North Korea, Kim Jong-un and the Coronavirus

 

This repugnant rat came to power in 2011 - no, he wasn't elected - he took over from his hedonistic father, Kim Jong-il, and has ruled the totalitarian dictatorship ever since. I shall refrain from covering the countless ballistic missile tests and his pursuit of nuclear weapons. No, this article is all about Covid-19. As I understand it, North Korea is the only country in the world NOT to have rolled out an anti-vaccine programme. I mean, is this for real, and is it true? Yes, unfortunately, it is. This deathly virus has been with us from around the beginning of 2020 and many countries in the world have basically got it under control. However, as of today, there have been around 6.2 million deaths from the virus. As for North Korea, it leader hasn’t any vaccines and it was only on Friday it declared another death from Covid-19.

A report from State media has said “ . . . that a fever of unknown origin had been spreading ‘explosively’ across the nation since late April, infecting about 350,000 people.” This secretive state previously claimed to have completely wiped out the virus by sealing its borders. Oh really? And then I read that so-called ‘experts’ had warned of an impending Covid catastrophe fuelled by its failure to vaccinate, ailing the disastrous public health system and widespread malnutrition that has weakened much of its 25-million-strong population. I mean the majority of North Koreans have been living on peanuts and rice for years whilst its leader has been spending something in the region of 310 billion a year on bombs and nuclear creation. I mean this tells you everything you need to know about this rat who doesn’t give a monkey’s f*ck about his people!

Another statement I read, again issuing from the country’s State media said that on May 12th some 18,000 people with a ‘fever’ occurred nationwide and that around 187,800 people were being isolated and treated. Just 187,800? Knowing this country’s habit of lying about almost anything, I would assume that figure would be closer to 500,000! In what may have been a show of strength to distract from the Covid-19 crisis, Jong-un launched three short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea a couple of days ago which became the country’s 16th round of missile launches this year alone. My question is, how much is this costing the dictator’s economy, one that hasn’t grown in about ten years mostly due to Western sanctions.

And here is my last point. The narcissistic anarchist called on all provinces, cities and counties to lock down their areas to prevent the further spread of the ‘malicious virus’. No, he didn’t say it was Covid-19. What a prick - of course it’s Covid-19! He urged the public health authorities to monitor all patients with ‘fever symptoms’ and bolster medical supplies. Seemingly- and I didn’t know this until the other day - but he has not responded to the offers but in recent months from both China and the United Nations to help vaccinate his population. This tells you everything about this scumbag. And I shall repeat it again: he doesn’t give a shit about his people! But as I keep saying in this blog and elsewhere, karma always wins in the end!
