#irancorona all of this, why?. The regime hid the initial cases since:.1) it was just before election and needed high turnout.2) due to political need, did not stop flights to china.3) source seems to becleric students from china arrived in Qom.4) did not close religious shrines.

5) instead of providing information on the gravity of the risks to the public, played down and resorted to the same tactic of rhetoric “we will fight and beat it”. Now it has spread everywhere. The world now has an example on what failure to contain the virus can do.

@IranIntl Due to shortage of #COVID2019 kits, the protocol for requesting the test reported to be:. 1) CBC and CRP.2) If low lymphocyte and CRP + => CT Scan.3) if CT shows ground glass => test. Problem is ground glass is commonly terminal status.
به بیان ساده: اگر مسئولی گفت: «کرونایی شدم»، از او بپرسید آیا این مراحل برای ایشان طی شده یا خیر؟.اگر طی نشده و مستقیماً «تست کرونا» داده، جنایت کرده.
