Brown man...go out and get lost...

Corona virus spreading =/= govt is incompetent.

There are multiple factors at play at once and govt is just 1 factor. stop simple minded thinking.

It's a major factor. The point is almost every country took major precautions so criticism against the government is of course valid. There's an outbreak in Italy too but it was quickly identified and being contained. China has also done a good job even though they were late to react. It's so obvious that if you can't see it then I am wasting my time.

Well , some scientist claims till next year 40-70 percentage of humans will infected by it ....

Till next year we continue to make more joke about it

It is different.

If the gov tries all what it can do to prevent pandemia, then

Corona virus spreading =/= govt is incompetent.

If the gov do nothing or just give the infected an excel sheet to write in who they met (happen in germany). then

Corona virus spreading = govt is incompetent.

There are eyewitness in Iran that says busses loaded with mullahs are being evacuated to hotels in cities that are less affected by the virus.

And apparently. The news that government had banned sales of masks and would distribute it free is not true. Its almost impossible to find masks and price of a hand sanitizer is 75 000 tomans

Chinese scientists identify two strains of the coronavirus, indicating it’s already mutated at least once

Key Points

• 
  
  
  • The more aggressive type of virus was found to be prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan — the Chinese city where COVID-19 was first detected late last year.
  • But the frequency of this type of virus has since decreased from early January, the scientists said.
  • Researchers cautioned that data examined in the study was still “very limited.”

This can explain why Iran, South Korea and Italy have been affected worse than other countries. And this increases the chance of COVID-19 being a biological weapon.

You see, COVID-19 is a coronavirus, like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Coronaviruses are all RNA viruses (rather than DNA viruses), RNA viruses have very high rate of mutation compared to DNA viruses because RNA viruses lack the correction mechanisms that DNA viruses have in their replication. This is the reason for mutation of COVID-19, Not because it's a biological weapon.

Why are RNA virus mutation rates so damn high?

As a person with background in medicine, I'd rather believe a peer-reviewed article published in an academic journal by scientists from a leading country like China than some clown from Sri Lanka LOL

so I ask you to leave Iran and its problems to Iranians alone.

Forum encourages open discussion & quality posting regardless of any nationality. Posts found violating rules, will be dealt accordingly for which, members needs to report and move on. Disagreement on a topic doesn't warrant such reaction nor any consideration to isolate.

@Uguduwa is permanently banned for several times one of his/her banned IDs is @Azizam . His account is even deleted because he made several IDs at the same time.

Leave that to be handled by Team. Just don't issue such generalized statements.

South Korea is affected because of a super spreader attending a tightly packed cult place of worship. Iran is affected because of pure incompetence. What a clown show you people are. Facepalm!!

The problem is not not those incompetent buffoons in power, The problem is these imbeciles who don't know any better, Yet they continue to spew every kind of bullsh!t they can so that to justify the incompetency of those lying sack of sh!ts in power and give them a free path to go off the hook. These imbecile halfwits are the real reason that we have so many problems, Always have been, Always will be.

As hard as we Iranians are on our government (with good reasons) ..some governments simply are in complete denial.
Egypt and Turkey are two examples...
Egypt has two reported case (both non Egyptians foreign nationals) ..yet 17 tourists in canada US and Europe who have returned from Egypt have tested positive..and yet not a single Egyptian native is infected!!!!!!..The same story in Turkey...so either these populations are super human or their governments are so effective that rest of humanity has to learn from them...(spoiler...reports of any infection in the above mentioned countries are forbidden!).

LOL. Look at this clown trying to teach me biology. You need to learn basics of critical thinking first before you teach biology lol
Influenza has been there for thousands of years, it was discovered 90 years ago and yet there are 4 types of influenza overall. This new corona virus has been there for like 3 months and there are already two types with supposedly radically different behaviors. Basically all protein production in a cell depends on RNA. If viable mutations were that easy to happen, our bodies and appearances would've changed every few months lol

The origin of SARS itself is a hot topic for conspiracy theorists. Nobody knows where SARS came from in the first place.

Our government is selfish, incompetent and doesn't give a shit about us. To be fair though, not unlike other governments. But I have no doubt Turkey is lying about there being no cases in their country. When Iran is affected so bad, with all the traffic between our countries, it's impossible for it to not spread to Turkey.

Add Israel to the list. They're quarantining hundreds of people every week, yet they report only 3 confirmed cases. Egypt, Turkey and Israel all depend on tourism for survival. Probably that's why. And the UAE too.
