China seals off cities near North Korea as new coronavirus clusters grow

Jilin city, the second-largest city in Jilin province, saw bus and rail services halted and residential compounds closed off on Wednesday after the discovery of six new cases of infection. Recently reopened schools were closed again.

Overall, at least 22 infections spread across three cities in two provinces — Jilin city and Shulan in Jilin province, and Shenyang city in Liaoning province...

While there has been no confirmed link between the cluster and North Korea, the cities’ proximity to the isolated country has ignited fears that an outbreak there is spilling over to China. North Korea has yet to confirm any covid-19 infections, but the U.S. military said it suspects there are cases, and Kim Jong Un’s regime has accepted help from other nations to fight the virus.

The virus has most likely been rampant in North Korea.

Funny how none of these filthy viruses seem to come out of...oh I don’t know...Denmark, Switzerland, Poland. What is it about China?

“The virus has most likely been rampant in North Korea”.

The NK Army probably takes care of the COVID 19 cases. They shoot them and solve the problem.
