Kim Jong-un could be sheltering from Covid-19 pandemic, say US and Seoul

“I don’t think he is dead – if that was the case there would be a lot more identifiable movement,” Ishimaru, who has spoken recently to North Koreans near the Chinese border, told the Guardian. “One theory is that either he himself has the virus or people around him have it and he’s is sheltering.”

Kim Jong-un could be sheltering from Covid-19 pandemic, say US and Seoul

Some of this article from The Guardian talks about how maybe the heart attack/surgery was fake news. I’ve thought for awhile now that maybe Kim Jong-un has COVID-19 himself, and is recovering. He may be in bad shape, may be on a ventilator.

He is not in the best of shape. If he did get COVID-19, it would probably make him very ill. I think when this all shakes out, it will turn out he did get COVID-19.

Na

He's either dead or brain dead somewhere.....

There's no way a guy with an ego like his would let all this attention and speculation about his sister taking over go unanswered on the world stage....

I agree. I think he may be in a coma, brain dead from COVID-19. Now they’re trying to keep everything quiet until they can figure out the next steps.

It's reported that he had a stent fitted so he has a pre-existing heart condition so recuperating and sheltering from Corona at his resort would seem likely.

Yeah, and I wonder if after he had the stent, maybe they found out he had COVID-19. Who knows? I’ve just had a feeling that the heart thing was a red herring. North Korea claims they don’t have any cases of COVID-19. I know that’s bs, so if their leader got it, they definitely would not want that news getting out.

BINGO!!

a reply to: ChiefD

Well, that's a good point too.

Hmmm...

You'd think though that they'd head off all the speculation about his sister.

a reply to: ChiefD

He's a living God so I doubt he has Corona virus , it's NK so who knows what's going on but I think he'll pop up when this virus has past , he's like a pantomime villain.

He's a living God

That's sort of the question, though. Is he presently a living god, a dead god, or Schiavo'd god?

If he is trying to give up smoking and lose weight it might take a while.
.PK news is commemorating the first Chinese artificial earth satellite “Dongfanghong 1” launched in April 1970.
Also an article about weaponizing space which would put the older Chinese-Russian space platforms at risk.

"Dongfanghong" Sounds like an oriental porn star name.

He's DEAD.

Period.

a reply to: burdman30ott6

"Dongfanghong" translates to “The East Is shifted red” also the name of a three on the tree Chinese car produced from 1960-1969.
Kim Jong Un is said to be happily married to Ri Sol-ju who is the mother of several of his children.
The children are still under 10 so we shouldn't start thinking Hillary.
Hope it isn't a domestic dispute those can be worse than political Coups.

Yep. I wonder how long it’ll take before they say something.

When China starts to mass troops on the NK border, that is when announcement is made he is dead. Until troops are massed, he is alive.

The recovering from surgery sounded plausible to me but who knows for sure? I don't believe the fake news that N Korea doesn't have COVID-19:

North Korea insists it has no coronavirus cases, thanks to shutting borders, containment

-Isolated North Korea said it is Covid-19 free after it quarantined all arrivals, closed borders, blocked sea and air lanes, and disinfected all goods
-But a top US military commander said intelligence he had seen showed that Pyongyang’s assertion was untrue

If anyone DOESN'T have a covid problem, it's North Korea. I believe that.

They're the most isolated country with the least amount of tourism on the planet. They also have the ability to easily utilize measures that most of the world would cry about to stop the spread.

I found it interesting that in some pictures of North Korea, some people are wearing masks. Not too many, but I don’t think they would be wearing masks if there weren’t some cases there. Just an observation.

Didnt know which thread to put this on but since he apparently popped up at a ribbon event somewhere a couple of weeks ago, has he been seen since?
