...It would be great news if Ben-Israel's conclusions are correct. I don't believe it means that we killed our vibrant economy for naught.
While it's hard to believe that the number of cases and deaths wouldn't have been higher if we had taken Sweden's approach, I don't think that's Ben-Israel's point. I think he means that regardless of the number of casualties, the cycle of the virus follows this fixed pattern, peaking at around 40 days and subsiding at 70 days.
As some are predicting, the virus may come back in the fall. So, confirming or debunking Ben-Israel's findings in the meantime would be extremely good to know, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

The conclusions in the article copied into the OP belong to Marina Medvin, not to the Israeli professor. The professor may very well have come up with what he thinks is an interesting technicality then all kinds of people come up with all kinds of incorrect assumptions based on that.
People want to hear that quarantines don't matter, that the death toll numbers are fraudulent and that this is just like the flu and so on. Basically they don't want to have to deal with reality.
