North Korea issues shoot-to-kill orders to prevent virus: US

North Korean authorities have issued shoot-to-kill orders to prevent the coronavirus entering the country from China, according to the commander of US forces in the South.

The impoverished North -- whose crumbling health system would struggle to cope with a major virus outbreak -- has not confirmed a single case of the disease that has swept the world since first emerging in China, the North's key ally.

Pyongyang closed its border with China in January to try to prevent contamination, and in July state media said it had raised its state of emergency to the maximum level.

The North introduced a new "buffer zone, one or two kilometers up on the Chinese border," Abrams told an online conference organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington on Thursday.

Is probably masturbating while snorting Adderall and looking at Kimmys photo. Let's hope he has an autoerotic incident that sends him to hell.

5. I wouldn't be surprised if North Korea already has COVID anyway

Half their population could die off, and if it didn't include too many high-level officials, we'd probably only find out by carefully analyzing satellite photos for changes in crop harvests an industrial emissions.
