted by medical students, the Israel Police, firefighters and rescue teams and MDA paramedics who worked day and night to record as many samples as possible while maintaining required professional standards.
"The busy weeks at the 'Check and Travel' complex in Tel Aviv did not allow me to see much of my wife and children", said Segal. "It wasn't easy, but as an MDA man, it was clear to me that I had to do whatever it took to get the organisation to fulfill its tasks, as part of the war against the virus and for the protection of public health".
But it is now being reported that the population may be tested for either 'herd immunity' or a possible 'second wave' of the virus and that as many as 100,000 people will be tested in order to attain a result.

It's said that Shakespeare wrote King Lear during a plague year, but what about The Tempest ? Certainly the line "Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows”, spoken by someone who had been shipwrecked and found himself seeking shelter beside a sleeping monster, could well be said of Israel and her immediate neighbours in our time of Coronavirus. Most astoundingly, Qatar Airways has included Israelis in its allocation of 100,000 free flights to medical professionals worldwide. Airline CEO Akbar Al Baker said of the 'thank you' giveaway during a CNN interview that “There is no difference, no barrier in medical fields". Meanwhile, World Israel News has reported that the pandemic had brought Israeli Jews and Arabs closer together while The Times of Israel told us that three Arab Gulf states had contacted Israel seeking help in their own war against the common enemy. All of this has taken place against a background of increased Sin...
Etihad Airways - perhaps best known in the West as the sponsor of the UK's Manchester City Football Club - has now made Middle Eastern history by flying the first known direct commercial flight between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. The flight to Ben Gurion Airport yesterday (Tuesday 19 May) brought medical supplies to Palestinian Authority citizens affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. There were no passengers on board. This remarkable story along with the one I repost below unedited from the Magen David Adom emergency service endorse earlier reports that the pandemic has strengthened Arab-Israeli relations: "Magen David Adom is at سخنين: - Sakhnin (an Arab town in the Galilee that neighbours Karmiel). Against the backdrop of continuing MDA teams at the forefront of the fight against the Coronavirus, dozens of MDA youth volunteers in Sakhnin underwent lessons to improve Hebrew in order to bridge the language gaps in teamwo...
