    Just short excerpts from the article:

    "An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from the new coronavirus, as other top officials in the country are confirmed to be infected, according to multiple reports on Monday."
    "His death comes after the government on Monday rejected help from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who announced last week the U.S. was concerned Iran may have covered up details on the spread of the virus.
    "We neither count on such help nor are we ready to accept verbal help," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said during a briefing on Monday. He added the country has always been "suspicious" over American intentions, and that the U.S. government was trying to weaken Iranians' spirits over the outbreak."


    "The country has closed schools and universities due to COVID-19, but religious Shiite shrines have remained open. Last week, Iranians were captured licking some of the shrines in defiance of the coronavirus."

    :shocked::icon_jawdrop::eyepopping:


    So I did a little research on "shrine licking" Just wondering if this is an old or new thing.


    Iranians lick shrines and say they are ‘not scared of coronavirus’
    Shocking footage has emerged showing Iranian worshippers licking shrines in defiance of a killer coronavirus outbreak. Officials have confirmed 978 cases in Iran and 54 deaths, the highest death toll of any country outside China. But religious leaders continue reject advice from the Health Ministry to close holy sites to help stop the spread of infection. Worrying videos posted to social media show worshippers saying they ‘don’t care what happens’ and ‘I am not scared of coronavirus’. A child is even hailed for licking a shrine in the northern city of Qom, which has become the epicentre for the Iranian outbreak. Journalist Masih Alinejed shared the videos and said the Iranian regime is ‘endangering the lives of Iranians and the world’ by keeping the holy sites open.

    A whole new meaning to the term "window licker".

    The outbreak in Iran and with a top official makes me wonder what has been going on behind the scenes with these two fascist countries.

    Waiting to hear how wonderful the Iranian Healthcare system is or to hear Trump being blamed for those deaths because of the sanctions.

    It could be interesting to see if/how this shakes up the leadership, if folks at the top actually begin to die from coronavirus.

    Should the Chinese annihilate the Ayotallah's by way of this virus, that's a good that would have come from this.

    In Italy, the muslims ignored that large gatherings were prohibited due to the corona virus.

    They went to the mosque anyway, and the police literally dragged them out.

    Turkey has also released war refugees into Greece-that has the potential to spread the disease even further into europe.

    They should disinfect the shrines before they lick it, they need personal hygiene out there.
