Iraq And Three Gulf States Are Now Reporting Their First Coronavirus Cases



Reuters: Three Gulf states, Iraq report first coronavirus cases, linked to Iran

DUBAI (Reuters) - Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Iraq on Monday recorded their first new coronavirus cases, all people who had been in Iran, which raised its toll from the disease to 12 dead and 61 infected.

Oman’s health ministry said two Omani women were diagnosed with the virus after arriving from Iran, while the sultanate’s civil aviation authority said on Monday it had halted all flights to the Islamic Republic.

Iraq said the new coronavirus was detected in an Iranian theology student in Najaf, who entered the country before it banned the entry of non-Iraqis coming from Iran.

Kuwait recorded the virus in three people among 700 who had been evacuated on Saturday from the Iranian city of Mashhad. They were a 53-year-old Kuwaiti man, a 61-year-old Saudi man and a 21-year-old whose nationality was unclear.

WNU Editor: Once this disease enters the refugee camps in the Middle East, it is going to be a nightmare. And as for what it will do to the people currently living in the warzones of Syria and Yemen where medical facilities are nonexistent .... a truly nightmare scenario.

A nightmare for sure, but for some a solution.

China has been using it as cover to lock up dissidents for health reasons of course.

Democrats are going to crib from their communist superiors.

Fred Lapides,

Study industrial hygiene. A good case for a 5 day work week could be made with or without government force.

Now the people, who did away with the 5 day work week & 7 day week were your typical liberals.

Remember the French Revolution? The 10 day week?

Please note the liberals destroyed Christianity (at least for awhile) and made up their own religion, The Cult of the Supreme Being.

Give up social security after you have already picked my pocket? Let me cash out with a lump sum for all the taxes paid with adjustment for inflation and I will gladly leave.


"look to trump and what that guy is doing"

People have reasonably opined that China has used the cover of the Corona virus outbreak to round up political dissidents in Hong Kong and elsewhere. What are we not talking about anymore. We are not talking about the Hong Kong Protests or the Uighurs.

Was I serious about Democrats taking crib notes? I was.

Look at Bernie operatives talking bout locking-up people in gulags.

Sanders Campaign Organizer: Free Education, Gulags Needed To "Re-Educate" You To Not Be A "F*cking Nazi"

It was not a one off.

Current & future Bernie voters in the primaries and general election need to apologize.

I've had relatives in gulags. Democrats need to get their heads out of their arses and stop with their temper tantrums and get some decent education. As of now they have none.


Are you going to grow or stay the curmudgeon that we all know and love?

Report: Officials Deny Russia Meddling to Support Trump

‘The Intelligence Doesn’t Say That’

NYT, CNN FORCED TO ADMIT Deep State Leak ‘Misleading’

On Sunday, the Times reported:

The [intelligence] officials now maintain that the House members either misheard or misinterpreted a key part of the briefing, and that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [ODNI] did not mean to say that it believes the Russians are currently intervening in the election explicitly to help President Trump.

Citing three unnamed national security officials, CNN added, “The U.S. does not have evidence that Russia’s interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump.”

As reported by Stanford Medical, It is really the ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 42 lbs lighter than we do.

(And actually, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret diet and absolutely EVERYTHING related to "HOW" they are eating.)

P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
