North Korea Claims “Runaway” from South Korea Brought Back Coronavirus
It looks like North Korea has found a way to blame South Korea for coronavirus cases in their country:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un convened an emergency politburo meeting of the Workers’ Party and adopted the “maximum emergency system” against coronavirus after a defector returned home from South Korea with virus symptoms, state media reported Sunday.
During the meeting held on Saturday, Kim also said he took “the preemptive measure of totally blocking Kaesong” after the “runaway” returned to the border city on July 19 after crossing the military demarcation line, three years after fleeing to the South, the Korean Central News Agency said.

You can read more at the link, but the coronavirus has likely entered North Korea a long time ago from North Koreans moving back and forth across the Chinese border. The Kim regime claims there has been no coronavirus cases which few people believe. Now they can come out and claim they actually do have coronavirus cases and the South Koreans are to blame for it.
By the way has DMZ border security gotten so weak that people can just walk across over to Kaeseong now?
Apparently, the guy swam back, after going through a drainage pipe.
He was wanted for questioning after he allegedly r*ped another North Korean refugee.
Read an article today about it. Guy’s name was Kim, no other details. But he was the same guy who swam south to South Korea across the sea border near Kaesong, so it should be easy to figure out who.
Read the article on my work computer, which can’t connect to RokDrop. Sorry for no links.
The guy had more in cash than I do. Some local official is enjoying those Benjamins right now.
