#6  or the refusal to treat for a fever in Qom

Or the necessary drugs being reserved for nomenklatura.

#5  newest WHO numbers for Iran are 43 infected 8 deaths

even without the 50 figure the fatality rate is high

I thought surely it was a virulent strain but it may be do to high rates of cigarette smoking or high rates of the use of intravenous drugs or the reinfection rate or the refusal to treat for a fever in Qom

#4  officials deny the '50 dead' figure

and some officials are dissing other officials and ordinary citizens are dissing the govt

#2  Or they are way under-reporting the number of cases. Maybe they're inshallah medical care is not correctly identifying the number of cases?
