An Iranian doctor in the northern city of Gorgan said that the country was facing a “human catastrophe” in its handling of the COVID-19 crisis. The Iranian regime announced Iran’s COVID-19 fatalities as 354 across the country and put the number of infections at 9,000.
But sources affiliated with the National Council of Resistance said that the death toll exceeds 3,300 and that 149 cities have been affected.
According to an audio file of the recorded voice of a doctor at Sayad Shirazi Hospital, at least 20-30 patients died every day at this hospital alone.
...
“We are going towards a human catastrophe. The numbers of fatalities are horrid; 20-30 every day. The morgue doesn’t have any more room. Conditions are catastrophic and it’s more than war (casualties).
...
The sick person comes who is around 35 years old and doesn’t have very strong symptoms but then we see that his lungs are white (in the CT scan). What is this?! What are we supposed to do?! We’re forced to let some of them leave and they go into society and infect ten others.”
Well, then, we will see what happens as the proof of your theories.
Looking at the maps it seems to be spreading to a vastly larger area of our country than in China.
"Recommendations" mean as much as washing your hands in public restrooms - only Surel 30% of people do it and less do it right. They are good for nothing.
This has not been taken seriously in MANY areas until the last 3 days.
Are you suggesting that a larger percentage of Chinas population will end up dead than ours? Or will end up testing positive?
Let's keep track....
they have 81K with 1.5 Billion people.
we have 20K already with 330 Million.
So we already have as large a percentage. I predict our will be 10X theirs...and maybe I am being conservative.
You seem to be claiming MAGA when the truth and facts show the complete opposite! Surely you know Apple Stores and Factories in China have opened again?
THINK. Step back. Take all the preconceived ideas out of your mind and look at it all. Measure it.
That's kinda the point. In spite of having done nothing to corral the original outbreak, and in spite of it rapidly growing to 80k cases, the virus still "died down". Wuhan, a city of some 11 million and the source of the outbreak, had ~.75% of the population infected-in spite of no action to contain it until it was an epidemic. Granted-a lot of that was because they had to figure out what they were dealing with. ANd the original strain supposedly did NOT transmit person to person-that supposedly didn't happen until after a mutation. We have done more to contain it, earlier than China did.

I am very curious about this argument that it was better to lie to the American public to prevent early panic and that the type of panic we have now is somehow better.
Wouldn't it have been better for American's to panic back in January?
I mean a full on American style type of panic. A full run on the grocery stores, no toilet paper!
Imagine if that panic took place in January! The stores by now would be fully restocked.
Instead what did we get. The exact same type of American style panic. However, with a difference. Many of those people during the March panic were busy spreading the virus around just so they could stock up on toilet paper they could have bought way back in January.
Here’s the grimmest version of life a year from now: More than two million Americans have died from the new coronavirus, almost all mourned without funerals. Countless others have died because hospitals are too overwhelmed to deal adequately with heart attacks, asthma and diabetic crises. The economy has cratered into a depression, for fiscal and monetary policy are ineffective when people fear going out, businesses are closed and tens of millions of people are unemployed. A vaccine still seems far off, immunity among those who have recovered proves fleeting and the coronavirus has joined the seasonal flu as a recurring peril.
Yet here’s an alternative scenario for March 2021: Life largely returned to normal by the late summer of 2020, and the economy has rebounded strongly. The United States used a sharp, short shock in the spring of 2020 to break the cycle of transmission; warm weather then reduced new infections and provided a summer respite for the Northern Hemisphere. By the second wave in the fall, mutations had attenuated the coronavirus, many people were immune and drugs were shown effective in treating it and even in reducing infection. Thousands of Americans died, mostly octogenarians and nonagenarians and some with respiratory conditions, but by February 2021, vaccinations were introduced worldwide and the virus was conquered.

Done nothing? Lol, that must be the funniest post of the day.
We have done more? That's even funnier. Where are the test kits? In numbers, you know, like in other countries.

It didn't die down. The Chinese went out with ropes on sticks and hooked people who were trying to do things like millions of Americans (congregate in groups, socialize) and they sprayed them down with disinfectant. They sprayed the city streets and villages over and over with foggers and locked down 100% of the population.
They built hospitals in 10 days.
We have done NONE of the above. None. We are still allowing millions to travel from where they got it (cruise, Florida, etc.) to everywhere else in the USA without any screening.
Surely you cannot claim we are doing anything? I am talking to people every day and they are NOT isolating themselves....they are flying, driving, golfing....and up until about 3 days ago they were shoulder to shoulder by the millions.

The problem with looking for antibodies seems to have largely been solved owing to research by Florian Krammer, a virologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The article is dated just 3/19/2020 so this is ground breaking news.
Oh never mind. Too many words and Trump doesn't read anyway.
Oh wait a second Trump Jr is running the show at Trump hotels. I bet he reads more than his father. Right!
