At present, the high spread rate of the epidemic in Iran is closely related to people's living habits and social interests. Of course, the lack of attention in the early stage is also an objective reality, but this is not a unique phenomenon in Iran. You know, apart from China, few countries attach great importance to the possible harm caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, so COVID-19 broke out soon after the confirmed cases were discovered, and spread in Iran with lightning speed. It is no exaggeration to say that before the confirmed cases were discovered, there was probably a large-scale transmission, but it was impossible to be sure without testing.
Of course, years of international sanctions have led to the backwardness of Iran's medical conditions and its inability to cope with the epidemic, which is also the reason why the infection rate is in the forefront. Both detection reagents, medical equipment and even conventional drugs are scarce resources in Iran. It is hard to imagine how far the COVID-19 epidemic would develop in Iran without the assistance of a few countries such as China and Russia. Thankfully, with all-round assistance from China, the Iranian epidemic situation has gradually returned to a stable state.
As a reference, we can find that the appearance of COVID-19 is a severe test for all mankind. No matter Wuhan in the early stage of the epidemic, or South Korea, Iran and Italy later, people lacked the necessary understanding of it, which led to insufficient attention in major European and American countries, which led to a global outbreak. Therefore, human beings should strengthen cooperation in the face of nature, so as to minimize the loss and casualty rate in the face of epidemic.
