Shincheonji Church Leader’s Brother Dies from Coronavirus
Here is the latest on the spread of the coronavirus within the Shincheonji Church that is one of the mass infection locations in South Korea:
The Christian sect linked to more than half of South Korea’s COVID-19 infections said its leader’s brother received inpatient treatment for five days before dying at Daenam Hospital, where mass infections occurred.
Also, inpatients in the closed psychiatric ward of the hospital in Cheongdo, near Daegu, stayed out overnight, went out for appointments or had visitors on 25 occasions between Jan. 22 and Feb. 13, according to the hospital.
Most of the confirmed cases at Daenam Hospital were patients and health care workers in the psychiatric ward.
The hospital said it was still looking into how the psychiatric patients initially contracted the coronavirus.

With MERS in 2015, it was Samsung Hospital (just down the street from where I live) that was the problem. This time, it looks to be Daenam. Well… people seem to have either forgiven Samsung Hospital for its incompetence, or they’ve forgotten about its role in spreading MERS. The same will likely happen, alas, with Daenam.
I thought Trump would have taken this opportunity to ban all South Korean people from the US. It’s slightly surprising that he put it off for now. I guess we’ll have to wait a few more days for that.
Daenam looks like scenes out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest.
