Iran is Suffering from the Virus

I've Been Thinking:

Iran is suffering from Coronavirus. That much we know.

We also know that the Iranians do not report the truth.

For two days in a row they have been reporting over 100 deaths each day.

There were113 deaths on Sunday and 129 on Monday. Total Coronavirus deaths in Iran, so far, is 853.

On Monday the Iranians said that new infections for the day hit 1,053 putting total infections in Iran at 14, 991.

There is no doubt that the numbers in Iran are far higher. How much greater is a serious unknown.

The one good thing is that Iran has been isolated for some time now, so few people have been in and out of the country. There is one major exception to that – and it is China. That does not bode for either of those nations, both of them centers of the virus.

If China has topped out and is now having fewer and fewer infections – which is the way it appears to be - it is because they closed down a city of 23 million people. That move localized the contamination to one region.

It was a good move by China.
