North korea does get tourists every so often.

[Sheb]

Not entirely true. You do have NK scientists etc going abroad for conferences, and business travellers going to NK. Until recently, almost all French cartoons were partially made in NK.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

NK does indeed get a lot of tourism, and the interesting part of it all is that it seems to be wrenching them open somewhat because they want to attract more money from it. The tourist restrictions get lighter and lighter every year, though it's still a propaganda wash.

Behold, a method of cheaply and hopefully soon reliably detecting ebola.

Ah, good old GFP, what would we do without you?

We're still here! Erm... Until antibiotics stop being useful.

Antibiotics won't help against viruses. #thoughtyoushouldknow

Cholera is a bacterial infection #yolo #Iknowthisshit #Ihaven'tevenkilledtwoWHOdoctors

[FearfulJesuit]

You don't even need antibiotics for cholera. The standard cure for cholera is to drink gallons and gallons of medical-grade Gatorade until you've shat the bacterium out of your system completely.

Has Madagascar closed it's port yet ?

I'm surprised there are NK scientists at all tbh 

BTW and for the record: resistances are also a problem with viruses. To cite a few examples, there are strains of HSV and CMV resistant to acyclovir.

Also: HIV patients have to take a cocktail of drugs to prevent the rise of HIV strains resistant to antirretrovirals. This is why I am concerned about people afflicted with HIV that take their medication in an irregular manner: it's not just that they're harming themselves; they're also more infectious, and are likely carrying particularily nasty strains of HIV.

On a hilarious personal note one of my North American friends who'd just arrived in Britain brought with him an Murrican strain of flu which I'd never caught before, it's wrecking me fiercely whilst he's rather fine
I am RIP

Reverse smallpox revenge. RIP in peace.

They've got some fancy new science centres and even have their first private Uni funded by Evangelicals from USA and China
The technological ease in which information spreads (in part due to China's fuckhueg phone and black market phone manufacturing industries being right next door to North Korea) is forcing Kim to adapt and allow more information to North Korea, more in line with China
So before their scientists could make two potato and can now make three potato

Yeah but antibiotic resistances are not, it's just splitting hairs over antibiotics/antivirals

Also: HIV patients have to take a cocktail of drugs to prevent the rise of HIV strains resistant to antirretrovirals.

And not finishing courses / doctors giving out unnecessary medication / livestock medication

Reverse smallpox revenge. RIP in peace.

So this is how it ends

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm detecting high levels of North Korea in this thread. New North Korea thread?
