You know, I had considered the idea that withe basically hermit like status of N Korea and their leader only really interacting with China that there was a chance that he could catch this virus. If he did, and let's say he had complications, they would definitely NOT blame China for this and would do everything in their power to make sure nobody knew it was coronavirus.
If he passes, does anyone know who his replacement would be? I don't even know if he has children or brothers. I know nothing about this guy.
He had one of his older brothers killed and has another older brother but he also has maybe one to three kids...
Also has a few sisters...

I thought it was his brother in law.
Either way, it's a precarious situation. He was worse than his father, will his kids be worse than him? If they are even bestowed the dictator position. Hell, they might even be in danger. I remember hearing the story that when Stalin as on his deathbed and suffering none of his underlings would call the doctor for fear how he might react either way, and, they all knew they wanted him gone.
I have no real information on his children but if one is picked then the wife most likely run the show with the Generals and Beijing backing until the child reaches of age to rule if the family is not wiped our by a General or his older brother in a coup...
Precisely. Or, a deal she can't refuse and she is allowed to live on a government salary in one of his houses somewhere and raise their children while the military "eases her pain by dealing with the burden of running the government". In countries like this where a dictator (and maybe even herself) make many enemies, it might be the best deal one gets.
I recall Gorbachev telling a story in which when he was basically pushed out of government that he expected to be executed, but instead, they gave him a pass to live, just as he had done for those before him who tried to overthrow him (at least I think that is what they tried to do if my memory serves me correctly). He said that he was quite surprised with this outcome and humbly accepted his fate of a life outside of power (but a life nonetheless).
