People Returning from Europe Helping to Spread Coronavirus in South Korea

If people from Europe are spreading the coronavirus so much you would think the Moon administration would either restrict travel or put people into mandatory quarantine:

In Busan, a 24-year-old Korean male who recently traveled around Europe, including Italy, which now has the second-highest number of infections after China, tested positive for the coronavirus on March 10 upon his return to Korea, Busan officials said.

The man left for Europe on Feb. 9, returned to Korea on March 4 and started showing symptoms from March 9. Nevertheless, he dined at a restaurant, went to a coffee shop and rode the Busan subway until he finally tested positive on March 10.  

A 44-year-old Korean woman in Gwangju likewise traveled to Europe for two weeks earlier this month and came down with a cough last Wednesday. She arrived in Korea last Thursday but was able to pass through customs at Incheon International Airport because her temperature was within the normal range, said Gwangju officials. She took an airport limousine from Incheon to Gwangju, which was a four-hour ride, and mostly stayed home till she tested positive for the virus last Saturday. 

In Seoul, a French female national who arrived in Korea on March 9 started showing symptoms of a cough last Wednesday and turned out positive on Friday. Her male Korean friend was also tested and turned out positive Saturday. Seoul officials believe the French national contracted the disease from her father in France, who informed his daughter last Thursday that he was infected.

Doesn’t sound like a lot to me. In fact, it sounds like some isolated cases. And since you already have massive community spread, why single out a hapless few? But then politicians tend to have very little faith that people, given the facts, will be able to understand things and so try to pin things on a few blameable objects. Are politicians really examples of human nature as such, or should we think of them as a related species of Homo Sapiens?

Did any of these people share a spray bottle with others?

I’m sure they shared banchans and soup too.

J6, yes, Koreans are a very warm people who were, frankly, right to be xenophobic… Thankfully, I got to visit when it wasn’t as necessary…

From the sound of things, they took the spray bottle, but the nozzle in their mouth, sprayed and then handed it to the next person to do same and the next…
Might as well have shared soiled kleenex.

Liz, you’re okay. I was just tossing “gallows-humor” into the mix.
