#1 I support this message. In particular, IMO, Iranian nuclear scientists need to pray at the shrine for inspiration.

#6 Well, it's hard to see how we lose on this one. How did Trump pull this off? Did he get some Infinity stones? They are really on a roll over there ...

Well, that and the cash the visitors leave in the gift shop.

Oh wait, that's for the kleptocracy.

#9 Mohammad Saeedi ... is urging Iranians to visit the city’s main religious site, calling it a “place of healing” despite the #coronavirus outbreak in the city.

Sweartogod, I laughed out loud reading that. But hey, if the Purell thing doesn't work, we can always irradiate the place.

#11 In that case they need to import (only) a few Kenyan/Nigerian home health care workers.

#12 will they be squirting Purell on the kaaba stone?

Only if the pilgrims drink it first.

I don't think Iran is lying or at least the lying is actually a relatively minor problem.

I'm pretty sure they have a major problem understanding how to do diagnosis (which is not as simple as it seems), how to sequester people who have been diagnosed as positive, how to categorize a death that is related to the virus but seems not directly caused, etc.
