#1 The big picture is that WHO is desperate to remain on NKor's good side for one very good reason. Avian flu.

Yep, it's still here. Even though NKor has horrific epidemics that afflict major cities, of things like Typhoid and Scarlet fever, only the Avian flu has scared them enough to cooperate with the WHO. Just barely.

Which matters a great deal, because NKor is danger close to the most likely area of emergence of Avian flu in a lethal human to human form. So they *have* to be in on an epidemic ASAP.

Yes, it's a sh*t sandwich. But Amnesty International is too goddamn dumb to see the forest for the tortured and abused NKors.
