North Korea probably overestimates its population like China does.

Just as long as Fauci can hang out whenever he wanted, it's all good. Forget about his financing of gain-of-function.

I am glad someone else acknowledges that China exaragtes its population. I bet India surpassed China about a decade ago.

I thought they were already dying of starvation as it was, before Covid.

And here we are running the orez who started the idea of mass lockdowns and big pharma blank check’s against Biden.
Makes you wonder what lab bill gates was at in China… election year requires so mething a lil more special.
Not sure why when trump gave them bumpstock ban, lockdowns, blank checks to big pharma, mail in ballots and a lil amnesty for wall funding.
