It looks like several of the iranian leadership is sick
I wonder how Iran would function if the majority of the leadership sucumbs to the virus
Most of them are elderly and in the more suspectable category of deaths
If the Iman dies is their aa chain of leadeership of does Iran descend into chaos
Not likely to happen, but Iran is almost as bad as china for mis-leading information
At least two top officials and two members of Iran's parliament have contracted the disease, which has a reported mortality rate of 11 percent in Iran.
This statement in the article is the most ironic thing about what's going on.
"Responding to Pompeo’s remarks, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, tweeted that while the secretary of state accuses Iran of a cover-up the U.S. had still not given a precise number of fatalities from influenza in the 2019-2020 flu season.
(The CDC estimated around 34,200 deaths last flu season and at least 16,000 so far during the current season. "
So 16,000 people have died this year in the US because of the flu virus and thousands more will die this year.
When the first person in the US to die from the Coronavirus occurs, it will headline story #100 about how deadly and scary this virus is.
1 death= the sky is falling time to panic
100 deaths = OMG, we are all going to die!!!!!
16,000 deaths already from the flu this season =no big deal, we understand the flu virus and are not afraid of it and accept this risk............every year.
