On the morning of Nov. 1, Eldad Sitbon posted two tweets. In the first, he referred to the recent dispute in Israel whether first and second graders should wear face masks at school. More specifically, he was reacting to a post by Channel 2 News that said the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health are considering canceling the requirement for young students to wear face masks. "Despite what people explained yesterday, I still think it would be better to let go of masks," Sitbon tweeted.
A few minutes later, Sitbon posted a second tweet, this time detailing in numbers and in words the development of the coronavirus pandemic in the last 24 hours. He wrote, "649 confirmed cases since yesterday. The percentage of positive cases keeps increasing little by little … 3.1%. Contrary to May, this time we failed going under 1% of positive cases. I read yesterday the report issued by the [Home Command] Alon headquarters. To make a long story short, they have no idea what’s going on in the country, because people are not coming in to get tested, and it’s not as if this is not necessary. … My personal feeling is that the situation is really shitty and developing in a shitty direction …"
