We're now halfway through March and the most pessimistic of the
predictions that I've posting since the beginning of February, in
articles and in daily reports on the Generational Dynamics forum, are
coming to pass. America has declared a national emergency. Europe is
now the epicenter of the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic according to the
World Health Organization. European countries are closing their
borders to each other, locking down the worst hit cities, and
restricting travel to and from their countries. Many countries
outside Europe, including America and countries in Africa and Asia,
are restricting travel from European countries.
As of Thursday, Iran had confirmed about 10,000 cases of coronavirus,
with widespread suspicions that there were a lot more. Then, on
Friday, Iran reported over 1,000 new cases in the preceding 24 hours,
bringing the total number of infections to 11,364, with 85 more
deaths, bringing the total to 514.
The suspicions have been buttressed by satellite photos of the city of
Qom that show that long trenches have been dug apparently to serve as
mass graves for hundreds of bodies, coronavirus victims.
Qom is Iran's religious capital, about two hours from Tehran, with
several Shia seminaries run by leading Shia Muslim clerics. Within
Iran, Qom became the epicenter of the epidemic because pilgrims from
so many other Muslim countries visited Qom to pray and to study.
According to some reports, the virus was spread in Qom by a merchant
who travelled back and forth between Qom and Wuhan, the city in China
where Wuhan Coronavirus originated.
The Qom clerics did not want to restrict travel to or from Qom, but
instead entered a delusional state of total denial of what was going
on. The result was a major outbreak of coronavirus in Qom that
visitors spread to many other countries, including Azerbaijan,
Afghanistan, Bahrain, Canada, Georgia, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman,
Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates.

**** Iran's army to clear the streets, and monitor the population
****
One Iranian MP, Fatemeh Rahbar, a close advisor to the supreme leader
Khamenei, has already died of coronavirus, and several others have
been infected. Iranians have been asked to voluntarily remain at
home as much as possible, but they are ignoring these requests.
The streets and stores have been filled with shoppers, especially
in preparation for the Persian New Year, or Nowruz, that falls
on Friday, March 20.
On Thursday evening Khameini sent a letter to the head of Iran's
army, major general Mohammad Bagheri, instructing him to take
control of the situation.
On Friday, Bagheri announced that, within 24 hours, he will begin
using the military to limit crowds, and to clear people off the
streets, and out of shopping centers, shopping malls, grocery stores
and bazaars.
Furthermore, he announced that all citizens will be monitored and
checked coronavirus. According to Bagheri, "During the next 10 days,
the entire Iranian nation will be monitored once through cyberspace,
by phone and, if necessary, in person, and those suspected of being
ill will be fully identified."
You know, this is very serious stuff, but you can't help but laugh at
this delusional nonsense. Iran has a population of 81 million, and it
would take many months to perform this task. In the meantime, the
virus will continue spreading exponentially while this "monitoring" is
going on.
So we'll have to watch this unfold during the next couple of weeks.
It should be interesting.

**** Iran and China call Wuhan Coronavirus a US Army bioweapon
****
Government media in Iran, Russia and China have been publishing
accusations that the Wuhan Coronavirus was actually developed and
launched by the United States, specifically by the US Army, as a
bioweapon.
There have been numerous accusations of that type in China's social
media. On Thursday, Zhao Lijian, a foreign ministry spokesman, posted
the following on Twitter:
<QUOTE>"CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero
begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of
the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to
Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an
explanation!"<END QUOTE>
This is completely ridiculous on many levels, but deliciously
delusional because Zhao is accusing China's army of total
incompetence.
If the US Army brought the virus to Wuhan, then they completely fooled
the Chinese army (PLA). If what Zhao said is true, then Chinese army
soldiers were too busy screwing their mistresses and shooting up drugs
to notice that some US Army soldiers waltzed into Wuhan and deposited
the coronavirus bioweapon in the raw meat market where it spread to
the population. That's what totally incompetent losers China's army
would have to be, if you believe Zhao.
But it's worse than that. Zhao's accusations are so ridiculous that
no one outside of China takes them seriously. But apparently the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thugs are so delusional that they take
the accusations seriously. That means that the CCP thugs have no idea
what's going on in PLA. They apparently believe that the PLA is so
completely incompetent that US soldiers, if they wanted to, could make
fools of the Chinese soldiers by planting a bioweapon right under
their noses.
Based on Zhao's delusional accusations of the incompetence of China's
army, it's no wonder that the Chinese army was clobbered by the
Japanese army in World War II, and had to be saved by the American
army. The Japanese army will probably do it again in the next war,
and if they don't, then the Taiwanese army will clobber the Chinese
army. The Chinese army soldiers, shooting up drugs with their
mistresses, won't even know what's going on.
