Day 145 and 146 - #COVID19 in Iran

A brief update

Picking up from two days ago:
My "methods" [there is a method in the madness]:

ICYMI - I have compiled a separate thread on #COVID19 reinfection which I will keep updating with news as they come. Probably as #IMPORTANT as my first thread on day 1.

[Current Outlook]
The 2nd wave is brutally raging on in the country. Official numbers keep breaking daily deaths records and 25 province out of 31 are in red or warning status. We finally have a good news in Bushehr, after Khuzestan, that the situation is stabilising.
A recording of a hospital meeting in Isfahan (4M) has leaked where the hospital director is talking about how in ICU they had to decide whom to save: choosing younger patients - as once reporter in Spain.

Isfahan is Iran's 2nd biggest city.

The situation in Iran's 3rd biggest city, Mashhad (3.6M), is going from bad to worse - cases/deaths keep rising.

Tehran (9M), is Iran's biggest city where 767 new patients admitted over the last 24 hours. This number used to less than 200 just two months ago and ~250 a month ago.

Two MPs and Tabriz's Friday Prayer Imam (highest religious official in a city) are down with COVID19 - Tabriz (1.6M) is Iran's 5th biggest city, after Shiraz (1.6M).

Situation in Ardabil province (1.3M) is now worse than the 1st wave and it has been described as critical.

Just in the province of Mazandaran (3M) 1000 from the medical staff have contracted #COVID19.

It is no surprise that we keep losing our medical staff.

Dr. Abdolali Kharazmi, a senior lecturer and Paediatrician in Mashhad has died of #COVID19.

Leaving you tonight with this:

As I said, season of Ashura, the most important shiite religious festival is approaching and the religious elite have decided to have it at all costs, and it has already started.

The sign reads: "Do not enter WITH a mask - Imams will protect you"

Back in 1994, a bombing in Mashhad's holy shrine of 8th Shia Imam killed 25 and injured 70.

This bombing was attributed to MEK, a terrorist organisation that back then was reinventing itself as a political opposition.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Reza…
It then, however, turned out to be the work of Islamic Republic's own intelligence ministry. They finally accepted that an "autonomous cell" within the ministry led by Saied Emami had gone rogue and planned and executed the attack. Image
With that in the back of Iranian minds, terrorist attack on Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz was immediately dismissed as the work of the Islamic Republic itself, especially considering the timing (protests).

But it is undeniable that ISIS has claimed responsibility and released πŸ‘‡ Image

43rd day of #IranProtests following the killing of #MahsaAmini

I am not sure even where to start.

Today, dozens of cities around the world will witness human chains of Iranians extending for miles.

This has been planned for London too, sadly I do not feel well enough to go. Image
After weeks and weeks of reactive handling of the protests in the hope of them fizzling out, today the regime is planning to use today's burial procession of Shiraz terrorist attack victims to take the initiative back again.

IRGC Commander again declared the end of protests. ImageImageImageImage
As you can see from the images above, even for a neutral event where everyone would condemn such cowardly terrorist attack (and I do too), the regime failed to bring masses to the street.

Believe me I chose busiest pics, check them for yourself.

#BREAKING The country is in turmoil and it feels like the regime is losing the grip - which is not necessarily good news since this might mean we enter a military phase.

People are reported to be in control of Town of Mahabad in Kurdistan

#BREAKING

Inconsistencies around the story on attack to Shah Cheragh in Shiraz have been discovered.

First of all, ISIS statements is dated 30th of Rabi Al-Awwal month yet it has only 29 days! Today is 1st of Rabi Al-Thani

Image
Funny thing is that taghvim.com website used commonly by Iranians says today is 30th of Rabi al-Awwal. All other calendars say today is 1st of Rabi-ali-Thaani.

It cannot be ISIS! Image
My Arab followers, can you please tell me what day it is according to Hijri calendar?

Some calendars I found say 28th, some 29th, some 1st ...
