Picking up from yesterday.
- Clerics still trying to figure out whether use of alcohol-based hand washes are OK
- Health authorities expecting the peak in 1 month and then dealing with it for another 2
- Reports that Hassan Nasrollah, Lebanese Hezbollah leader contracted #COVID19 from Iran links
- Hojjatollah Hassanzadeh, political deputy to Firuzkuh (Tehran province) governor
- Mehdi Ghassemi, ex-Chief Police in Mazandaran province
See the full thread:
He did not share the reason...
- Governor to Sari, Mazandaran, contracted #COVID19 now in isolation
- Occupancy in Mashhad hotels at 10%
- Iran claims to have made a drug?!
- People have donated protective gears to Langarud hospital in Gilan and stocks are full again!
- The extra 80 makeshift beds seems to have massively helped
- Lack of medical staff a big problem
- A number of nurses contracted #COVID19 but decided to stay home instead of hospitalised [not using beds?]
Total official deaths reported yesterday was 54 [go figure].
- hospital full
- things are unreal
- This is the beginning, if not controlled, so many will perish
OK here is the thread, being reconstructed
Teaches me a lesson to never publish anything on any other country. Once I did it for US and once for Italy and both times they were suspicious and caused a lot of hassle.
Sticking to IRAN. Apologies.
Dr. Pirhossein Kolivand, Head of Emergency Services in Iran. A few days after contracting the virus in hospital. As you can see not doing great.
[Praying for recovery]
I will give you a summary:
- 15-20 deaths everyday
- Cases come in with non-specific symptoms and a bit of fever and no hypoxia. You look at CT or X-ray lungs are heavily affected
- Most cases die within 24 hours after low O2 saturation appears
- Most patients dead have no pre-existing condition
- He said you should just try not catching it
- No elective procedure, yet all beds full of cases
- All doctors just working on #COVID19 flat out. even psychiatrists.
- Morgue full.
- He has seen more than 1000 patients so far
- Patient within 72-96 just becomes critical and then dies
- He says they cannot figure out why some just go to ARDS
- Thinks this has got to have been designed as a weapon
- The only solution is COMPLETE LOCKDOWN
Here is another link to the video. You can see he is not doing well.

Whether this virus is the result of:
- natural mutation
- lab work gone badly wrong
- bioterrorism
makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE to what we are meant to do.
Please refrain from discussing for or against any of above under my threads or BLOCKED.
