May be worse than reported - ya think ?
Maybe it’s true. But I remember the email that circulated during Katrina about corpses in trees and the like.
This report must frustrate Dems to no end as they have no way to fly them into the US, like they did under Obama.
Please STOP calling it the meaningless, P.C. name "COVID-19". CHINA is responsible for this virus, and their lies and deceptions accelerated its spread.
Iran was transversed by the Silk Road. Chinese caravans coming out of the deserts and mountains of Asia rest, reprovisioned and dallied in Iran. The Mongols conquered Iran. Southeastern Iran is heavily Asian. The fact is that the population of Iran’s genome has a large Asian contribution. As mentioned by many the region in Italy where the outbreak occurred is heavily populated with Chinese immigrants and Asian workers.
It is useless to merely list the numbers infected. However politically incorrect, it is necessary to know the race, severity of illness and the underlying medical condition of the victims to understand the susceptibility of given populations to this and every other pathogen. The CDC and WHO have this data but for whatever reason are not releasing the information.
Not meaning to sound unsympathetic BUT how can we really ‘care’ for a bunch of clowns that figure licking statues, other people etc etc and just using the thought that Allah and his will etc etc...
I have always thought that the ‘snake handling preachers’ - although stupid - were very brave and showed great faith in the Lord....
However, no matter how brave they may or may not be, I surely wouldn’t want to be ‘trapped’ in a foxhole or life or death situation as they may just up and think we BOTH are immune to whatever and the Lord will protect us...Unless, of course one of us had ‘sinned’....
I just love idiotic articles like this where the authors act all surprised that brutal governments like Iran, China and North Korea might be....gasp.....misleading people about something
CHINA is responsible for this virus, and their lies and deceptions accelerated its spread.
That’s no way to talk about our “friends”!//
I guess Hussein won’t be shipping billions of dollars on pallets of his own money over there to help.
Iranians are expected to have Asian genome! Iran IS in Asia, not Europe or Africa.
Coronavirus: China reports no new local cases outside of Hubei for 3rd day straight

Yeah, and totally unbelievable. I think China just gave up.

From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy:
1/ ‘I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what is happening in Italy, and also give some quick direct advice about what you should do.
2/ First, Lumbardy is the most developed region in Italy and it has a extraordinary good healthcare, I have worked in Italy, UK and Aus and don’t make the mistake to think that what is happening is happening in a 3rd world country.
3/ The current situation is difficult to imagine and numbers do not explain things at all. Our hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid-19, they are running 200% capacity
4/ We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask.
5/ Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed.
6/ My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV. PLEASE STOP, READ THIS AGAIN AND THINK.
7/ We have seen the same pattern in different areas a week apart, and there is no reason that in a few weeks it won’t be the same everywhere, this is the pattern: 8/ 1)A few positive cases, first mild measures, people are told to avoid ED but still hang out in groups, everyone says not to panick
2)Some moderate resp failures and a few severe ones that need tube, but regular access to ED is significantly reduced so everything looks great
9/ 3)Tons of patients with moderate resp failure, that overtime deteriorate to saturate ICUs first, then NIVs, then CPAP hoods, then even O2.
4)Staff gets sick so it gets difficult to cover for shifts, mortality spikes also from all other causes that can’t be treated properly.
Don’t call it a flu, which it’s not.
I guess Hussein won’t be shipping billions of dollars on pallets of his own money over there to help.
I’m sure President Trump is making arrangements to ship a bunch of our ventilators over to them as i’m typing this.//
The Iranian people are quite able and educated and were one of the most Westernized populations in the Middle East—until they fell to extremists in the revolution.
Doubt that..........
