I saw somewhere, maybe FOX that the Mecca is closed down right now.

Mecca has 1,535,000 people living there all year round. The world's Muslims visit only during the very short time of the Hajj. There would be no reason to CLOSE DOWN the entire city FIVE months before the Hajj.

Hey - they ran out of passenger planes to shoot down, so this is their fall-back position.

At a human level, I disagree. Iran should bar visitors and quarantine cities to stop the spread of disease. We already know it has travelled from Iran to Canada and other countries.

As a Ha Ha Joke, let the enemy die because it is such a bad decision, then I agree, let them be idiots.

I’ve heard that the sovereign cure is applying tobacco smoke to the affected orifice...

The Saudi’s have stopped the Hajj. Not allowing any foreigners to Mecca or Medina.

Some 95% of the human woe in this world is in some way self-induced.

This is an overblown left leading agenda. Let me repeat....

2019-2020 US flu season statistics (so far):
29,000,000/280,000/16,000/200

Reads like preparation for a night on the town in San Francisco.

“They are going to spread the disease through out the Near East and Central Asia.”

And fly infected people to America.

Let’s see, in the last couple of months Iran has been hit by floods, earthquakes, locusts, and now the Corona virus. And it is all happening just before Purim, the holiday that celebrates the Jews defeating an Iranian anti-Semite. Coincidence?

Sounds like a scary trip for a reporter. After one dodges the Corona virus the entire trip they then can enjoy their flight out of Iran and hope that the air defense network is asleep.

Not the city, the holy sight with the meteorite they worship in the big black box they circle around.

This sounds like the Health Minister in Indonesia saying that they have been spared the virus because they are praying to Allah. And they are praying really hard.

“God has been known to allow plagues to serve His purpose, eh, Pharoah?”

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2019/09/18/china-forces-churches-to-replace-ten-commandments-with-xi-jinping-quotes/

Xi sets himself above the Lord at the end of Sept 2019, and within weeks a regime threatening plague starts.

Pray for the Christians of China, and for President Trump !
