Coronavirus: Iran to mobilise 300,000 soldiers and volunteers as 23 MPs infected

[What Would Jesus Do?]

That's a Guardian headline.

Cool! Maybe we can beat Iran if their military lands in hospitals.

Seriously though, would we take advantage of this? I'm betting we would. Not a direct attack, but definitely more pressure to exacerbate the problems Iran is facing. It's what we do.

"About 8% of the Iranian parliament’s MPs have tested positive for the coronavirus, officials have said, as the country announced plans to mobilise 300,000 soldiers and volunteers against the deadliest outbreak of the epidemic outside China.

While China, where the virus originated, expressed hopes it was winning its battle and the World Health Organization (WHO) said it could be contained, Iran’s deputy speaker, Abdul Reza Misri, confirmed on Tuesday that 23 MPs had caught the illness."

It sounds like they need to stop holding meetings.

Trump’s flu has hurt Iran more than his military or policy actions.

It was supposed to cripple China, but Iran is a good consolation prize.

Wouldn't you like to know what's happening in N.Korea? Are they in big trouble, or is their isolation working to their advantage?

I would assume they are just killing people who cough.

Good plan. More medicines and food for the rest of them.
