Thank you for injecting some sanity into the discussion. It seems people want to panic. A lot of drama to be had in panic.
One that everyone is concerned about (but the North Koreans won’t admit it) is the infection rate in that country. Remember, both Chinese business people and tourists travel to North Korea a lot, and there is a chance that North Koreans, already ravaged by a famished diet, could be extremely vulnerable to this disease.
I haven’t seen any credible claims of NK cases. I did see a claim around 2 or 3 weeks ago, but it was not substantiated, I believe.
If you hear of substantiated claims in NK, feel free to post.
I do know NK has been very actively moving to not allow the disease into the country, but do not know whether they have been successful.
An issue we don’t know was how many Chinese business people and tourists visited North Korea between December 2019 and January 2020 before North Korea essentially closed the border, since China is North Korea’s only major trading partner. Is Dandong, the biggest Chinese city bordering North Korea, on medical lockdown due to COVID-19?
