“Earlier this month, several hundred people from across India and abroad had attended the Islamic religious conference by the ‘Tableeghi Jamaat’ preachers at the Banglewali Masjid, the Mosque near the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah. Many cases of coronavirus deaths have now been traced to the Muslim event at the Banglewali Mosque which had seen a large gathering.”
This could also have to do with the Muslim preachers who are claiming that Muslims are going to be protected by Allah from the coronavirus.
“Delhi: Dozens of coronavirus cases across the country traced to Tablighi Jamat Mosque in Nizamuddin, hundreds in hospital, 2000 quarantined, area sealed off,” OpIndia, March 31, 2020:
Around 200 people from the Nizamuddin Dargah and surrounding areas were taken to various hospitals in Delhi on Monday after they showed suspected coronavirus symptoms. As per reports, the area around the Nizamuddin Dargah and the Mosque near it has been cordoned off by Delhi police.
Earlier this month, several hundred people from across India and abroad had attended the Islamic religious conference by the “Tableeghi Jamaat” preachers at the Banglewali Masjid, the Mosque near the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah. Many cases of coronavirus deaths have now been traced to the Muslim event at the Banglewali Mosque which had seen a large gathering. The Mosque is the It is [sic] the global centre for the Tablighi network and the origin of the Tablighi Jamaat…
The Mosque reportedly regularly hosts Islamic followers and preachers from all over India and from many nations in the world. From here, preachers are sent to Mosques all over India.
The event also saw visitors from Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan. On Thursday, a 65-year-old man had died of COVID-19 in Srinagar. He had also attended the same event. The man had reportedly first travelled to the Deoband seminary in UP before going back to Srinagar.
Many of the other attendees had also travelled to all over India to their respective home towns. After the event, people had reportedly left the premises in groups of 20-30 people in buses. While an Indonesian and 6 Saudi Arabian citizens were sent to their home countries, over 1200 people were still staying inside the Mosque, as per reports….
As per reports, the people from the Mosque are the largest group of people in India being tested for coronavirus. Contact tracing has already been started to identify people who may have been exposed in Delhi and Deoband.
The sheer number of gatherers at the religious event among coronavirus suspected cases is a cause of worry because not only have they travelled across Indian before the lockdown kicked in, but also the larger possibility of contact transmission all over India.

In overpopulated India and Pakistan, filled with poorly-educated, backward fanatical Muslims, a disastrous spread of this virus is practically inevitable.
DazzleMe says
Not hurting my feelings, mortimer!!
mortimer says
There will be a sudden drop in the number of “Tableeghi Jamaat” preachers very shortly.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
You are correct.
And to your point…
While working for the Department of Homeland Security, Philip Haney identified Tablighi Jamaat and the larger Deobandi movement freely transiting the United States.

Fine …. let them stay in their mosques until Allah chooses who is to live and who is to die. Of course, others from now on can choose to avoid gathering in large groups — if they wish.
DhanushDhari Misra says
The trouble is they are not confined to the mosques. They are moving around spreading the infection.
Keith says
That’s the least of the problem.
In an overcrowded nation like India, when the population starts dropping in the streets, who will clean up the bodies?
And then will come the next round of diseases as a result.
Boromir's Horn says
If Allah is going to protect them from the coronovirus, who’s going to protect them from the allahvirus?
DazzleMe says
LOL
Dude says
Right, God will protect them the same way He protected their prophet from his little old lady slave. HAH!
DUTCH in Atlanta says
I expect to see the same results from the fundamentalist preachers here in the US who insist upon to hold their services.

This was rare from the beginning, and pretty much nonexistent now–not so with often violent Muslims.
Dr Amarendra Jha says
Pakistani security analysts say that the original founders of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen terror group known for the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814 in 1999 *were members of Tablighi Jamaat.*
They are more dangerous than coronavirus even though they’re spreading it.

Agreed.

Just found an update on Chris Cuomo’s condition. Yes, covid-19 sounds pretty bad but I think an otherwise healthy person can make it through it. I’ve had chills, fevers and crazy dreams while I was sick from other things like the flu so I don’t see anything new there. At least he doesn’t report vomiting; I really hate when that happens.
He’s doing the smart thing and putting himself under his own quarantine. I may disagree with his political views but I still wish him a speedy recovery and I hope the rest of his family stays well.
Here is a link to an article about his illness:

Agreed, CogitoErgoSum–I don’t have to be a fan of his or his brother’s views to still wish him a speedy recovery.
Goofy says
Chills, fever and crazy dreams are indeed symptoms of Covid-19 infection but might equally well be related to his party affiliation.
OTTER says
This is Islam in action. A colonizing force that reduces any mind to absolute and complete idiocy and medievalism.

India: Dozens of coronavirus cases traced to single mosque, 2000 quarantined, area sealed off
…………….
Morons. How many people will suffer and die because of these idiots?
peter says
It is not that gathering against advisory that is hateful ,because many other co-coreligionists including HIndus have done it . But the fact that the participants spat on law enforcement officials and try viciously attacked them ,shows how spiteful and intentional their act is . They should be made to pay for their criminal deeds .
