Kim Jong-un only made a speech to declare victory over Covid three months after the outbreak.
Kim Jong-in's obsequious officials burst into tears when the dictator's sister revealed he was “severely ill”” fever” earlier this summer during the Covid outbreak in North Korea.
Kim Yo Jong told a crowded gathering on August 10 how the “Supreme Leader” suffered after the first confirmed infections in North Korea in May, sparking emotional scenes as uniformed henchmen wipe away tears.
This is reported by the Daily Mail.
The sycophants cheered and encouraged the dictator's sister when she took revenge on South Korea, claiming their neighbors deliberately infected them by sending contaminated postcards across the border, spreading the virus to a reported 4.8 million North Korean citizens.
< p>Kim Yo Jung said: “If the enemies continue to do dangerous stupid things that can bring the virus into our country, we will certainly respond not only to the eradication of the virus, but also to the destruction of the power of South Korea.
Her statement supported speculation that Kim may have contracted Covid, despite the country claiming for two years that no cases had been found prior to this year's outbreak, leading to a nationwide lockdown.
She claimed her brother had symptoms of a fever and praised his “vigorous and meticulous leadership” for performing an “epoch-making miracle” in the fight against COVID-19.
Experts say North Korea manipulated the scale of the outbreak to help Kim maintain absolute control over the country amid growing economic problems.
South Korea's Ministry of Unification, which handles inter-Korean affairs, released a statement deploring North Korea's “extremely disparaging and threatening comments” based on “meaningless statements”.
Kim Jong-un delivered a speech to announce a “surprising” victory over Covid only three months after its outbreak.
Kim said: “Since we started the maximum emergency campaign (in May), daily cases of fever that reached hundreds of thousands in the early days of the outbreak, dropped to below 90,000 a month later, and steadily declined, and no cases of fever suspected of being linked to the dangerous virus have been reported since July 29.
Since then, as North Korea acknowledged the Omicron virus outbreak in May, it reported 4.8 million “cases of fever” among its 26 million population, but identified only a small fraction of them as COVID-19. it is noted that “the outbreak raged for weeks, and only 74 people died.”
