will the Corona Virus be fatal?

It looks like the Corona Virus will have one definite fatality, and that is the Israeli tourism industry.

The fear of the spread of Corona is still increasing, as Europe is being affected now, and people  entering Israel are being found to have been exposed to Corona and even infected with it.

The Ministries of Health and Interior are already shutting Israel's borders to tourists from some countries (Italy was just added to the presently short list, and I think we can expect it to increase pretty quickly). They have also put out calls to Israelis to rethink any trips they have planned abroad int he near future and reconsider due to the threat of Corona exposure.

For a country that relies so heavily on tourism, if this doesn't get under control soon, it can be a fatal blow to the Israeli economy. Hopefully the coming end of winter will also bring about a decreasing number of cases, and people will be able to get back to their regularly scheduled lives...
