Corona in North Korea: Pride is deadlier than the virus – comment

No Corona in North Korea, anywhere. That’s what the regime said for two years. Now that doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Well, yes. At least officially there has been since the outbreak of the corona pandemic in North Korea not even one Case of Covid-19. In June 2020 there had already been a suspicion: a defector who had allegedly returned to the isolated Reich and who had not been able to endure it in the south. A lockdown was immediately imposed on the town of Kaesong, which is close to the border and has a population of around 300,000. And, of course, the “Supreme Leader” Kim Jong Un had personally presided over the party’s Politburo meeting at which that decision had been made. Again there are photos from a crisis meeting with Kim. But now the situation has probably changed so dramatically that a “serious national emergency” is even officially admitted.
