'A near impossibility': Experts doubt North Korea's claim

of zero coronavirus cases

6:29 AM EST

"WASHINGTON – More than 200 countries and territories have reported coronavirus cases within their borders. One unlikely exception: North Korea, which claims to have zero infections despite its 880-mile border with China, where the virus first emerged before spreading across the globe.

"It's a near impossibility for them not to have cases," said Jung H. Pak, a former CIA analyst and North Korea expert with the Brookings Institution, a left-leaning Washington think tank.

China is North Korea's biggest trading partner, accounting for as much as 95% of the country's reported imports, according to 38 North, a website that tracks developments inside the so-called Hermit Kingdom.

"It is puzzling to see how a country that shares such close trading ties (albeit surreptitiously) with China, where the virus had its origin, has remained immune to such a pandemic," two Asia experts, Jagannath Panda and Jina Kim, wrote in an analysis Tuesday for 38 North."

Trump administration official said that “PRC numbers as reported today seem to be arithmetically impossible.”"

The Largest Ozone Hole Ever Recorded Over North Pole

"The massive ozone hole that formed over the North Pole has finally closed, scientists have announced.

Researchers from the European Union’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) who were tracking the record-breaking ozone hole over the Arctic tweeted last Thursday:

“The unprecedented 2020 Northern Hemisphere ozone hole has come to an end.”

The hole, which was the single largest such ozone hole ever detected in the arctic, first opened in late March as unusual wind conditions trapped frigid air over the North Pole for several consecutive weeks.

However, scientists took pains to point out that the closing of the hole has nothing to do with drop in emissions recorded across the world as a result of lockdown measures meant to curb the coronavirus."

US push for low-yield nukes makes atomic war MORE likely

"The US State Department’s case for tactical nuclear weapons is a case study in psychological projection not seen since the darkest days of the Cold War and its ever-present threat of world-ending atomic holocaust.

Back in February, the Pentagon announced the US Navy has fielded the first batch of W76-2 low-yield submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) warheads. A paper by the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, published last week, aimed to explain the reasoning behind this move and “debunk” the critics. The 10-page document was endorsed by the acting Under Secretary for arms control Christopher Ford, who hailed the missiles as “reducing net nuclear risks.”"
