Around 70 people in the hotel. Can't believe how come a hotel would fall in 2020

[MHSN 3,660]

sometimes it's hard to believe how come some people can be this stupid and reckless , everybody knows the danger but yet since we are getting close to the "new year holidays" there are people traveling to touristic cities, most of them already in critical conditions. they finally decided to start some kind of quarantine here. all roads to Northern provinces of Mazandaran and Gilan (next to Caspian sea) are blocked. some other provinces specially Isfahan and Southern provinces will do the same most probably from tomorrow. still no news of Tehran and Qom doing that,

 

of course we are having +1000 cases per day only because they are testing more people. the real number is probably much more but most people prefer to stay at home (if their situation is not that bad) and not go to the hospitals, they are not in the stats.

 

checking the stats, all 31 provinces are officially involved now. Alborz province (where I live) is 6th behind Tehran, Qom, Gilan, Mazandaran and Isfahan. all of them touristic provinces and yet you need military force to block the roads and stop people from traveling exactly to where they shouldn't go !

I have 13 messages on my phone from health ministry  almost 1 per day.

 

even though we are way past messaging people and tell them to "wash your hands" and "stay at home"

I can't even imagine all the situation your people is facing. I really hope that it will get under control very soon and get better.

Most people here agree with you

 

Then again, most people are also going to be like "you ain't gonna tell me where I have to cough and how long I've got to wash my hands, fuck you" anyway

Damn.

Another daily "win" for Italy. I was sure today was going to be Iran's day, but no.

 

I can't believe Trieste is only like 50 km away. Here everything pretty much remains normal...

How’d you rate your performance today? “Well, we really thought we’d lose 2 parliament members, but we only lost 1 at the end of the day. You know it’s a bit disappointing, but what can you do. Props to Italy for really performing under pressure today. Not country can infect a continent the way they can. Clearly we’ve just been outmatched by an opponent.”

Exactly, same situation here. I can't avoid wondering if this is a good choice, since Italians and Iranians are now seen as infectors and our economies will suffer for months or even years.

 

I just lost a 2 weeks job in Saudi Arabia because they don't want me to enter their country

First case of coronavirus in my hometown, in a middle school.

I work literally 5 minutes from where I live, and now our workplace has opened a second facility which would make my commute 2 hours. I hope I am not forced to go there lol
