Well, this is not really a brainer. NK's public health system had collapsed "totally" long time ago. General population is malnourished. One ebola patient gets through and infects others, this will turn into a wild fire. If hundreds die, panic spread among people, and the NK regime remain powerless, it could potentially upend the regime. From outsider's point of view, that may look overreacting. Considering their public health system, they have good reason to be on guard. They are not taking any chances.

If ebola was to come to NK. the people would try to
eat it, the state would arrest it, and Kim would have
his picture taken with it.

Time for Dennis to dance "Oppa Pyongyang style".

The question is raised. Is this really about ebola or is it something else? I don’t know but, take a look at this. Article opines that Kim has “carried out an extensive purge during his absence” from the public.

Most of the risk to NK is from Syrians, Iranians and Africans (from uranium mining countries). All it takes in one truly infected dude and poof!

Would be interesting to see what if anything is mentioned about Ebola in the North Korean press. Also, if diplomats in the four effected four nations in West Africa will even be allowed back to Pyongyang. Could be a good excuse for them to defect.
