Looks like a 3% CFR already for S. Korea. Let's hope it doesn't go up. Anything is better than the crazy CFR coming out of Iran.

Iran is a basketcase. What is really worrying is the fact that nobody is telling the people on the ground the whole story. Iran is going to be the weak link that causes a pandemic to spread. The sanctions are crippling the people and limiting the ability to get something done. The autocratic leadership is in denial and the healthcare system is failing apart. Disaster in the making.

Bad for the whole world. Terrible for the Iranian people.

These are Persians! Wonderful people! From the cradle of civilization.

They swapped a dynastic tyrant for a religious tyrant, realised their mistake, put the dynastic tyrant back on the throne and then threw him out again only to get another, arguably worse, religious tyrant. That is enough trouble for any one country.

Oh well, the religious elite are mostly old. Perhaps the virus will lead to some good in the end.
How do you tell if a politician is lying?
His lips or pen are moving.

Just saw this on a twitter feed:
" S. Korea reports 161 more cases of new coronavirus, total now at 763
"
sorry if these numbers have been posted elsewhere
If it's to be - it's up to me!
