  1. I feel like the virus can cause the country a humanitarian crisis and their leadership can’t even do a single thing because they’re focused on missiles and war.

  2. Money for rockets but not medical care and food?

  6. Let Kim get the vaccines from China 🇨🇳 😂🤣

  7. Hey Everybody it's Korea's favorite thing to do it's no longer an excuse !!!!!! 😅🤣😅

  10. Go complain to the obiden chinese reps

  11. It took a virus to bring the hermit Kingdom into the open

  12. More people are executed by the regime than covid

  13. Only some libtard fake “news” organization like the DNC sponsored NBC would go along with North Korean lies.

  14. More garbage propaganda

  15. Your body has an immune system so there is that protection

  16. Mommy mommy they’re doing it again!!!

  17. What do You expect from a Communist Country that wants n help from the outside World!

  18. This is one way to get North Korea to the table. We are all affected by this virus. The whole world needs to look at how to help the world get together to make these things to works for all

  19. All the muscles in the world and he couldn't stop a virus.

  20. Fake news is concerned about RUSSIA FINLAND and NORTH KOREA ! America don't matter we are not important !

  21. Ist covid patient in North Korea 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I call BS.

  22. They can literally blame China. Its the only open border they have.

  23. I thought they just shot whoever got covid

  24. Oh please..they can get all the help they need when they want it..besides This virus is Not like first round!!!

  25. Just another 3rd world country with runaway COVID epidemic. They have no vaccine, and no medical care. Omicron is ultra contagious, so it will spread country wide. The death rate in 1st world countries is 1.5% but will be higher here. You can't believe the numbers the NK gov publishes, the number of cases is in millions, and thousands dead. But they don't care, or at least Kim doesn't and he is a majority of one.

  26. LOL!!! looks like we don't need to go to War with N.K. you can bet China gaved en the Virus directly thru food supply 😂
