Here is the article and the pictures from the Satellite. I feel for these people and this nation. They were considered the enemies and it should not be like that. look at the pictures under the link www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/iran-coronavirus-outbreak-graves/?itid=hp_ed-picks_iran-0312%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ansTwo days after Iran declared its first cases of the novel coronavirus — in what would become one of the largest outbreaks of the illness outside of China — evidence of unusual activity appeared at a cemetery near where the infections emerged. At the Behesht-e Masoumeh complex in Qom, about 80 miles south of Tehran, the excavation of a new section of the graveyard began as early as Feb. 21, satellite images show, and then rapidly expanded as the virus spread. By the end of the month, two large trenches — their lengths totaling 100 yards — were visible at the site from space.

It has been a very bad year for Iranians and now this to occur. With such international travel, it is now what has been feared to occur a previous unknown virus to appear with out an available vaccine to battle it with.
At present, also bad times for the Iranian Government after the shoot down in short past of the Ukrainian airliner still in the public memory of distrust, and now this.
It is with hope and trust, the Iranians will over come this present issue in short time quick..

Karl,
yes. I remember the accident but this was also due to the threat from the US when the political tensions became very high. Iranians are considered the swear enemy, although their people are just like any other people and suffer like we all do. Iranian government was in the beginning minimizing the issue just like American government did, but then they had several people exposed to the virus, also among their government.
I think they try to be honest about their numbers because they need some money from international monetary fund.
