People are dying left and right. ‘Inside Iran fight his coronavirus including vent

The crown pandemic that spread to six continents, causing more than 7,000 deaths and several countries forced lockdowns at national level for the implementation has already produced remarkable images from Hazmat urban workers suited drive-through test centers in Seoul Acapellas crews balcony quarantine residents asked to Siena, Italy. But the defining images of Qom, early epicenter of the viral outbreak of the Iran might shots of body bags in one of the city without being aligned personally tend to morgues protective equipment or medical patients. In interviews with staff time in the nation’s front hardest hit in the Middle East painted a grim picture of a health system in the throes of a crisis that threatens their ability to overwhelm. While experts for critical errors in Iran at the beginning of the manipulation point of highly contagious viruses his experience now – in view of the strong impact on health systems and front vorderster workers – to find is already echoed around the world. “My uncle who is a doctor, called in tears from the hospital told me that they can not cope”, a laboratory scientist at one of the five public hospitals in Qom, said time was working on the phone March 14 of protective equipment during the first phase of the crisis is not present, he said, “so much so that for the first week of the only regular mask doctors and nurses used without gloves, no clothes, nothing else.” as of March 17 had Iran nearly 1,000 deaths COVID-19 registered (caused by the new crown disease). Already the highest toll says outside of China and Italy, the World Health Organization (WHO), the actual toll could be five times higher to be limited to serious cases because of testing. Two days earlier, said the dead to 724, the health ministry of the country that about 15% of those responsible for a disease whose death rate had died for appearing under 50 under 40 years, an unprecedented number of well below 1%. The COVID-19 outbreak in Qom, Iran’s religious capital and seat of the Higher Islamic Shiite religious and seminaries in the country, has metastasized to nearby cities such as Tehran, Isfahan and Kashan since. It hit the top of the government members of staff, infecting members of senior military level and clerical institutions and two vice presidents. On March 16, the Ayatollah Hashem Bathaie Golpayenagi, a member of the Assembly of Experts responsible for the selection of the next Supreme Leader, was the last high-level personnel to die. “People are dying left and right here. This is the case in all our hospitals of Qom,” the lab technician, said. Over time, other doctors respondents requested anonymity so he could speak freely, according to the Iranian authorities of some members of the hospital staff to open the phones. It is updated here with our daily newsletter crown. Iran initially mishandled Qom COVID-19 epidemic seems clear. Suspicions aroused international on February 24, when a legislator in Qom said that the same day, in the city of 50 deaths of Iranian Health Minister had announced a death toll of 12 people nationwide. Iran unprecedented mortality rate also asked the government claims the extent of the outbreak has been covered. This perception has been reinforced by the large number of high-profile people who tested positive for the disease, prompted speculation that millions of people will not be tested possibly infected. And day after the Iranian authorities banned flights from China under an offer, prevent the spread of the epidemic in early February a private airline Mahan Air of Iranian Revolutionary Guards properties continue air routes to and from the Chinese city. “There are millions of ways in which Iran this situation could be handled, but it seems some of the worst elected,” says Ariane Tabatabai, an Iran expert at the RAND Corporation in California, “by the beginning of misinformation for faced with the impossibility for travelers from China back, get everything that followed. “Officially, now has nearly 15,000 Iranians badly COVID 19, but the medical staff in Tehran say those numbers are a significant underestimate. “There is absolutely no doubt that the number of sufferers is much higher”, a pulmonologist contract in one of the leading private hospitals in the capital, TIME said on his return to work two weeks in self-quarantine after a patient’s disease. “Realistically, at this point, it referred to the change of disease cases in 1 million.” Another pulmonologist in Tehran Masih Daneshvari Hospital, the most important institution for respiratory diseases in the country, says time is impossible to make a precise figure for deaths linked to the crown because the official budget reflects only the minority who are screened and positive tests for the virus. “There are many people who do not know they are sick, you could die at any moment,” said the specialist, “and many people die from respiratory problems, which can not be immediately attributed to COVID19.” Iran has temporarily released about 85,000 prisoners including reducing some political prisoners in an attempt risk of the virus spreading through the country’s prisons, Iran’s Ministry of Justice said March 17 experts from the World Health Organization agree that the ‘ Iran, the infection rate is an underestimate, a fact we say, recognizing the Iranian leadership. Iran is not alone in this; Infection rates are almost everywhere the disease is present, underestimated, especially in countries where the test is not easily accessible, unless the patient is in the hospital. On March 13, when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a number of about 1,600 cases nationwide, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University reported Yahoo! News said he thought it was “between 50,000 and half a million cases now hospitals around the United States.” Increasing rate of infection in Iran is now probably a technician for a rapid improvement in testing capabilities. a support mission five-day World Health Organization (WHO) experts from Germany Robert Koch Institute and the Chinese Center for Disease Control contained visited, health centers and community outreach offices in Tehran and Qom arrived. When the team, Iran had only 22 testing laboratories, Rick Brennan, says the regional emergency team to guide WHO’s director for the region and the mission eastern Mediterranean. When they left on March 10, there were about 40 laboratories. During the WHO report for improving space is clear, “Our feeling is that [the Iranian leadership] the right things take precedence,” says Brennan TIME. “They are in a difficult situation, but we think that their goodwill adaptive, is appropriate.” According to WHO Iran stairs all the elements of its response to the crisis and better coordination between the authorities and municipalities. E ‘was also the production capacity has begun the conversion, including some military capacity of local production of personal protective equipment for the production shortfall meet. “Like any healthcare system in the world, the Iranian healthcare system overwhelmed,” said Brennan, “and like any other health care system, I think playing catch up.” Iran’s ability to achieve is hampered by a lack of medical equipment that his government about the crippling sanctions as part of the campaign “maximum pressure” of the White House-imposed guilt. In a letter to world leaders, on March 13, the President of Iran Rouhani urged the strategies of the international community at the United Nations to take to defeat the sanctions. “It ‘s time that the international community stood up to” the US’ungesetzliche and inhumane bullying, “he wrote. The Department of the US Treasury says that the sanctions do not prohibit humanitarian contributions to ease pressure on Iran crown, a request by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic as a “fraud.” for the first time in six years, Iran has also called on emergency funds from the international monetary Fund to fight crises help an appeal to the United States, which is located on the decision of the IMF organ, could possibly veto “maximum pressure. “Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, on March 12, tweeted a detailed list of the equipment of the Ministry of Health request. And ‘included 10 million personal protection kits and 160 million masks three layers among dozens of other items. “These are the needs that we have right now; but also what we need when the virus reaches its climax. “He said with cases in early April to catch up with his colleague culminating pulmonologist at the hospital Masih Daneshvari Covid19 that believes in private clinic. Iran’s leaders” saw from this initial arrogance pace now, that the scale of the challenge, “said Tabatabai EDGE. Neither the scope of this challenge even the tinkering of the leaders in charge of addressing Iran is one of a kind. the president Donald Trump has been heavily criticized for the lack of testing in the States to use its inconsistent messaging about the disease, and its attempts crisis for political gain. in Britain, hundreds of scientists have questioned the approach of prime Minister Boris Johnson, questioned the proposed measures on social distancing conceive ” insufficient “to blast disease. in fact, the tribe that Iran beleaguered health care system is likely to be mirrored elsewhere.” the image I have in iziato to use for the epicenters world is connected through volcanoes erupt Crown Ring of Fire “, says Daniel Lucy, an infectious disease physician and associate professor of infectious diseases at Georgetown University Medical Center. “The viral volcano erupts now in Seattle -. Remember to Wuhan, Bergamo, Madrid, and Qom” Please send any suggestions, cables and [email protected] stories.
