North Korea has over 3.5 million infected and just 70 deaths, the lowest death rate in any country, lower than seasonal flu.
I mean "they are not really dying from COVID if you don't count them". No Panic, no images of overcrowded hospitals or people dying.
Dr. Tedros may complain "buh my COVID numbers, I need my COVID numbers" but who cares.

Its kind of hard for me to believe their numbers since we don't know how big is their testing capacity and what policies are they enacting. So I think their case numbers might just be estimates.

I think their testing capabilities are fairly good because they probably got a lot of support from China, whose testing capabilities are the best in the world. BUT OF COURSE IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, but that's not the point, you trade off science and statistics for "living with COVID".​

My parents' apartment in Beijing has notice posted at the building entrance urging older people to vaccinate, and announcing that from a unspecified future date unvaccinated people will be barred from public parks and supermarkets "to protect their health and well-being".
Hey, that's one of our ideas from previous discussions on how to get the elderly to vaccinate. Maybe there is someone from the government of China watching this forum for ideas :oops:, jk.
