...cus like I hear that and, well, you see the cover image. 
Is it just that so much more of the world is underdeveloped (overexploited) and it's just raw statistics? I guess I could see that explanation. But. Also. I've been to Pheonix.

DPRK is a hermit kingdom and also incapable of quarantining their entire country like a hermit kingdom.
They are so authoritarian that everyone has to obey commands or be launched from an anti-aircraft cannon, no way they could maintain a lockdown
They are so unproductive they spend all their time playing Potemkin Village in Pyongyang to fool 5 western tourists, no way they could pause economic activity for a lockdown
