“Nothing has changed since February 25, 2020. There is no management of coronavirus. We have left the virus to roam free, and some people are benefiting from it. They do not care about the people who are dying by the thousands,” said a professor of statistics and epidemiology in Tehran Medical Sciences University, according to a Tuesday piece posted on the Javan website, an outlet affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
“[Deputy Health Minister Iraj] Harirchi has said that we should increase the official death toll by 250 or 300 percent. However, I say that you should increase the official death toll by seven-fold! According to stats I have received from various areas since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, I have realized that in several regions we can increase the official death toll up to seven-fold to realize the accrual stats. In September 2020, we had an estimated 350,000 fatalities; however, they have engineered the details,” he added.
“Currently, several Covid-19 patients have contracted a fungus disease, especially black fungal. They will be blind if we fail to provide Amphotericin B. This medicine is currently hard to find, and ten people have been infected with such a fungal in Tehran’s Khomeini Hospital, and they are in urgent need of Amphotericin B,” said an epidemiologist at the Khomeini Hospital on Tuesday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet affiliated with the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
“The daily death toll in Khuzestan was above 60 people in the past week, which is 1.7 time the national stats. 20 to 25 percent of the death cases were either in the emergency branch or in less than 24 hours after the patient was hospitalized,” said the head of the Khuzestan Health Center on Tuesday, according to the regime’s official IRNA news agency.
