Talk about zero tolerance. Democrats are envious they can not do the same (to Trump supporters) /s

[riri]

That escalated quick

I think I’d rather visit Wuhan than go to a public bath in North Korea. Or anyway, it’s a toss up.

[Bitman]

I suspect that there will be no more quarantine violations in NK.

[bert]

Or........

One death is trivial compared to tens of thousands of deaths if the bug is released into the winter weakened North Korean population.

[GreenHornet]

A North Korean official was executed for going to a public bath while he was meant to be in quarantine

That's one way to keep health care costs down.

[super7man]

So... do we count this as a Coronavirus death or not?

This is getting complicated.

However; Fatboy must be terrified at the prospects of this virus getting loose in N. Korea. It will spread like wildfire and there will be nothing he can do about it. Well, other than shooting everybody with a fever.

I have to give them credit. Kim Jong-un knows that if it takes hold in his country they will be powerless to do anything about it. Unsavory as it is, this may well be the the best course of action for them.

[null and void]

What about the other people at the public bath?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If an execution saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[FreedomPoster]

That’s one way to get everyone’s attention and make them take this seriously!

wow!

[Zhang Fei]

If the North Korean media said it was sunny out, I’d double check to be sure.

[vetvetdoug]

That is a sure fire way to make sure the quarantine will be followed. That is taking a page from solid disease control procedures.

[Mopp4]

Wow - there’s another thread about a San Diego lab finding a vaccine in 3 hours. North Korea beats them by finding a vaccine without any research at all.....

[pas]

So is this official counted in the official death totals due to the virus?

[arthurus]

If Un wants to be truly safe he needs to have everyone who crosses the border from China immediately shot and buried on the spot after which the executioners should be shot. Airplanes coming from China should also be shot down before they can land.
