North Korea has declared a national emergency following its first officially acknowledged Covid-19 outbreak. The authoritarian regime is imposing tough quarantine measures after long claiming to have kept cases at zero throughout the pandemic.
North Korea’s ruling class, called the Workers’ Party of Korea “discussed the problem of coping with the quarantine crisis” during a meeting on Thursday, the state-run KCNA reported, with officials noting the country is currently seeing its “most severe national emergency incident” since the global health crisis kicked off in late 2019.
According to a report by RT, state-run media claimed that “the Politburo recognized that it was necessary to transition the national quarantine system to the maximum emergency quarantine system in response to the current situation,” the outlet continued, adding that party leaders “criticized the ignorance, laxity, irresponsibility, and incompetence of the quarantine sector, which failed to respond sensitively to the increasing number of mutated virus infections worldwide.”
Samples collected from patients in Pyongyang were confirmed to carry the Omicron BA.2 subvariant of the coronavirus, officials said. It’s now thought to be the dominant strain in some countries. The number of infections was not disclosed.
The government said it would impose stricter quarantine measures in “all institutions and all sectors of the country, including party, administrative and economic institutions at all levels,” though did not specify exactly what the new emergency system would entail. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un called for measures to “completely block the spread of malicious virus” and eradicate the outbreak “within the shortest period of time,” saying the country would “surely overcome the emergency” due to citizens’ “high awareness.”
Though officials ordered similar stepped-up quarantines following suspected cases in the past, Thursday’s statement marks the first public confirmation of a Covid-19 infection in North Korea, which long maintained to have kept its cases at zero with harsh border closures and other containment policies. -RT

In more important news: I did the flex seal spray thing between my deck boards and it worked very well! I have used it before for other things and it worked well too. So if your building a deck, flex seal spray is a good and easy way to protect your joists from rotting. Spray the tops and about an inch of the sides and you should be ok. You can also paint it when it’s cured. If you have a deck and it was crappily constructed you can help save it by spraying this in the joints of your planks on the joists. Use the coating method described in my other thread below a few articles down.
If you are using this in a high traffic area use 2-3 coats. The 2nd and 3rd will use a lot less paint. For the first coat I used 5 gallons for a 300 sq. foot deck ( old very weathered) . Spray the joists first of course. If your deck is made with nails you need to get some industrial torx head screws and an impact gun and tighten it up good then pound the pos nails back in. Same goes for your siding. If it is nailed on then re inforce it with screws and pound the nails back in. caulk the seams and repaint it. If you have bare wood from siding or trim coat it with caulk, let it cure and paint it then. Don’t paint bare wood spots. Caulk them first! The better you “seal” your wood, the longer it will last. I expect my cabin siding to last 50 years (already 15 years old). The best siding is 3/8 factory primed siding! GET FACTORY PRIMED SIDING! Everyone I know that used t-11 has had to rip it all off and replace it. Listen to the Genius, I know! If you could see my stuff in comparison to others crap you would agree! My siding is absolutely PERFECT and straight and the paint jobs last for 6 years to 10 years. 6 years is the south side that gets hammered by weather and sun.
Remember this… SCREWS, BOLTS, CAULK, PAINT, LAG BOLTS, JUST MAKE IT LIKE YOU WANT IT TO LAST FOREVER! Some people call me a piano builder but, it is not that at all. It is just using yer brain and doing a good job and having some pride in your work.
One thing that I have had some trouble with is getting spray paint to stick to metal. I even tried appliance epoxy paint. But then I found something that lasts a lot longer and is tougher too for about the same price. Spray on bedliner! There are a couple of companies that make it, available at most auto parts stores (napa is good). I repainted the roll bar/cage on my rhino and nothing would stick for long. I tried bedliner spray and it has held up for 3 years now! Great for touching up fenders, bumpers, anything black and metal. 2-3 times better than the best spray paint I have ever used….
For you religious people…
Of course there is “God” just not whatever your “religion” brands it as. I just call him father. He has steered my life for good and bad and it is all for the outcome. Pain, Pleasure, Love , Hate all of it. If I were on my own it would never have turned out the way it has. I am where I supposed to be right now. To much to post but yes, he is there and he guides you and puts things in your path to direct you. I don’t need some man made jesus crap or some man written book or some man telling me whats up. YOU are born with the connection…
So you believe you can somehow earn your way to heaven?
You must live a much more righteous life than I do,
Atonement and salvation trough Jesus, who was sent here to save man from his sins, is my only hope. I’m grateful God made it available to me.
Remember, the wages of sin, the consequences, is death not life.
So you know for a fact that a 2000 year old book written by men and edited many times is true? Sounds like something governments do.
You’re one of those.
He/she is not the only one, you prick. Get out of here with your self righteous BS. If there is a “God”, it sure as hell didn’t stop with creating just us…..look at everything our eyes have seen in space you dope head, not to mention all the ungodfull things our government is doing to it’s people and around the world. You are a moron sir/ma’am…..why don’t you open your “closed mind” and try to see it a different way…….or just stay stuck in your disbelief….your choice right?!?!? Stfu
