Why did we go lockdown again?: Top Israeli Mathematician Claims COVID-19 Peaks After 40 Days With or Without Economic Lockdowns

I think this is pivotal information that's not being reported in the mainstream media.
  I'm thinking the lockdown could have been avoided or a much different path like herd immunity like being done in Sweden.  I've never believed the 2.5 million figure the so-called models predicted.  

Gateway Pundit reports top Israeli mathematician Isaac Ben-Israel claims the deadly COVID-19 virus peaks after around 40 days independent of the society locking down their economy or not.

A leading Israeli math Prof. compared the evolution of #COVID19 epidemics in different countries and found that the virus follows the same pattern regardless of the mitigation measurements adopted by Governments, i.e. an economic lockdown has NO effect!https://t.co/Dv2nh9hNv5

The Times of Israel reported:

A prominent Israeli mathematician, analyst and former general claims simple statistical analysis demonstrates that the spread of COVID-19 peaks after about 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days — no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it.

Prof Isaac Ben-Israel, head of the Security Studies program in Tel Aviv University and the chairman of the National Council for Research and Development, told Israel’s Channel 12 (Hebrew) Monday night that research he conducted with a fellow professor, analyzing the growth and decline of new cases in countries around the world, showed repeatedly that “there’s a set pattern” and “the numbers speak for themselves.”
