Still Waters Posted August 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran's government claims, a BBC Persian service investigation has found. The government's own records appear to show almost 42,000 people died with Covid-19 symptoms up to 20 July, versus 14,405 reported by its health ministry. The number of people known to be infected is also almost double official figures: 451,024 as opposed to 278,827. The official numbers still make Iran the worst-hit in the Middle East. In recent weeks, it has suffered a second steep rise in the number of cases. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53598965 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted August 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I believe Iran is one of the sources for odd COVID-19 cures such as violet oil suppositories, and drinking camel urine. There was also the massive deaths from tainted alcohol given out as a cure for COVID-19. Here is a link for the violet oil. https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/03/bizarre-cures-for-coronavirus-in-iran.html Here is the story of 700 dead from tainted alcohol. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/coronavirus-iran-deaths-toxic-methanol-alcohol-fake-news-rumours-a9487801.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted August 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Probably the least surprising news of the week, although it's good to see some evidence emerging. Now for China and Russia... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hadith recommends drinking camel milk and urine as medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
