| #2 Iran’s population has been rapidly aging since 1988 — the birthrate has dropped from about 7 to 1.6 now, well below replacement. One wonders if the Mullahs are looking at this as an Allah-sent opportunity to fix the problem. (Ditto China.) Though how much of Iran’s problem stems from the fad of shrine licking in the early days of this thing we’ll likely never know. |

| #1 back in Nov 2020, Iran averaged over 400 deaths per day (official figures) from Covid by late March 2021, the daily deaths were under 100 with the new wave of fatalities they are approaching 500 deaths per day again, this is the official figure Iran has used the Russian vaccine (Sputnik V), both of the Chinese vaccines (SinoVax and Sinopharm) and some of the EU vaccine (Astro-Z). However, less than 5% of the population has received the first dose. Compare it with India which is having 3k deaths per day from covid but has a population 15 times that of Iran. India produces more vaccine than any other country but almost all is exported per contract manufacturing agreement. India also makes their own vaccine, Covaxin but with a population of 1.3B, demand far, far, outpaces supply. |
