Iranians lick shrines and say they are ‘not scared of coronavirus
Metro UK ^ | 2 Mar 2020 | Joe Roberts

Officials have confirmed 978 cases in Iran and 54 deaths, the highest death toll of any country outside China. But religious leaders continue reject advice from the Health Ministry to close holy sites to help stop the spread of infection.

Worrying videos posted to social media show worshippers saying they ‘don’t care what happens’ and ‘I am not scared of coronavirus’. A child is even hailed for licking a shrine in the northern city of Qom, which has become the epicentre for the Iranian outbreak.

Journalist Masih Alinejed shared the videos and said the Iranian regime is ‘endangering the lives of Iranians and the world’ by keeping the holy sites open.

That means there are at least 2,000 cases that they don't know about.

Lot of American-Iranians around....fair number of them left in the 1970s when things were falling apart. Most all of them are pro-US.

I get that. I know some.

Why are we allowing travel to and from Iran ?

POTUS should order a ban on the travel, except for US citizens returning, and they need to be put in 30 day quarantine.

Iranians are some of the best people I’ve ever met.

But “these” people are among the dumbest creatures; Turkey-like in their stupidity.

Hospital staff say they are lying about the death numbers in Qom.

One other observation after watching the numbers in differing countries. We either have 2 differing strains, one more deadly than the other or many countries are fudging the numbers.

Maybe that is why this 7th century barbaric cesspool has the second highest death rate. T

hese Iranians fanatics are the same as the Japanese were prior and during WW2.

A whole lot of the nips had to be annihilated to bring them around to modern day thinking. Thinning the herd does remove "group think"

Feds moved travel restrictions to Level 4 IIRC, yesterday.

Maybe they’re thinking that, even if they catch it, they have a 97% of surviving it. Glass half full thinking, maybe. Or maybe they’re just being foolish.
