“Some have interests in the coronavirus spreading. Officials are deliberately allowing people contract the virus and thus pocket riches through selling medicine… our health apparatus’ policy is to have people become ill, because their interest lies in people getting ill,” said the director of Iran’s House of Nurses on Sunday, according to the state-run Tejarat News outlet.
“Iran’s stats regarding the Covid-19 death toll and cases tops the world’s stats and we are far ahead of others. We are currently in extremely poor circumstances in comparison to other countries,” said the head of the Mashhad Medical Apparatus on Sunday, according to the state-run Resalat daily.
“Death is pouring down everywhere, like a volcano that has erupted… In the morning when the sun has yet to rise, the corpses are seen laid one after another. People wearing black with red eyes, all saying farewell to their loved ones. The entire city is in grief. Ambulances are in long lines and are transferring corpses one after another. There are so many dead bodies that even van taxis in Mashhad are being used to transfer them… There is no empty casket in the city. The daily death toll in the city of Mashhad is higher than 100. This is the official stats. Our count shows it is at least two or three times that,” according to a Sunday article published by the state-run Sharq daily.
