Thank you Queeen

The date on that article is March 18, which means 2 weeks ago.... we already have more accurate information on that ...

The article says :

[quote]We assume that the virus will infect around 50% of the world population; 20% of the cases will be severe, and 1-3% will result in deaths,” analysts from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) said in a note.[/quote]

They are assuming 50% will be infected which means 4 billion people, 20% of which will be severe, it means 800 million, (maximum) 3% of which will result to death... that means 24 million people will die..

Iran has 1% of the population of the world and that could mean 240k will die in Iran ..

That is only if no tratment is found, which we already know many labs are working on it and some patients are treated successfully by some medicines.....

So, please stop worrying and ask everyone to stay at home ... trust that all will be fine

@Soossie I hope their prediction is wrong. 2 of my relatives are infected so far. my fear is because I know the system in Iran and I dont trust they can handle this. only thing we can do is staying at home and wait.

@Queeen

I understand darling... yes... I agree, I cant trust the Ministry of Health and their system... but I trust everyone who is working day and night to save the patients... Doctors,nursez, and everyone providing services in hospitals...

Please dont worry... you know we have some of the best doctors here...
