This is a very interesting article illustrating the effectiveness of social distancing. The article shows 4 stimulations and the results of using a random sample of population.

1. A sample of a population without social distancing
2. Same sample of a population with social distancing
3. Using only one quarter of the sample of the population without social distancing
4. Using only one quarter of the sample of the population with social distancing

IranIans ignore order of social distancing, continue touching kissing the holy shrine at Qom. The number of infected and deaths continue to rise at high rate (see a separate blog).

Please take care and avoid crowd.

Thank you.
