Either they've had it a long time and lied about it, and just admitted it now. Or they indeed have their first cases and deaths due to a fully unvaccinated population Edited May 14, 2022 by melthebell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Of course its nonsense that there have been no Covid deaths in the DPRK.  Or do mean that the BBC are talking? or Perhaps the North Korean leadership talking nonsense? or Maybe that North Korea have already had thousands or millions of cases? or Even that North Korea have had no cases of covid? or Possibly that in North Korea nobody has died have already had thousands or millions of cases?  Give us a clue Billy.

Chekhov   488 #8612 Posted May 14, 2022 North Korea: Covid outbreak a great disaster, says Kim Jong-un https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-61446907  This is a classic example of how the world has, and still is, over reacting to Covid. We have a country, N Korea, in which huge numbers of people die young because of their appallingly in efficient economy and the fact they spend huge amounts on their armed forces. In fact famines are not unknown...... Mainly because of these factors N Korea has an average age in the mid 30s and so is not actually in much danger of huge numbers of dead from Covid, yet they are saying it's a "great disaster" for them. No it isn't, relative to the disaster that is Kim Jong-un Covid will be as nothing. Yet more disproportionate BS.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yet more disproportionate BS.  and in the real world Its population of 25 million is vulnerable due to the lack of a vaccination programme and poor healthcare system.  And on Saturday, state media reported that there had been half a million cases of unexplained fever in recent weeks. The country has limited testing capabilities so most Covid cases are not confirmed.  but cos we dont live there, we will never know whats the truth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yet more disproportionate BS.  Life expectancy in North Korea is estimated(2021)as being 72 years(male 68, female76). The USA, UK, China, South Korea have offered free and unconditional support as the concern is that an unvaccinated, malnourished population with very little appropriate healthcare will suffer badly. Two years of border closures, the imposition of draconian quarantine rules which would include market closures could contribute further.
