An Iranian Health Ministry Spokesman Called China’s Coronavirus Data ‘A Bitter Joke’

The official coronavirus numbers from Iran show more than 60,000 people infected and nearly 4,000 deaths. As I’ve written previously, there’s good reasons to suspect those numbers may not be accurate.

A rare thing indeed when we can agree with an Iranian official.

The action is probably less dangerous than being about to testify against Hillary.

Have you seen the meme of Trump calling Hillary to inform her that Covid is about to testify against her?

The Chinese are such lying, thieving, cheating scumbuckets. During the speed reading Olympics they relocated teams minutes before the event to disturb them, draggon boat videos are doctored everytime etc etc.

I absolutely loath the PRC
