I MEAN, IF YOU CAN’T TRUST IRANIAN GOVERNMENT STATISTICS. . . Coronavirus: Iran cover-up of deaths revealed by data leak. “The number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran’s government claims, a BBC Persian service investigation has found. The government’s own records appear to show almost 42,000 people died with Covid-19 symptoms up to 20 July, versus 14,405 reported by its health ministry. The number of people known to be infected is also almost double official figures: 451,024 as opposed to 278,827. Iran has been one of the worst-hit countries outside China.”
