Real Time Update on Coronavirus Outbreak in Iran

[Hack-Hook]

But there are more Chinese here in Pakistan and most of them have just returned from china recently and thanks to lord almighty there's no case in Pakistan. Why iran? Am i missing something here?

The question is how many of cases are attributed to other form respiratory disease.

Iran
*30,000 deaths annually due to air population
*tens of thousands of deaths annually due to car accident

2 deaths to a respiratory virus....OMG IRAN HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY CIA/MOSSAD.

You guys are really idiots on here.

Belittling the global pandemic is in itself a confession. When such comments were made after 9/11, people were sent to court in the West!

You mean China is our enemy ?

The virus was engineered in U.S. military labs, and unleashed in Wuhan, with Iran and North Korea as ultimate targets. In their own worlds:

But we did stop flights from china and haven't even taken back our children cuz of Hadeeth and islamic teachings.

Anyways if not coronavirus something else is bound to kill us all eventually. Be good human beings and spend quality time on earth much as we got. Peace

Nope, beast would be a creature, “Daaba-tul-ard”, will be able to converse with humans.

However, humorously i was attributing corona virus to “Yajooj Majooj ki gardan mein keera aaega aur wo khatam hojaenge”, since the common stupid perception some people have of relating china with yajooj majooj.

Travel to and from Iran to Pakistan should be banned for the time being, just like China. An outbreak (God Forbid), happens in Iran, would be more dangerous to Pakistan and Afghanistan than China to Pakistan since China and Pakistan are separated by Mountains and uninhabitable places...

Strict screening, monitoring and restrictions on movement of people - esp potential risk sources - has mitigated Pakistan's risk of exposure. Smart work by GoP. At least, Pakistan's involvement is being delayed and reduced thanks to these efforts, even as nearly all our neighbouring countries are now affected. There is a clear lesson for those calling for the return of Pakistanis from Wuhan - it's too early at present to take such a chance.

There are documented cases of individuals clear after one or even two pcr tests, who are positive on the next test. If the gold standard pcr test isn't picking up infectees at the first pass, inevitably some infected individuals will escape into the general population.

Iran and South Korea are in trouble now. Several European countries are unable to stop the spread even.

Unfortunately while healthcare is cheap (Government health insurance) in Iran and access to medicine widely available the doctors are varying degrees of incompetence.

I once caught a terrible virus in Iran and got diagnosed with 4-5 different things! Most doctors would say just to leave Iran that they cannot treat it! Eventually one doctor was competent enough to prescribe a round of powerful injectable antibiotics.

So I imagine right now in these local clinics if someone has CoronaVirus who knows what the doctor is asking them or treating them as. Lots of incompetent “clinic” doctors in Iran.

Jesus, sorry you had to go through that man. Had a somewhat similar experience in Iran as well albeit I was much younger at the time (around 10-13 years of age, I'm 25 now). I got like a cold/ear infection and went to a Doctors office (if you could even call it that). And it felt more like a convenient store that was experiencing high-foot traffic.

Stood in line with some family member, don't really remember who, then went in quickly; doctor saw me and probably spent oh idk, less than 5 minutes with me and shoved us out the door with some prescription for some medicine and that was that. Lacked any kind of tack of professionalism, just in-and-out with very little regard to patient-doctor relations. Not that mind all too much but minute clinics and Urgicares here in the states still have some level of 'friendliness' to them. Honestly though I would imagine that one place I went to was just like that and there are more traditional Doctor's offices in Iran, especially now as compared to last time I went.

Not hating on Iran and its doctors, just thought I would share my story.

If a doctor gave you several different antibiotics for viral infection then I'm sure he/she is the incompetent one. I bet he/she even gave you bactriocid antibiotic with bactriostatic antibiotic at the same time.

Strict screening, monitoring and restrictions

LOL @ strict screening. The crooks at Pakistani airports have found opportunity to make money in it. They ask money from in coming Pakistanis to avoid being quarantine for 14 days.

Looks like Pakistan might be a possible culprit here. Iran thinks that Pakistan religious pilgrims may have passed the virus on.

Japanese TV report sparks speculations in China that COVID-19 may have originated in US

Published: 2020/2/22 16:26:51

A report from a Japanese TV station that suspected some of the 14,000 Americans died of influenza may have unknowningly contracted the coronavirus has gone viral on Chinese social media, stoking fears and speculations in China that the novel coronavirus may have originated in the US.

The report, by TV Asahi Corporation of Japan, suggested that the US government may have failed to grasp how rampant the virus have gone on the US soil.

On February 14, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said they will begin to test individuals with influenza-like-illness for the novel coronavirus at public health labs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City.

However, it is unknown whether Americans who have already died of the influenza had contracted the coronavirus, as reported by TV Asahi.

The story sparked various conspiracy theories on Chinese cyberspace.

The Military World Games were held in Wuhan in October. "Perhaps the US delegates brought the coronavirus to Wuhan, and some mutation occurred to the virus, making it more deadly and contagious, and causing a widespread outbreak this year," a user posted on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo.

Shen Yi, an international relations professor at the Shanghai-based Fudan University, noted that global virologists are working to track the origin of the virus, including the intelligence agencies. Netizens are encouraged to actively partake in discussions, but preferrably in a rational fashion.

"The symptoms and the contagiosity of the COVID-19 are evident to all. It is impossible to conceal the origins of the disease," Shen said, urging the public to rely more on facts.

The epidemic is a major test for many systems and media should report in a clear and accurate manner. Asahi's report is actually using ambiguous Japanese expressions to lead readers to think that the COVID-19 is more serious than it appeared to be in the US, he added.

US officials have so far confirmed 35 cases of the novel coronavirus in the country.

Media reported the US CDC has been working with the healthcare sector to heighten preparedness before the virus "take(s) a foothold in the US."

Reuters quoted US health officials on Friday as saying, they are preparing for the possibility of the spread of the new coronavirus through US communities that would force closures of schools and businesses.

The US is concerned that a larger spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus could overwhelm emergency rooms, and cause supply shortages of some crucial medical supplies, during an already busy time dealing with seasonal flu that has resulted in the illness of between 9 to 45 million annually, since 2010.

this coronavirus supposedly has only a 1-2% kill rate.. something definitely isn't adding up here...

how do we go from no confirmed cases to 2 dead already? this would indicate a serious outbreak. especially in qom since there are soo many religious activities around where people gather in tight spaces and close proximity...

this isn't looking good...….

With 6 deaths for 28 confirmed cases, it makes a 21% fatality rate.

It should be 300 confirmed cases, but the explanation might simply be that Iran wasn't able to detect the remaining 272 patients, due to material limitations such as the murderous U.S. embargo on all medicine and medical equipments.

Only today, North Korea has asked the World Health Organization for some sanctions waiwer, in order to prevent a global pandemic!

Iran should do the same.

Should we as well, refuse to accept all travelers from Iran?

 

[Stryker1982]

Should we as well, refuse to accept all travelers from Iran?

Probably already too late.

 

[BATMAN]

This is a highly contagious virus, two deaths clearly show that there are already a large number of people infected in Iran.

It's common sense.... BTW, if 2 deaths are leaked from closed state, than add at least one zero next to it =20 deaths.

Probably already too late.

Possibilities are as high as they can get.
