I want to say it makes sense they would be getting hit pretty hard but at the same time the news stirring up a fuss about how they’re suffering and can’t get adequate medical supplies sounds like a perfect story for them to want to spam out. It’s odd that I haven’t seen anything either way. I guess they’re doing fine over there..

trump has halted all immigration into the US. I’m not sure if this has any practical effect since people are not really moving across international borders anyways and the US is a particularly dangerous hot spot.
We do get a lot of illegal and illegal immigrant seasonal farm workers, and we could be headed for a collapse of our agricultural sector if we don’t let these workers in, if they even want to come.

North Korea only has 15 cases, going down to near zero soon

Idk. We got a lot of soldiers in crowded barracks and it doesn't seem like our military has been devastated by it particularly.
Just seems like if theres any country that would spare no mercy with controlling its population and stopping the spread, it's them. And like amanita said, I feel like if there was a massive problem it would be reported on. If we can get info that Kim just had a heart surgery that went bad, we would definitely be able to get an idea of whether or not the country is in a covid crisis too.

There’s probably enough people out of work right now that would take those fruit jobs, if they were allowed to..
That’s all outside of my area of expertise to be honest..

For the 3rd time - yes we know that because of SPIES... they're not reporters... we know the shit that the US military/CIA feeds us... or that their state propaganda entity posts themselves.
And while it's true that due to control - they -could- deal with it, I don't believe it would be the NK style to peep a word about the virus or take any particular precautions... Their state operates under a guise of continual normalcy no matter what happens, information that might cause panic or a perceived loss of normalcy isn't shared with the peasants. We hardly even know when a 500,000 of them die of starvation as of 2019 it was found they were recieving 3x less food a day than just 6 years ago. Though during the 90s sometimes they would only receive 30 grams a day.

They don't report things to the US populace unless there's a reason we should know that matches their agenda - as far as I see it - reporting on their shared misfortune would only cause us to pity and maybe even feel slight comraderie with them, and how does that serve the CIA right now?

Here's a typical NK dropped hint though from awhile back:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/north-korea-coronavirus-cases-new-hospital-a9411841.html
'Kim Jong Un has ordered the construction of a “modern general hospital” to be finished in the “shortest period”, despite claiming the country has zero cases of coronavirus infections. ...' 'to be finished before the 75th founding anniversary of the party' Rushing to finish new hospital.... because uhhh nationalism! We have 0 cases all is normal!

I dont really understand your point, do you mean NK would only report to the US populace what serves their agenda? Or the CIA? By that logic we wouldve never been told about the food shortages and how horrific living conditions there are. If anything, they would want us to sympathize with the people under an authoritarian regime. I just dont see any reason why it would be kept under wraps.

I'm saying both - CIA and NK only report on what is useful to either.
I don't know why or why not it would be - but I find it highly unlikely there is nothing going on there, especially given the very poor state of health amongst the population.

and somehow, the Alberta government, that complained just the other day that pointing out issues with faulty masks was 'politicizing a crisis' used this as an opportunity to complain about pipelines not getting done so that we could have shipped out the now worthless oil even faster?
 https://twitter.com/jkenney/status/1252092162126184449
oil companies are buying ships to store extra oil on and just leave sitting out at sea
an industry complaining about their product being worthless is paying for huge vessels to store more of it
what a bloated industry -- would not be surprised if a bounce-back takes place in the form of expanding renewable sectors

As far as the legal ones there is talk in Canada that the places our temporary foreign workers (TFWs) come from like Jamaica might not let them leave. Any county can set up exit checks and forbid its citizens from going to a virus hotspot. Our food production in Canada depends on those guys coming here from other countries, mostly legally
