Iran confirmed 13 new coronavirus cases, bringing its total in the country to 18. Seven people with the flu-like virus were diagnosed in Qom, four people in Tehran and two in Gilan.

Lurch may show up with the virus...
No Haj this year?
This is going to get out of control, it’s going to
get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it...
