That's not really relevant, is it?

Not in this case  It is when media misuses the terms all the time which sadly and annoyingly they do (at least here) by all the time going "the coronavirus this" and "the coronavirus that" instead of actually mentioning the virus and/or disease

And here is your proof that some people will stop drinking Corona beer due to fears of being infected.

Those people may be infected with that Brazilian yaravirus that only infects amoeba

I read somewhere they are building a highway there and there's quite a lot of Chinese workers working on it. Now obviously I think you might know more about that than most non-Iranians, so: any word on that?

 

I know they are building another highway between Qom and Tehran (maybe it's done already ?! I didn't travel that path to see that myself) but not sure about Chinese workers, in Iran they mostly use Afghan workers because of being cheap.

googled about it and found nothing. so I guess the correct answer is "I don't know" that's possible but kind of unlikely.

The number of announced cases in Italy has almost been rising with the hour today

it seems what you read was indeed correct, there are Chinese workers in Qom (very surprising for me) and they are presumed to be the source !

 

on Tuesday Corona didn't exist in Iran (according to officials on that day), it was 5 cases on Thursday morning and 18 on Friday ! (4 death already) 11 of them in Qom but other 7 are also related to Qom.

 

and two Iranians traveling to Canada and Lebanon are also confirmed to be sick

Looking forward to the talk

Let’s just say I’m not focusing too much on the pronunciation at this time
