I honestly doubt this is more than a bunch of conspiracists. Kim is authoritarian, not ignorant: why would he risk catching coronavirus in middle of a global pandemic under an embargo (with the economical and medical implications that this has) when he's the leader of a highly personalist system like Juche?
Edit: articles like this are, sadly, why some MLs end up trusting anything that comes from NK's government/the KCNA. The article even calls Kim overweight in order to push for this theory, something which Reuters would obviously never do with say Boris Johnson.
