North Korea's first confirmed Coronavirus COVID 19 patient shot dead: report
Source: International Business Timesd (Singapore)
In what appears to be a rather drastic measure to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID 19), North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un allegedly sanctioned for the execution of the first North Korean patient tested positive for the deadly strain of the virus.
According to Secret Beijing, an anonymous social media commentator, who terms himself as an analyst on China affairs, the patient was shot dead. The story is still developing and there is still no clarity on the details of the patient executed by North Korea.
This comes as no surprise as under its dictator Kim Jong Un such harsh measures have been carried out for silliest of reasons.
Earlier last week, reports had suggested that a North Korean trade official was shot dead for leaving coronavirus quarantine to visit a public bath. According to South Korean media, the victim, who had returned to the country after a visit to China China, was executed for risking the spread of the deadly virus.

(52,126 posts)shooting covid-19 victims is certainly cruel, but its potential to actually be effective rules it out for this administration.
what this administration would be considering would be shooting random foreigners, or more likely, americans of foreign descent.
that way they can be equally cruel, but also remove any chance of it accidentally being effective.

That's what I was thinking.
