Iranian Health Official Calls Chinese Coronavirus Stats a ‘Bitter Joke’

[F-22Raptor]

Iranian health ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur on Sunday criticized Chinese government statistics on the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, appearing to blame those statistics for other countries’ slow response to the emerging pandemic.

“It seems statistics from China [were] a bitter joke, because many in the world thought this is just like influenza, with fewer deaths,” Jahanpur said during a video conference in remarks translated by Radio Farda. “This [impression] were based on reports from China and now it seems China made a bitter joke with the rest of the world.”

Jahanpur added, “If in China they say an epidemic was controlled in two months, one should really think about it.”

The remarks caused a spat with Chinese officials, with China’s ambassador to Iran saying the country should ” show respect to the truths and great efforts of the people of China.” Jahanpur took to Twitter to criticize Chinese statistics yet again, but subsequently offered praise of China, an ally of Iran.

“The support offered by China to the Iranian people in these trying times is unforgettable,” Jahanpur wrote on Monday.

While Iran has reported over 60,000 cases of coronavirus with more than 3,700 deaths as of Monday, U.S. officials believe the extent of the outbreak is much wider than the government has revealed. In late February, Iranian parliament members criticized their own government for concealing “horrific numbers” of deaths in the country.

It was China's serious alarm and response to the epidemic that alerted the world and if they were too slow to realise its impact or act then the blame falls on the world. China's response was praiseworthy and commendable and has saved countless lives all around the world. More praise should be exalted on China as they shared the lessons learnt and have sent vital equipment to countries in need. I don't blame China for looking inward at time of crisis as the Virulent strain hit them by surprise. Small minded people are bound to nit pick and criticise China for political poodling and point scoring.

Not only China was able to respond against the virus in timely and strict manner, they are able to produce equipment/hospitals in record time and are able to send it to entire world.

The only equipment some countries have produced are containers to hide the dead, yet they brazenly criticise China.

They don't understand what Chinese society did during this fight against Covid19.
They confuse why China can contain the virus, meanwhile their country cannot @khansaheeb



The answer is here..
There is a documentary video made by Japanese citizen living in Nanjing City (China) during this outbreak

After watch this Japanese video, you will know why The outbreak can be contained in China, meanwhile your country dying right now @F-22Raptor
