Now this from Reuters China sent team including medical experts to advise on North Korea’s Kim CNN did not report he was in grave danger. CNN said, Daily NK says, received a cardiovascular system procedure on April 12 and CNN is unable to independently confirm the report. CNN also said US intelligence was monitoring him being in grave danger, the same people who brought you the Iraq WMD war. Now if you want to say US intelligence and Daily NK are fake ... . |

Speculation and Rumours Satellite imagery finds likely Kim train amid health rumors SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A train likely belonging to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been parked at his compound on the country’s east coast since last week, satellite imagery showed, amid speculation about his health that has been caused, in part, by a long period out of the public eye. Kim Jong Un’s train has been parked at the Leadership Railway Station servicing his Wonsan compound since at least April 21, the website 38 North said Saturday, citing an analysis of recent satellite photos of the area. The website said that the approximately 250-meter (820-foot) -long train wasn’t present on April 15 but was present on both April 21 and 23. More images in the link. |

First step in consolidating power in DPRK is to execute the kids and the wife, then any general who doesn't kiss the ground you walk upon.Only if all those generals let her. ;-)https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/04/kim-jong-200426082026823.html wrote:If he's dead, and his sister likely takes over, then all bets are off when it comes to NK.While there are no credible reports saying Kim has died, the hashtag #KIMJONGUNDEAD has trended on social media in recent days. |

Thankfully some here don't understand the proper formula behind image tags and as a result I havn't had to look at their childish memes for quite some time now. :-) |

The coronavirus has now affected 212 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ But wait a minute. What about North Korea with 25 million inhabitants? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_North_Korea |

The United Nations calls for $ 1.5 billion in emergency aid for "infection-free" North Korea. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/fn-begar-1-5-miljard-i-nodhjalp-at-smittfritt-nordkorea The regime still claims that the country has not had a single case of covid-19, but the outside world is skeptical of what appears to be a clear understatement. North Korea is among the countries in the world that have taken vigorous measures to prevent the spread of the new corona virus. The secret regime claims that the country has so far not had a single case of Covid-19. But since February, unconfirmed data has leaked from anonymous sources in the country about both infected and dead, not least among soldiers. Meanwhile, North Korea's party newspaper Rodong Sinmun, as usual, praises Kim Jong-un's leader for everything he does. On the other hand, for the first time , the Workers' Party of Korea admits that Covid-19 can actually put pressure on the nation's continued struggle and development. |

When the dust settles, if the truth is ever known, I'd wager the fatality toll in both DPRK and China far exceeds that of the US, Russia and European Countries. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Still they hide that fact and saying everything is under control. Well both Russia and the US said also that everything is under control . In DPRK they say... Hehe:) 여기ì—는 ì•„ë¬´ë ‡ì§€ë„ ì•Šë‹¤. No covid here at all. |
