After days in the desert, Jared Leto learns about COVID-19 emergency and exhorts to follow safety measures.

With Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a global-sized challenge, it sounds at least unusual that somebody doesn’t know what’s going on. Unusual but, apparently, not impossible.

Few days ago, Jared Leto communicated via Twitter he was “dismayed by learning how much the world had changed during the days of his voluntary isolation”.

After “twelve days” of “meditation in the desert”, he “returned to a reality which” – it seems – “he struggled to recognise” (YouMovies.it).

In any case, after this moment of bewilderment, the American actor and musician “has decided to make his voice heard” on the social network, encouraging “all his fans to pay maximum attention and stay home to try to contain the infection”.

A psychological test to get your driving licence? That would be the condition now in Iran, if you have a tattoo.

If you are ready to assert that, by now, getting a tattoo cannot expose a person to any kind of prejudice or discrimination, also considering the body art diffusion, maybe this will make you hesitate for a moment.

In the Islamic Republic of Iran, “tattooed people” should “from now on take a psychological test in ordet to obtain their driving licence”.

Talking to “the state press agency IRNA” today, “a spokesperson of the police” would have described “tattoos” as “a sort of self-mutilation“, saying that “persons making that can possibly suffer from psychological disorders” (RTBF).

In Iran “tattoos” would be “considered […] a sign of the Western cultural invasion“. Something able to put “the Islamic values in danger” and, at this point, “raised to the rank of disease while their popularity grows among the young persons” (ibidem).
