North Korea Takes Ebola Fears To New And Dizzing Heights

North Korea isn't known for being subtle about anything but one had to figure they couldn't out fear and stupid the Republican Governors of New Jersey and Maine Chris Christie and Paul Le Page   you'd be wrong. 

It's not like traveling to North Korea is ever easy or that government minders follow you around like lost puppies but here is the government of Kim-Jong un imposing the most draconian Ebola measures in the world.


The Guardian was among the small number of foreigners allowed to fly in after the ban on tour groups but before the imposition of quarantine on all those entering from abroad. The fear is tangible; a factory and a research centre which journalists were due to visit cancelled the invitations, citing Ebola concerns.
“It’s Ebola hysteria,” said one foreigner in the country. “People are really scared.”
Each night, the country’s television news broadcasts a lengthy section on the disease, filling the screen with images of grieving families, ailing patients and medical workers in protective gear – as well as some coverage of its own measures, including footage of the session at the children’s hospital.
On Friday the state news agency KCNA announced in a one-sentence news report: “A brisk hygienic information service goes on in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to prevent the outbreak of Ebola.”
But the news bulletins appear to have alarmed rather than reassured many North Koreans.
