Apparently he also put in a personal appearance on DPRK Media to.
satellite photos showed activity around one of his known retreats. Including both his Armored train and luxury Yacht. It seems like he retreated for personal health reasons.
Kim Jong Un can’t afford to be seen as ill and doesn’t seem to have body doubles like many other despots. In the past he has been seen smoking and is well known for his body weight and bad habits. As such retreats are probably his best choice to try and keep his god like image.

Personally, for someone in NK being chosen as his double would actually be a plus. Cause they would be actually required to eat till they are fat. Just imagine that, cheese for days.

I whole heartily hope that Canada and U.S. will really invoke the Magnitsky Act, so China's crooks and corrupt officials can no longer escape to North America, although in reality, it's probably just a stunt performed by Canada's conservatives during the election season:

Canada’s conservative right is taking straight aim at China, and not holding back.

The latest to fire torpedoes, is Conservative leadership hopeful Peter MacKay, who is calling for use of the Magnitsky Act if specific individuals in China can be identified as having suppressed information related to Covid-19, Canadian Press reported.
...

The act allows for sanctions against foreign nationals “responsible for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.”

The legislation is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a Moscow lawyer who was tortured and died in a Moscow prison after uncovering fraud in Russia, Canadian Press reported.
...

Since 2016, the bill, which applies globally, authorizes the US to sanction those who it sees as human rights offenders, freeze their assets, and ban them from entering the US.

The less Chinese allowed to come to North America, the better - it will give all Chinese a wake-up call.

That's great that is, I saw on one of the news headlines and I quote from memory. "Large chunk of China's space rocket hurling towards New York, missed New York by 15 minutes!" Gee. Let me see 15minutes equates to 4000miles!

Found it, here it is, the infamous daily mail!

F-22 jet crashes in Florida

Washington (CNN)A US F-22 stealth fighter jet crashed during a "routine training flight" in Florida Friday, the Air Force said in a statement.
The pilot who has not been named was able to eject from the aircraft safely and was transported to a local hospital on Eglin Air Force Base "for observation and evaluation," according to the Air Force. "He is currently in stable condition," the statement said.

The crash took place on a training range 12 miles northeast of the base and the Air Force said "there was no loss of life or civilian property damage related to the accident."

However the US military only has about 183 of the aircraft in its inventory, according to an Air Force fact sheet.
Each jet costs approximately $143 million and production of F-22s ceased in 2011 as the Pentagon focused instead on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Given the limited number of F-22s in the military's inventory, the loss of a jet in a crash will have a significant impact.
Several F-22s stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida were damaged during in 2018.
