Its all spread from the same goat.

[EvilCapitalist]

How soon before the Ayatollah gets it?

[dp0622]

Who knew there would be an upside to this illness?

[proust]

Or they are going for public sympathy to avoid getting lynched by angry mobs.

[NorseViking]

I believe they may afford the health care needed unlike regular folks.

Who got it from the Chinese building their nuclear weapons

Aren’t these the folks who wipe their asses with one hand and eat their hummus with the other? Seem like a real sanitary lot.

[FLT-bird]

Sweet! Let’s hope it kills them all.

These Iranian despots getting covid19 is in a word WEIRD. So weird that a conspiracy nut might believe that it may have been deliberate. You don’t see high level officials in ROK, Japan, Italy, Hong Kong, Singapore testing positive. OR given the apocalyptic nature of the mullahs maybe this is the beginning of an effort on Iran’s part to create end times with the leadership showing the way.

But they have a surefire cure https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2020/2/25/applying-essential-oil-to-anus-cures-coronavirus-iranian-cleric

Spreading among Iran’s elite? As Dirty Harry would say.....”well I’m all broken up”

“Its all spread from the same goat.”

Maybe the virus got into the little boy wing of the orphanage in the Capital City...

[jerod]

Was it the virus or poison? Eliminating ones rivals during panic over a virus appears to be an opportunity that somebody in Iran is taking advantage of. Hopefully the new regime that emerges is more friendly than the current one.

[lurk]

The virus appears to have a thing for dictatorships.

[miserare]

Or the same 12 year old dancing boy.

[jetson]

They must be mixing up the left and right hand at dinner.

[cherry]

its like the #metoo movement....everybody wants some of the action.....

every little sickness now will be the coronavirus....

[null and void]

It's all spread from the same goat.

You're Baaaaad!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
