This is the Deputy Health Minister of #Iran Harirchi who is infected with #CoronaVirus had a joint TV interview and a press conference yesterday among journalists with no mask. Today media inside Iran announced that other officials had been infected with the virus.
2-Yet, on social media, Iranians don't believe that officials like this deputy minister have #CoronaVirus. If they really did, then why isn't this TV presenter quarantined? She's now interviewing someone else. She was the one interviewing Harrichi yesterday.
3-Iranians actually think some officials are lying when they claim to have #CoronaVirus. By appearing in good shape despite claiming to have the virus, they're downplaying this pandemic. They're exposing Iranians to a catastrophe. This issue is serious and Iran is downplaying it

1) This is Amir Hossein Moradi, 23, a protester from #IranProtests who's just been sentenced to death. One of his family members told me: "When his family saw him give forced confessions on TV, they didn't think he'd be sentenced to death this quickly" His family is devastated.
2) In my interview with one of his family members, I was told "Amir Hossein believed in freedom. He wasn't affiliated with any group. He protested like many people during #IranProtests of Nov 2019. He had previously lived in Germant for 3 years. He was forced to confess on TV"
3-The same family member said, "Amir Hossein couldn't live away. He came back to Iran to be closer to his mum & sister. Since his arrest, his family has been in a terrible state. Judge Salavati has precipitously sentenced him to death. He also faces 15 years in prison & flogging"

1-Since my brother's arrest on Sept 23, I wake up every morning & feel a void. I used to talk to him daily & now he's in Iran’s notorious Evin prison. History will write this. My brother is jailed as he refused to disown me. The regime has arrested my brother due to my activities
2-The regime deceitfully uses the charges of “campaigning against the system” and “insulting the supreme leader” to justify my brother’s imprisonment. The same regime that mercilessly killed 176 innocent people aboard Ukrainian Airlines plane while wanting to hit the Americans.
3-We’re talking about the same regime that mercilessly killed more than 1500 people in the streets of Iran during November 2019’s #IranProtests. The same regime that shut down the internet for more than 7 days while massacring these people in the streets.

Dear @JustinTrudeau : thanks for forcefully demanding the truth in the #PS752 case.

But I hope you'll remember that, long before the recent conflicts, Iran had kept on targeting Canadians.

"Escalation" is not the explanation. Here are some examples."
@JustinTrudeau 2-In 2003, they killed the Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi.

While initially denying it, they later said she had hit her own head after fainting.

Then a doctor said she was killed as he was the one who examined her.

No one has been held to account for her death.
@JustinTrudeau 3-In 2008, they arrested Hamid Ghassemi-Shall, the Canadian-Iranian businessman on fake charges of espionage.

He was jailed in the notorious Evin prison until 2013. They also arrested his brother, Alborz, who died in prison.

#Iran's Mahan Air flights continue between China & Iran despite #coronavirus outbreaks in both countries.

Now reports indicate Mahan Air flights from to Iraq.

Reminder:
Mahan Air is sanctioned by the U.S. for its association to Iran's terrorist IRGC.
#Iran sent 3 million masks to China & continued Mahan Air flights to & from that country.

Now Iran is the world's second largest #coronavirus epicenter.

And yet regime officials & apologists/lobbyists abroad blame the U.S.
China & #Iran are the world's top #coronavirus epicenters.

Both countries are taking measures to address this crisis.

This 60-second video shows 30 seconds of China & 30 seconds of Iran.

You be the judge.

Latest on #coronavirus , a short thread:

"'It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,' said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases..."
"She said that public health officials have no idea whether the spread of [COVID-19] to the United States would be mild or severe, but that Americans should be ready for a significant disruption to their daily lives..."
"'We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad,' Dr. Messonnier said..."

This appears legit, and per news source I'll post below, spokesperson on right later appeared with cabinet secretary level officials. Iran is in deep water, and this is not under control.
News story confirming above. Deputy Health minister is a vector right to the top of the government. news.yahoo.com/iran-deputy-he… #coronavirus
And perhaps not the only vector.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
