The North Korean government under leader Kim Jong Un has ordered the execution of at least two people, locked down the capital of Pyongyang and implemented other measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, according to South Korean lawmakers who were briefed by members of the country's intelligence agency.

According to The Associated Press, lawmakers told reporters about the findings presented by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) in a private briefing.

The lawmakers said that Kim is concerned about the economic impact the pandemic could pose, and has also ordered overseas diplomats to not engage in any actions that could provoke the United States amid the transition to President-elect Joe Biden.

"We've been told that there have been orders to exercise utmost prudence in language," lawmaker Kim Byung-kee told reporters, according to NPR.

1. The World Must Stop This Regime

My better half said he's surprised trump didn't think of that and I replied I'm sure he did. After all, they're trying to change how some states execute those who have been given a death sentence. The new options will include firing squad, electrocution and death by poisonous gas. You know...just like the nazis,

3. I Honestly Already Considered That

I was thinking about how a country with no accountability & total control would manage the pandemic.
I thought a country like that would just execute infected people.
By the time that thought ended, I answered myself with North Korea.
This is probable, and unsurprising.
I believe these reports.

5. Well, China comes to mind.

North Korea was not my first thought.
