A voter casts his ballot in the parliamentary elections in a polling station in Tehran, Iran, Friday, Feb. 21, 2020. Iranians began voting for a new parliament Friday, with turnout seen as a key measure of support for Iran's leadership as sanctions weigh on the economy and isolate the country diplomatically.
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian health authorities on Saturday reported a fifth death from the new virus that emerged in China, and said the fatality was from among 10 new confirmed cases of the virus in Iran.Health ministry spokesman Kianoush Jahanpour made the announcement on state TV, but did not specify when the death occurred. Two people had died earlier Friday from COVID-19, the illness caused by virus. Authorities reported two deaths previously this week.
Jahanpour said that of the 10 newly detected cases, two were in the capital of Tehran and eight were in the city of Qom. That’s where the first two elderly patients died on Wednesday. He said the two patients in the capital had visited Qom or had links with the city. Qom is a popular religious destination and a center of learning and religious studies for Shiite Muslims from inside Iran, as well as Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.
So funny the people with lots beard wearing mask
russian_market More to come... hope it gets all the leaders...
Iran deserve that shit.
In December the Iranian leader said he was sending Trump 'a Christmas present'wonder what that meant.
Fear mugging
Missing from all this discussion: what are the symptoms and who is most at risk of dying from the virus. What are their common characteristics?
Iran has the worst disease prevention programs and I anticipate an increase in the number of coronavirus cases. As a result, the neighboring Iraq will witness an increase as well because the heavy human traffic between the two countries.
That’s it? That’s a shame!
May be stop calling every virus coronavirus. You know some distinction please!!!
russian_market Iran does not have the capacity or the infrastructure to test or contain the virus. The numbers are probably way more and it will wreak havoc on the country. Iran is very religious with prayer gatherings multiple times a day. Religious folks tend to think they are immune by god.
Would not be surprised if Iran did no treat them at all called mercy killing
This is getting really dangerous now. Because US sanctions have limited Iran's ability to import medicines. There is a chronic shortage of medical supplies and medicine needed to halt the spread. US and its allies must allow the shipments of medicine to go through. Otherwise...
Why is no one questioning Iran's unusually high death rate of COVID2019 victims? It totally bucks the trend; they are running at a 17.86% mortality rate. Even the Chinese don't have it this high!!
russian_market Y don't u say d name Corona Virus aka CoVid19
russian_market
Considering they just had an election, the numbers are MUCH higher and will spread across the middle east very quickly Also: “Iranian health officials said the virus may already be in ‘all Iran's cities’'
I have a feeling Irani officials are putting down the ones who have the virus. I don’t thinking they attempted to treat those folks.
russian_market We are finally going to see the real spread/death rates, causes and everything we need to know based on data from Iran, South Korea, and Italy.
Interesting, the arch enemies of the US government are all sick and afraid😀
just_whatever An interesting thought,..do populations that have had a history of vaccinations, .i.e, FLU vaccinations, fair better or worse, with the coronas virus?
