North Korea locks down capital due to ‘respiratory illness’ outbreak
France24 ^ | January 25, 2023

North Korea has ordered a five-day lockdown in the capital over "respiratory illness", a report said Wednesday, in what appears to be the first citywide restrictions since the country declared victory over Covid-19 in August 2022.

Residents of Pyongyang have been ordered to stay in their homes from Wednesday to Sunday and must submit to multiple temperature checks each day, Seoul-based specialist site NK News reported, citing a government notice.

The notice did not mention Covid but said that the illnesses currently spreading in the capital included the common cold, the report said.

The government order comes a day after NK News, citing sources in Pyongyang, reported that people in the city appeared to be stocking up on goods in anticipation of a lockdown.

It is unclear if other areas have imposed similar lockdowns and state media has not announced any new measures.

Experts suggested that North Korea's largest city is likely dealing with the re-emergence of Covid.

Glenn Beck did a special on media and the democrat party. He did banking as well.

Well-worth the 17 minute investment (first 17 minutes)

A sign of the times we live in.


(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)
