Iran’s head of counter-coronavirus task force tests positive for deadly disease
From the piece:
"The head of Iran‘s counter-coronavirus taskforce has tested positive for coronavirus, a spokesperson for the country’s health ministry has said.
Iraj Harichi, the country’s deputy health minister, has been infected with the disease and placed under quarantine, the spokesperson added.
Mr Harichi appeared uncomfortable and could be seen sweating during a press conference on Monday.
After the announcement confirming Mr Harichi had the virus, the deputy health minister posted a video saying he had the disease and had quarantined himself at home.
He promised the authorities would defeat the virus, which is also known as Covid-19.
The death toll from the virus reached 17 in Iran, authorities announced on Tuesday - but a politician from the city of Qom has claimed as many as 50 people have died."
Fascinating. It's quite difficult, seemingly, to make heads or tails of how serious this outbreak has become, what with all the fear mongering in the global MSM and by the usual You Tube suspects. Are we on a worldwide descent into pandemic or is amped up talk of the virus an international money grab?
