Two interesting things:
Professor Yitzhak Ben Israel of Tel Aviv University, ...
There's this ... but also continuing:
... who also serves on the research and development advisory board for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, plotted the rates of new coronavirus infections of the U.S., U.K., Sweden, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Spain. The numbers told a shocking story: irrespective of whether the country quarantined like Israel, or went about business as usual like Sweden, coronavirus peaked and subsided in the exact same way.
In other words, with or without any contact the virus seems to spread. One reasonable explanation is that there is no virus and that the testing for it is positive regardless of any virus.

I'm not sure how you got to that conclusion. Would you mind explaining a little more?
Well, if the effect of disease transmission is independent of people having contact then it leads one to believe the tests are giving the same results whether or not any disease is transmitted. In other words, there is no disease but instead a test which give results with or without a disease.
Keep in mind, there are other reasonable explanations. Each one should be looked into and tested against.

That's not what he's saying. Contact is required for it to spread. What the data seems to show is that regardless of how strict the isolation or how soon they start it, it still follows the same pattern.
Another reasonable explanation is 5G.
Coronavirus is one of the many viruses that we call "The Common Cold", the other major one being the Rhinovirus. Everyone has it, everyone will have it. We will never get rid of it. Just seems like an easy scapegoat, to me.
Yes, this is quite possible. It would explain that if they are testing for something like that and called it something else it would look like a pandemic of a new strain.
