Based on the available numbers, the Wuhan Coronavirus (COVID-19) has hit Iran particularly hard.
The regime’s failure to suspend travel from China in February and March turned the country into a pandemic hotspot. (RELATED: Did Secret Military Flights to China Spread Pandemic to Iran?)
While the average Iranian can’t expect relief from their government, a deadly rumor has spread like wildfire: drinking methanol could cure the virus.
Methyl alcohol poisoning has officially claimed the lives of more than 728 Iranians, that is, if you believe the numbers coming out of Tehran are accurate. (Hot Air)
If the Iranian government has been making any effort to let people know not to do this, they clearly haven’t been very effective in the job. I don’t know how surprised we should be by that news, though. After all, their government has already been found to have stolen literally a billion euros worth of aid and medical supplies that were intended for the citizens of Iran. Government officials have been found stealing personal protective medical equipment and then selling it on the black market to make a profit.
Meanwhile, the Iranian government announced today that they had found more than one thousand new cases of infection and recorded 71 additional deaths. That brings the official tally to 5,877 but, as I mentioned above, that’s only the numbers that Iran is willing to publicly release. It’s suspected that the real figures are far higher, but the Mullahs are downplaying them to make it seem as if their response hasn’t been such an unmitigated disaster.
They’re still trying to distract everyone from this catastrophe however they can. Most recently, they launched a new military satellite over the objections of both the United States and Israel. You know, rumor has it that the Pentagon’s nifty new secret military space shuttle has anti-satellite weapons on it. Maybe it’s time for them to get some real-world target practice in.

Bad as our government is/might be, the Iranian government is no doubt worse, a lot worse. Making matters worse, it is a religious dictatorship that shows no sign of improvement.
Sounds like a Democrat sponsored solution. Has Kerry been to Iran recently?
Poisoned to death is not my idea of how to cure a disease.
We should send them a few tanker loads of ammonia and Lysol to gargle.
