An advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from the new coronavirus, as other top officials in the country are confirmed to be infected, according to multiple reports on Monday.
The Iranian Health Ministry recorded 523 new cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the country's known total to 1,501. Its first case was reported less than two weeks ago.
Mohammad Mirmohammadi, 71, was an Expediency Council member who advised Khamenei and settled disputes between him and parliament. COVID-19 has already infected Iran's vice president and deputy health minister.
His death comes after the country rejected help from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday -- who announced last week the U.S. was concerned Iran may have covered up details on the spread of the virus.
"We neither count on such help nor are we ready to accept verbal help," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said during a briefing on Monday. He added the country has always been "suspicious" over American intentions, and that the U.S. government was trying to weaken Iranians' spirits over the outbreak.
Iran's mortality rate from the virus is roughly 5.5 percent, compared to an overall fatality rate of about 2 percent in China. The difference in rates has led people to suggest the number of infections in Iran is higher than what the country has officially reported.
The virus has killed at least 66 people, the highest death toll outside of China. The majority of 1,150 cases throughout the Middle East are linked back to the country.
Iran was preparing the possibility of testing "tens of thousands" of people following a spike of cases on Saturday.
The country has closed schools and universities due to COVID-19, but religious Shiite shrines have remained open. Last week, Iranians were captured licking some of the shrines in defiance of the coronavirus.
Most countries in the Middle East have limited or ceased travel to the country. It has the 4th highest infected total outside of China, South Korea, and Italy.
India on Monday announced two positive cases of COVID-19, according to the country's Ministry of Health. One person was found to be infected in New Delhi and had a travel history from Italy. The other was from the southern state of Telangana and had a travel history from Dubai.
Both patients are being closely monitored, the department said.
"Depending on the global evolving scenario, travel restrictions could be imposed as a precautionary measure," said Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare.
Intelligence agencies had concerns over India's lack of countermeasures to the virus and said its dense population could fuel a widespread outbreak, according to Reuters.

What coronavirus does to the body and how it can become severe
As cases of coronavirus spread around the world, doctors are learning more about what it does to the human body. Most cases are mild, but the illness — officially known as COVID-19 — can become severe if a person's immune system cannot repair damage to the lungs caused by the virus, CBS News medical contributor Dr. Tara Narula said. The disease has infected almost 89,000 people worldwide and killed more than 3,000 people, including two in the United States (actually 6 now -- DGX).
"The issue with COVID-19 is that this virus can affect the lower tract of your airways," Narula, a cardiologist at Northwell Health, said on "CBS This Morning" Monday. The virus can damage the cells that line the respiratory tract in the lungs, she explained. When that happens, "your immune system launches a response to try to clean up and repair."
But for some people, the immune system response "is so overwhelming, it's not in check," Narula said. If that's the case, the lungs can be flooded with fluid and cellular debris.
"Essentially the lungs start to drown, and that's a situation that can become a severe pneumonia. The pneumonia can then progress to what we call sepsis, where you can have a drop of blood pressure and multi-organ failure, and that's how it really causes death," she said.
In China, where the virus originated, 80% of cases have been mild, Narula said.
"Only about 14% were severe and even less were critical," she said.
Some research has estimated the death rate at about 2%, Narula said, but added that it's probably lower because there are likely more mild cases than what have been detected.
"In the grand scheme of things, for most people if they get it, it will end up being a mild disorder," she said.
Narula said the virus is transmitted through person-to-person contact by droplets.
"So if I cough or sneeze, those droplets can travel up to six feet and enter your mouth, or your nose or your lungs," she said. "Another way is if I cough or sneeze and it lands on a surface or an object and then you touch that same object or surface and touch your face."
Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. People could also have a headache, diarrhea, muscle aches, sore throat, runny nose and congestion, Narula said.
An infected person can pass on the virus to others even if they are not showing any symptoms.

^^^^
That's about a week or two old, by the way.
5000 people in the US have died from the flu in the past 2 weeks at the date of that video?!?

From several days ago. If you have the time, watch/listen to this. Covid-19 is not nearly as bad as the flu and pneumonia.

Don't have time to watch it. Surely the mortality rate is surely the best indicator? Though we do need to know the true infection rate to determine this.
Why would mortality rate be a bad indicator of how deadly something is? That's not a very smart assertion.
If you knew how many people have died from different communicable diseases in the past 2 months in the US alone, you would be absolutely stunned, like I am right now after having researched it at the CDC. Covid-19, while dangerous, is not nearly as deadly as what's already been killing people for decades and flying under the media's radar. It's just that we're used to these things being part of our lives that we just shrug it off, because we know how to avoid the majority of it. Covid-19 is not nearly as deadly as the media is portraying. We can avoid it in the same way that we avoid the common cold, because the virus is in the same family of viruses that cause the common cold. The only reason the media is hyping it up is because it's exotic, it's novel, and that will get them viewers. When they get viewers, they get money. They are not arbiters of truth. The CDC is telling people to be aware but not worried about this. I posted how to protect yourself against this above. Be aware of cleanliness, and be aware of the general observable health of the people around you. Stop being chicken little. The sky is not falling. Accept it. We're not all going to die.

I'm sure not everyone is a Dr. Drew fan but I love him, have since I was a young teen staying up late listening to Love Line secretly on my Sony Walkman under the sheets so my parents wouldn't know I was up listening to Carola and Drew talk smut and stuff. Still listen to his podcasts.

TL: DR: 23 member (8%) of Iran parliament members test positive for coronavirus
A lot of new cases in Canada are stemming back to Iran now too... they're not handling this well at all it seems, and their culture involves a lot of mingling in crowded public spaces, eating together, etc.
