Here you see a meathead at a Shi'a shrine [possibly Imam Reza in Mashhad or Masumeh in Qom] who says "they say it's infected with #CoVid19, so I lick it to absorb all the viruses] #Iran pic.twitter.com/QOB5xnStC2

Worshipers in the holy city of #Qom, center of the coronavirus spread in #Iran, lick shrines showing their lack of fear. God may be helps the brave, but certainly not the stupid. pic.twitter.com/X3JL6DbjVe

Faith defeats fear, few more lick the shrine in Qom, #Iran.
