Million Covid cases feared in North Korea – BBC News

Published

on



North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has criticised health officials and ordered the army to help distribute medicine, as a wave of Covid cases sweeps through the country.

More than a million people have now been sickened by what Pyongyang is calling a “fever”, state media said.

Some 50 people have died, but it’s unclear how many of those suspected cases tested positive for Covid.

North Korea has only limited testing capacity, so few cases are confirmed.

    High case counts do NOT translate into high mortality or morbidity from Covid.

  19. @62Cristoforo

    January 17, 2024 at 2:39 pm

    The identified comorbidities for bad outcomes from Covid are mostly diseases of excess, like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. North Koreans are mostly affected by diseases of attrition, like famine, rickets and kwashiorkor. Besides the elderly I suspect their Covid morbidity rate will be very, very low, despite the very high number of positive cases.

    North Korea would be so advanced like it’s South Korean and Japanese counterparts if it was just Democratic. Hopefully that happens one day, yes the USA isn’t perfect but at least we have freedom and democracy (although pretty low compared with other developed nations). COVID-19 is hopefully the final crack in the Kim Dynasty and the final crack against the authoritarian regime that is the DPRK.

    I do not understand why people keep talking about north Korea?
    I would let them live the way that they choose just don't talk about them as like they never exist on this earth, because the more we talk about them the more they want to kill the whole world, let them die

    K is using international media to take and use our good nature and then twist and turn it against us to promote his deluded madness. its an impossible and dead end for the people of N K. Why would he share failure within his country to the world? My prediction is he will order millions of synovac from China (make a load of money) and then tell his people that this useless vaccine was given by the west and then blame us.

    If the leaders don't care? Why should the outside world care. Publishing information about the COVID-19 cases in the country is suspect. A way for collecting money to spend on missiles not food and medicine.

    Saint Paul's fixes cancer

    During my PH D work at Sheffield University 2000, we realised that ultrasound cause water to boil. Welcome to molecular nuclear fusion. For which professor Z refuses to take any credit. Curious, an academic not waiting to take credit for the students' ideas.

    1 H₂O+P+US→He+O+E

    I became aware that ultrasound scans of cancers, cause the emission of X rays. Of which there is no chemical source! You're doing biological molecular nuclear fusion. The most convenient type of physical molecular nuclear fusion is a lightening strike Every 3 minutes around the world there is a 1.5kmx2cm partial steam plasma.

    2 H₂O+P+TU→E²+L…Z-ray here E²=2.5×10³⁰ W

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
