Nypost ^ | 05/27/2022 | AP

According to North Korea, its fight against COVID-19 has been impressive: About 3.3 million people have been reported sick with fevers, but only 69 have died.

If all are coronavirus cases, that’s a fatality rate of 0.002%, something no other country, including the world’s richest, has achieved against a disease that has killed more than 6 million people.

If you’re outside NK and give voice to your sense of disbelief. you’re probably ok.

If you’re inside NK you better learn to suspend disbelief.

We could have had a Covid rate that low if our government hadn’t pushed the fake tests to sell the fake vaccines - and if t by Eb hadn’t paid hospitals tens of thousands of dollars per case to assign Covid as cause of death.

Maybe North Korea is using HCQ, Ivermectin, advising its citizens to boost vitamin D levels ect... You know things that were not done in the US.

North Korea shares Russia’s propagandists.

Lower life expectancy, saw the most vulnerable are already dead.

Could be true. These people eat bugs and rats and tree bark just to survive. Their immune systems must be super-charged!

--- "Our media is just like North Korea."

The NY posts wrings its hands: "If all are coronavirus cases, that's a fatality rate of 0.002%, something no other country, including the world's richest, has achieved against a disease that has killed more than 6 million people."

Fatality rate? Where has a fatality rate figured in the Western media as regards ANY nation of late? One hears of cases, infections, case fatality but not a mortality rate. Why not? Because, the narrative falls apart.

As of 27 May 2022, according to the "official" Johns Hopkins University's Corona Resource Center, "global deaths" are 6,285,686.

Source: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/

As of today, according to the "official" United States Census Bureau, the global population is 7,898,456,121.

Source: https://www.census.gov/popclock/world

( 6,285,686 global Covid deaths / 7,898,456,121 global population ) x 100 = 0.0796 percent mortality rate over 29 months of the "grim" and "deadly" pandemic.

Those that survived are a meager 99.92 percent of the global population.

If North Korea "official" data suggests a fatality rate of 0.002%, the worldwide -- GLOBAL -- fatality rate for rich and poor nations taken together is a 0.0796 percent mortality rate over 29 months of the "grim" and "deadly" pandemic

Such numbers are now in the "margin of error" and taxonomic malfeasance area. The "pandemic" has been an "event" of media and seemingly BIG numbers breathlessly reported by the media.

Add "from" to "with" and get "WHO?"

This from the same country that said their women’s soccer team was struck by lightning before a loss, and that their dear leader shot 11 holes-in-one during a single golf round. Their “news” is as believable as MSNBC.

Unlikely NK suffers the obesity comorbidity. And prolly not much inbound disease.
