Corona death rate in US worse than Iran's

What is happening is that you get sick, call you doctor and he/she tells you to stay home. Your infection is not confirmed with a test and you don't gain access to medical care unless you start having breathing difficulty. Your infection is not even booked as a confirmed case.

So, the number of actually infected people is unknowable. If you cannot estimate the number of infected people it is impossible to calculate an accurate mortality rate for the disease.

Period. Full stop. End of story.

Mortality based on hospital admissions will be inaccurate because only acute cases are being admitted. The actual mortality rate will be much lower.

Yeh, the other thing that has been going on is that in many/most states the testing protocol is/has been that you test first for Influenza B which is highly prevalent and if the test positive for Type B then the assumption is that you have the flu and do not have covid. Now some of the rocket surgeons are discovering that many patients had both. So they sent you home telling you that you just had the flu and unless you developed a serious case of covid they never found out otherwise, although you probably infected others during your recovery.

Can’t scream at how bad things are if you dilute the percentages. Notice percentage of population is never mentioned, just actual numbers. That being said one person dying is bad, specially for the family but it’s obvious the evening news is being orchestrated to paint everything in the worst possible light.
 
Why am I not surprised who was behind it.. let Iran get money from Russia, Syria, EU..other places that do not feel like Iran is paying groups to kill their people. Let China who sent the virus to Iran and is close allies with them send them billions in aid. Let the IMF or World Bank lend them money. Since when must we step up today as the only source of money for Iran.


This is the issue the Dems want to fall on their sword over?

In late March, a group of Democratic lawmakers — among them Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), and Rashida Tlaib (MI), and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin calling for the easing of U.S. sanctions on Iran during the coronavirus pandemic, a request that was dead on arrival. Iran has since requested $5 billion in aid from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In response to the Trump administration indicating that they have no intention of allowing the terror-sponsoring state to get the massive infusion of money, Sen. Feinstein sent her own letter on Thursday expressing her disappointment.

Problem is, as of my last readings, the sanctions extend to medical supplies & drugs. So Iran not being able to buy masks or ventilators from Europe because the EU is beholden to American treaties, is pure BS.

Wrong.

Not surprising that the tard who prays for dead Americans cries big tears for the Iranian regime, which cares nothing about Iranians.
 
The Coronavirus Is Absolutely No Excuse to Lift Sanctions on Iran

Tehran’s record of diverting humanitarian goods to fund its terrorist operations is also well documented. The State Department last week reported that in July 2019, “one billion euros intended for medical supplies ‘disappeared’ and another $170 million dollars allocated for medical goods were instead spent on tobacco.” In 2018, the Treasury Department revealed that an Iranian medical and pharmaceutical company was being used to facilitate illicit payments to Russia in a scheme to help Syria finance purchases of oil. In the years leading up to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, Turkey’s Halkbank infamously helped facilitate billions of dollars of illicit transactions on behalf of Tehran using fake invoices for fictitious humanitarian goods.

While Iran’s leaders disregard the welfare of their people, the United States is committed to enabling the flow of humanitarian goods.

While Iran’s leaders disregard the welfare of their people, the United States is committed to enabling the flow of humanitarian goods. Even as it exerts maximum pressure on Iran, Washington has permitted several Iranian banks to remain on the SWIFT financial messaging system to facilitate humanitarian trade. The U.S. Treasury and the Swiss government established a humanitarian banking channel backed by rigorous oversight to prevent the regime from diverting money and goods away from the Iranian people. Tens of billions of dollars of Iranian oil revenue sitting in foreign escrow accounts are available to fund the import of humanitarian goods. Indeed, that’s how Iran imported $15 billion in essential goods and medicine in the past year, according to the governor of the Central Bank of Iran.
