"Since last night until today, new cases have already been discovered in other cities such as Arak and Iran International is reporting that 7 more have died, including a 5-year-old girl.” “As for Qom? The army has been called in to prepare for curfew in Qom…" "They already closed the schools and universities." "As of last night, least 20 more Iranians were hospitalized which are now in a severe condition of pneumonia and thus are suspected of being infected with Coronavirus.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect the same lies from Iran as from China, no real numbers, nothing, just total secrecy, after all we can’t forget what they did with the downed Ukrainian passenger plane where they lied for days that it wasn’t them and then they finally admitted. If you go to English language Iranian websites like Presstv.com or tehrantimes.com or even IRNA news agency none of them has one single article published about this. Clearly they are trying to hide this whole thing. Just like China, Iran will not tell the truth, in fact nobody will because governments value muh economy way more than disposable people. To them, people are disposable, they don’t care, they are soulless, all they care for is “muh economy” and money and admitting to be seriously infected will have a deep impact on muh economy without any buts and ifs. In a way, I guess they are right as this could devalue currency, drop prices, close factories, it would be just total societal collapse, so in a way they are kinda right to lie like scumbags, its kinda “for the greater good” but on the other hand because of their disgusting lies, people won’t care, they will think everything is fine and they will not be cautious at all and this would help the virus spread more instead of inhibiting it. World Edge @WorldEdgeDG · Feb 19, 2020 Replying to @livecrisisnews Here it goes the "only Asians die" theory. FLUWA@FUWA_WEREWOLF I mean. They could have just been executed. 7:02 PM - Feb 19, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy See FLUWA's other Tweets Its complicated… in any case at least now we know that non-Asians can also die of Coronavirus because many reports were saying that only Asian Mongoloid people can die because of this virus and while we did give a somewhat credence to this theory, because the theory was put forward by a team of Chinese scientists, we did have our skepticism about it, because viruses do mutate and even if they aren’t affecting whites NOW, they could… in the future after a small mutation. Think about it, how much of a big mutation would it require? Viruses often jump from animals to humans and especially from monkeys to humans, how much big of a mutation would they need to jump from Mongoloids to Caucasoids? Sure we’re genetically different but in the end we’re both of the homo-sapiens species, so the leap wouldn’t be that big. The messed up part is that Iranians are genetically related with white European Caucasoids. Persians are part of the Indo-European race so this means that if the virus can kill Iranians, it can surely also kill Germans and Britons as well. Now with all the above bla bla bla put aside, here’s some interesting facts: Iranians are buying masks on mass and there is already a shortage reported: Farhang F.

(photo credit: REUTERS/ALY SONG) The spread of coronavirus in Iran has raised concerns across the Middle East as Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other countries reacted to the possibility that the virus could spread via pilgrims or others. Iran held parliamentary elections on Friday but the deaths of at least two more people from the virus, which originated in China, has raised eyebrows. Reports in Iran appear to point to a growing crisis. While only four or five deaths have been confirmed, the 18 cases detected are thought to be just a few of many that are undetected in many cities. The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed concern. Iranian officials were quoted in regional media say that the virus has spread to “many Iranian cities,” according to Al-Arabiya in Saudi Arabia. Iranians on social media are upset at the slow pace of official reaction, and the lack of clarity. “The situation is much worse than they say,” one person tweeted, basing his information on his daughter who is a nurse.
