After holding to the widely doubted line for more than two years that it had a perfect record of keeping out the coronavirus, North Korea has imposed a nationwide lockdown to control its first acknowledged COVID-19 outbreak.

The outbreak forced leader Kim Jong-un to wear a mask in public likely for the first time since the start of the pandemic, but the scale of transmissions inside North Korea wasn't immediately known.

When a disease targets obese people, it must be scary being the only obese person in the whole country.

North Korea on Saturday reported 21 new deaths and 174,440 more people with fever symptoms as the country scrambles to slow the spread of COVID-19 across its unvaccinated population.

The new deaths and cases, which were from Friday, increased total numbers to 27 deaths and 524,440 illnesses amid a rapid spread of fever since late April.

North Korea said 243,630 people had recovered and 280,810 remained in quarantine. State media didn't specify how many of the fever cases and deaths were confirmed as COVID-19 infections.

The country imposed what it described as maximum preventive measures on Thursday after confirming its first COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic.

It had previously held for more than two years to a widely doubted claim of a perfect record keeping out the virus that has spread to nearly every place in the world.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during a meeting on anti-virus strategies on Saturday described the outbreak as a historically "great upheaval" and called for unity between the government and people to stabilize the outbreak as quickly as possible.

QUÉBEC....hey...est-il besoin de rappeler qu'aujourd'hui--le 14---c'est la fin du port du masque OBLIGATOIRE dans les lieux publics....beaucoup vont s'en réjouir....MAIS j'ai le sentiment que plusieurs vont quand même le conserver dans des endroits ou événements
ou il y a beaucoup d'affluence et proximité.....bon de rappeler que le virus sévit toujours et que malheureusement on peut en décéder...comme en témoigne les stats quotidiennes .

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un criticized officials over slow medicine deliveries and mobilized the military to respond to a surge in suspected COVID-19 infections, as his nation struggled to contain what it's referring to as a "fever" that has reportedly killed dozens and sickened nearly a million others in a span of three days.

Last week, North Korea acknowledged a COVID-19 outbreak for the first time and imposed a nationwide lockdown. Since then, the death toll has reached 50 and more than 1.2 million are feared sick.

That's a jump from last Friday, when six deaths were reported and 350,000 said to be ill.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Before acknowledging its first domestic COVID-19 cases, North Korea spent 2 1/2 years rejecting outside offers of vaccines and steadfastly claiming that its superior socialist system was protecting its 26 million people from "a malicious virus" that had killed millions around the world.

Its surprise admission this week has left many outsiders wondering just how bad things really are, and there's rising worry that it could cause a major humanitarian crisis in a country with one of the world's worst public medical infrastructures.

Maybe yes?, but....

Kin Yung Un... Son peuple de Corée du Nord n'a pas eu accès aux vaccins même si la Chine et la Russie en ont offerts. Mais ce type ne se prive de rien... Ça ne m'étonnerait pas qu'il se soit procuré des vaccins ARN pour lui et sa garde rapprochée. Comme Trump qui s'est fait vacciné en secret... Un ne vaut pas plus que l'autre.

… Earlier in the pandemic, experts thought that immunity from vaccination or previous infection would forestall most reinfections.
The Omicron variant dashed those hopes. Unlike previous variants, Omicron and its many descendants seem to have evolved to partially dodge immunity. That leaves everyone — even those who have been vaccinated multiple times — vulnerable to multiple infections.
“If we manage it the way that we manage it now, then most people will get infected with it at least a couple of times a year,” said Kristian Andersen, a virologist at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. “I would be very surprised if that’s not how it’s going to play out.”

The question is why the vaccination game is still going on?
