The novel coronavirus pandemic has hit Iran especially hard.

Burial pits are being expanded so rapidly that they're visible from space, based on satellite images taken by the private space technology company Maxar Technologies and first reported by the Washington Post.

The images show that new trenches have been dug at a cemetery in Qom, Iran, and what appears to be a pile of lime, which is sometimes used in mass graves to prevent decay and manage odor.

Burial pits have grown so large amid a devastating coronavirus outbreak in Qom, Iran, that they're visible from space, satellite imagery shows.

Along with China and Italy, Iran has been hit especially hard by coronavirus.

Dozens of lawmakers have been infected, as have senior officials — including the Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri. And an adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died from the novel coronavirus.

This shows the danger of having a government that is not forthcoming with information, and does not take the threat seriously. Hopefully, our government's attitude is shifting to the point of caution. Also, with the information at hand, people can
take precautions, isolate themselves as much as feasible, be extra careful about visiting older people and people with compromised immune systems, etc etc etc.
