BAGHDAD - Through decades of conflict, Dr Haidar Hantoush has watched wounded soldiers and civilians flood into Iraq’s emergency wards. But he’s never been so scared.
“With coronavirus, there’s no safe place. We don’t know when the number of cases will explode.... Even the world’s best healthcare systems can’t cope.” So far, Iraq has counted more than 450 coronavirus cases and 40 deaths, most of them in the past week. But doctors worry that those figures barely scratch the surface of an epidemic that may already be raging undetected across crowded cities.“There are many unrecorded cases. People aren’t getting tested or taking it seriously,” Hantoush said.
Thousands of Iraqis participated in the most recent of Iraq’s major pilgrimages, to the shrine of a Shi’ite Imam in Baghdad, where they crowded in defiance of the curfew. “If this gets bigger it could be beyond our control. We could have 1,000 cases next week. There’s a lack of ventilators and other equipment - maybe 10 ventilators at our hospital.”
