North Korea faces sudden COVID-19 outbreak

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is lashing out at his government's response to the coronavirus pandemic. North Korean health officials have reported at least 50 deaths, and they say more than 1.2 million people are experiencing fever-like symptoms. Scott Snyder, a senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, spoke with Tanya Rivero and Vladimir Duthiers about whether North Korea is capable of dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak of this scale.

Kim blaming the government when he's the government is hilarious...

[hectorlopez]

It's going to be a long decade of the 2020s.

They have the worst hospitals in the world I could only imagine what’s going on over there

I wonder how this will track. Could this make North Korea as bad as it was in the 1990's? China has a food shortage, and massive lockdowns already. And North is too "proud" to ask South for help.

*Welp talk about karma, the other day you talk about how your country is “covid free” then the next thing you know the whole country is down struggling to stand with its own legs*

[tomharemza]

Its not studding, they just can't hide it anymore

[artemishunter]

lol mobilizing the military to do what? using military weapons to fight covid 😭

[FKCENSORSHIP]

" a new variant has come out of North Korea, we all must lock down" right around Sept Oct. And will last til after the elections.
Just putting this here for future reference. 🤣

Yea sure, this is the first COVID 19 out break ever in North Korea and I have a river for sale too.

[unifiedvision]

I'm sure the North Korean people are reassured that their Great Leader is mobilizing the military to "help them".

[amyhartman]

Well If DPRK is going to be honest about their cases and outcomes in North Korea then the whole world can learn what actually happens when the virus spreads through out a Antivax nation. Whether that be better outcome, worse outcome or same outcome as nations that have a good portion of populations vaccinated. It would be a interesting study to pay attention to.

"North Korea faces sudden COVID-19 outbreak" so let's #ConvinceItForward

[davidturnbull]

Maybe rocketman can destroy the virus with his own missiles.

[fadisim]

Now America act like they're worried, Stop the drama plz

[easyviews]

Why does our news media say dumb stuff? Of course they could handle the situation goofball. Type of question is that?

[zaphod]

I have a hard time believing Kim cares that much about his people.

[jaydurych]

At least the North Koreans get to wear those nice black pajamas everywhere. If you’re going to have COVID, you might as well be comfortable.

[jh-bplz]

Hopefully NK finally falls. China will definitely attempt to take its control, but they have no justification. NK must be unified by South Korea.

0 to 1million in a week.


Well now....
go figure aye?

[nightmarestitcher]

Let's mobilize and pass a spending bill for, I don't know, 80 billion in aid to North Korea. We'll just print more money to cover it...
