With over a hundred confirmed covid cases just 2.5 years into the pandemic, the DPRK is truly one of the worst-equipped nations to respond to a pandemic.

yeah, like, lib ideological reasons for pretending North Korea has warzone-level healthcare aside, surely you’d factor in that it has some of the hardest borders on earth vs Yemen & Somalia effectively having no manned border, right? not a big fan of those silly little lines but in terms of pandemic preparedness it’s pretty helpful to control who enters/leaves a country
