23 Iranian MPs And The Head Of Iran's Emergency Medical Service Have Tested Positive For The Coronavirus



Middle East Eye: Iran coronavirus: 23 MPs, senior health official test positive for illness

Iran's parliament has suspended sessions as the Islamic Republic records 77 deaths from the virus

At least 23 Iranian MPs and the head of Iran's emergency medical service have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus, in the latest spike in cases in the Islamic Republic.

According to BBC Persian, the 23 lawmakers, out of the 290-member chamber, may have been infected due to their contact with their constituents across the country, which has reported the highest number of cases outside China, where the virus originated in December.

The head of Iran's emergency medical services, Pir-Hossein Kolivand, has also been infected with virus, the ILNA news agency reported.

Kolivand's "health is good and there is no need for concern", the office said in a statement.

WNU Editor: The probable reason why many Iranian government representatives are sick is because they probably met their Chinese equivalents in the past few months. It then makes me wonder on how many Chinese officials have gotten sick with Covid-19. Not surprising, the Chinese are not reporting on who is sick with their government.

The axis of evil made plain by a disease.

Unless they have underlying health conditions they shouldn't have a problem and should recover fairly quickly. The scare surrounding this an be as cover to eliminate those they don't like. Simply mark them down as having COVID-19 and eliminate them. It doesn't matter whether they actually have the disease or not.

If Trump gets the virus (very very likely as almost everyone on earth will be exposed to it within the next months), and if Trump were to die from a virus stemming from China, perhaps originating from a market of bat eaters or a military lab, can you imagine the response on the markets?

Trump can almost be single handedly (together with his administration) be credited for such a successful lead in terms of GDP and national comeback. If he were to die, and on the prospect of further tensions with China, markets might have to be stopped for a few days. if Trump dies before a second term Berne Sanders might become the next president of the US ---- literally, not figuratively or hyperbolically meant ---- Trillions of dollars and the future of the US and western world are at stake.

Funny how a virus can change the world like that.

Oh and if the Chinese know the genetic makeup of Trump and his receptors, it is technically possible to target him/a group of people sharing his genetic makeup when it comes to the surface receptors that would interact with the virus receptors. Of course risky, untried, but hey. ..if Trump gets it (likely) and dies of it, exactly this will be the conspiracy accusation driving the markets and militaries to the edge

A little but of knowledge is dangerous and apparently so with you.

I think you could win the Gong Show with your special ability to talk out your ass.

Can you whistle out ass too and carry a tune?

Now if Pence should get it and die, it will be bad news for the Christian crowd.

The Bottom from Canada speaks up.

Bob, think of the prayer as a pep talk. The have their pep talk and then get down to business. The doctors use their knowledge gained from medical school, internship, etc.

You might have something Bob if you said they used prayer alone. But you have nothing and pretend it is everything. Prayer and knowledge complement one another.

Please try to keep up.

Iran is dramatically ramping up production of enriched uranium in the wake of the Trump administration’s decision to abandon the 2015 nuclear deal, the U.N. nuclear watchdog confirmed Tuesday in a report that also criticized Tehran for blocking access to suspected nuclear sites.

Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency reported a near-tripling of Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium just since November, with total holdings more than three times the 300-kilogram limit set by the nuclear accord. Iran also substantially increased the number of machines it is using to enrich uranium, the agency said, allowing it to make more of the nuclear fuel faster.

IMO,

if there is no god, the a prayer has the same affect as Lou Tice's affirmations. Those affirmations are done to keep a person on point and going forward.

If there is a G-D, you have no idea what they do.


FTFY

I can see someone is Jewish or claims to be and yet knows not G-D.

Too many 'tells' dude & your poetry sucks ass.
