The Coronavirus epidemic affecting Iran has spread even to the government as Iranian Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi has announced that he has tested positive for the disease. In addition, Iranian MP Mahmud Sadagi also announced that he had contracted the Coronavirus.
In a self-published video, Deputy Health Minister Harirchi said he had contracted the virus. Iranian media reported that the infection occurred after he was apparently exposed to direct contact with local citizens who were hospitalized on suspicion of being infected with the Coronavirus.
Following the infection, Harirchi was found in solitary confinement at Tehran Hospital. The suspicion that he was infected with the Coronavirus came up after Harirchi convened a press conference in Tehran on Monday with a spokesman for the Iranian government, during which he looked sweaty and coughed for a long time.
Subsequently, it was speculated that the Deputy Minister of Health had become infected with the deadly virus, and the results of the tests confirmed this. Incidentally, during the press conference, Harirchi rejected the claim that 50 people died in the city of Qom in Iran as a result of the Corona virus. "If the number of victims from Corona in the city of Qom is even a quarter of the number reported by the media, I will resign. The number is incorrect, and we are confident in our statistics," Harirchi said.
Following the spread of the virus in Iran, President Hassan Rouhani called on local citizens "not to panic. We will overcome the virus safely."....

I resolutely deny hoax tweets that I have got a coronavirus. A total nonsense.
Serves them right for cozying up to the Chinese. Who knows what nefarious activities they were up to?
If the Coronavirus gets into the goat population, the Middle East is doomed!
Sharing the same goat obviously.

All individuals at the press conference have been exposed. This will spread through Tehran like wild fire.
“...during which he looked sweaty and coughed for a long time...”
Dead man walking.
Thanks Eleutheria5.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Muslims.
Makes one wonder if the spread of the disease was just chance. The virus was identified at a known bio/chem laboratory and perfectly fits the definition of a biological weapon. And it could have been planted by anyone, to include us or many that are threatened by Iran. Part of a conflict most do not see but has been used before.

Right Now, the top people in Iran are planning a ‘cultural exchange’ with the nation of Israel. On the agenda, plenty of shaking hands and coughing.
Last I looked it was 20‰ fatal in Iran.
Video on ‘Twitter coronavirus’ purporting to show Iranian Deputy Health Minister continually wiping sweat from his face. Its dripping off him. He’s a hot mess. I’d say he has a full blown case of the virus.
Let Allah save those infected Iranians. If he doesn’t, it will discredit their theocracy.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys!
