Hi Josiah, Very bad news. Here in Tehran schools and universities are closed and will remain closed for next few weeks! Everywhere is closed or semi-closed! There is shortage for masks, gloves, and disinfectants. This is a disaster!
Have you read the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eyes_of_Darkness? Strangely the novel explains a similar story like coronavisus in Wuhan China. The Wikipedia page described the virus name was Gorki-400 where in the reprint in 1989 changed to Wuhan-400. --Mohammad On Thursday, March 5, 2020 at 4:21:54 PM UTC+3:30, TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Ciao Gloom, Devil's Plaintiff, > > As the coronavirus takes grip in Italy, now, in my immediate area... > > Issues locally are ... > > -- Death rate in Italy are looking High (higher than Iran) mainly because > people live very long in Italy; and birth rate is low... result is Higher > mortality in vulnerable aged populations. > > -- All schools are closed to the middle of month. > > -- Many towns in Lombardy are on lock-down under virtual martial law. > Economically that is a disaster as the North is the centre of net > production Italy. > > -- The virus is fulminate, but largely silent, for most infected recover > without a beep.
