Anybody get the idea that the official coronavirus death toll in Iran is drastically under reported? I mean with all these prominent Iranians suddenly dropping like flies. What are the odds that the deputry health director, the vice president, and the former ambassador to the Vatican would drop dead within deays of each other and the official death toll is only 26?

DOES NOT COMPUTE.

Also, their Vice President was diagnosed with the virus today as well.

I’m not a believer in coincidences.

Some government out there is targeting Iranian officials with this virus.

There are some amazing Iran coronavirus stories out there on the web.

—The coronavirus spreads easily in places like Mosques where the worshippers all touch their hands to the ground at the same time, and in a large crowd.
—When Teheran closed the public schools, the parents decided it was a great time to take the kids on that long-awaited vacation, infecting the rest of the country.
—The Iranian government policy is patchwork, incoherent, contradictory, and imho totally useless.

Again, imho, but the virus is everywhere in Iran and will have to burn itself out there—the .gov will be a bystander for the most part.

Here is a very low key BBC story on the subject:

The Revolution generation that will be hit hardest. Iran has a older, male ruling class.

Maybe it’s their chance to get rid of some vexing ppl and then blame it on the virus. IJS....

Why did the Pope miss work today, runny nose, etc? Just connecting the Dots.

Did the two share an experience or audience?

I was cringing thinking about all of the Ash Wednesday events yesterday in Italy.

I’ve been told hereon that it’s actually no such thing, and that there’s no proof anyone’s died from it, and that Trump is just playing along in order to get ‘em later...some kind of 9D chess thing...or something...SMH
