UN ‘deeply concerned’ by rapid spread of Covid in North Korea – BBC News
The United Nations Human Rights Office has said that it is deeply concerned about the apparent rapid transmission of Covid in North Korea.
It believes around 700,000 people are ill with the virus, and that the country’s health care system is not equipped to cope.
The country has done little to prepare, and has no vaccination programme.

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.

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.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Ik that Kim feels as if they don’t need any international assistance, they haven’t really trusted anyone else since their most reliable partners(The Soviet Union) split back in the early 90’s and if they want their regime to survive then they’re probably gonna have to learn to cooperate with the rest of the world and let us help them which Ik it’s the last thing they even wanna do or else eventually the regime will collapse and it’ll probably be in a state of civil war while NATO along w Japan and South Korea on the other side trying to reunify Korea and rescue civilians while China trying to stop them of course, really hope one day Korea can be reunified involving zero bloodshed at all, wars ain’t cheap at this point……

"
In the name of Allah the Exalted in Might, the One, the Overpowering, Lord of the heavens and earth and what is between them, the Lord and possessor of everything; that is Allah Lord of the worlds. Lo and behold, o non-Arabs and Arabs! You are certainly aware of what you are experiencing of the cosmic and covidious [a new term that emerged after the spread of coronavirus , and it means related to COVID] war, and the question that imposes itself to all non-Arabs and Arabs is: Who is behind this cosmic and covid-related war? As the intensity of Allaah's cosmic war of the lesser torment in 2020 and 2021 has increased, and what is yet to come is more intense for those who do not comprehend the fact that it is the truth from their Lord. And the question that imposes itself is: Why did the intensity of the war of the calamities of climate changes increase amid the declaration of the global war of corona? And behind this is wisdom from Allaah so the worlds may know the One behind the global war of corona is the same One behind the cosmic war; that is Allaah no God but Him, Lord of the kingdoms of both the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the Great Throne, if only you had any sense! And this is a far-reaching proof, but of no avail will be signs or warnings to people who do not believe in Allaah, Lord of the worlds"

Perhaps Covid could be the Kim dynasty’s downfall. If so that could be an absolute blessing for the North Korean people
