We are talking about the daily recorded fatalities in Iran being falsified.
Our total is 46,000, Belgium 9,800, Spain 28,000 and San Marino 42.

Excess death (above the normal average)
England has had the highest increase of every European country with excess deaths 7.5% higher.

Of the top 6 European cities with an increase of excess deaths, 3 are in England.

a little while ago someone asked - - - is this news?
and it was on my thread which someone humourlessly skewered since it was a thinly veiled Harry is a dockhead thread
( which kinda really isnt news sort of)

but - -- is this news - Iranians lying. Chinese lied. Trump ha ! where do I start ? - I mean it doesnt really matter - - - or does it?

Hi Gromit. Perhaps you thought I wouldn't see your sleight of hand there. I was referring as you know to gulliver's comment about death rates. Deaths per million population. Belgium's figure per million is higher than UK's.

I accept excess death rates are currently high here and I said that will be the better measure in the long run. But let's wait a while.

The OP is about total deaths, not death rates. It is not me tryIng to use sleight of hand it is you. Claiming San Marino with just 42 deaths (When we have 46,000) has the worst corona death record in Europe, is a proper con trick.

Iran !? Oh my ! Now there's a problem. Unlike, say, China ?

Bottom line - lots of noise & nobody cares.
Please see other threads re preventive measures.

// The OP is about total deaths, not death rates.//

yeah we maff people ( adders and fings) know that info can be normalised against head of population
the gt majority of AB - - - doesnt - - - and may very well believe if you say it that the whole of san marino is dead
empty city kind of - - - - except for the bodies and dogs - and carrion crows ( and rats)

[Peter Pedant]

and they found it out by
hacking the iranian govt computers
uncovering emails like
'far too many dead - - why dont we lie?'
