North Korea tally surpasses 1 million sick amid COVID-19 surge | CBC News

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un criticized officials over slow medicine deliveries and mobilized the military to respond to a surge in suspected COVID-19 infections, as his nation struggled to contain what it's referring to as a "fever" that has reportedly killed dozens and sickened nearly a million others in a span of three days.

Kim has acknowledged that the fast-spreading fever, highly likely driven by COVID-19, is causing "great upheaval" in the country, and outside experts say the true scale of the outbreak is likely much bigger than what's described in the state-controlled media. In this photo from October 20, 2021, employees spray disinfectant as part of preventative measures against the Covid-19 coronavirus at the Yokjon Department Store in Pyongyang, North Korea.While neighbouring South Korea and China have offered to send medical supplies and other help, experts say it's too late to innoculate the North's 26 million people.

North Korea imposed a nationwide lockdown last Thursday to control its first acknowledged COVID-19 outbreak. North Korea imposed what it described as maximum preventive measures that restricted travel between cities and counties, and Kim ordered public health officials, teachers and others to identify people with fevers so they could be quarantined.Infection numbers could be three times higher

Jung said they are possibly adding multiple days of cases into their single-day counts following delays.

When you become Supreme Leader of a nation, then you can critique.

Lol

If he’s looking for someone to blame over the suffering of his people, he needs to look inward.

He’s just mad that Covid could kill more North Koreans than he can.

he also need a winde poo limosinne but whit a mask

So why do we care so much about COVID-19 in a country where ppl are starving because of their tyrant leader?

Um, micromanager that he is, doesn't he control that?

If I lived in North Korea I would have bigger worries than Covid

Dont care.. evil or slaves.. theyre not worthy of care.. not anymore.
