Sixty newly enlisted soldiers tested positive for the new coronavirus at an Army boot camp in the central border town of Yeoncheon on Wednesday, the defense ministry said.

They underwent virus tests after one of their colleagues showed symptoms and tested positive earlier in the day, even though he tested negative in an initial test taken upon his entrance into the camp, according to the ministry. 

They all joined the military on Nov. 10. 

The figure is feared to grow, as the authorities are conducting tests for around 860 new enlistees.

Did they all go to those infamous gay clubs on the Halal street in Itaewon-dong?

Were they all hugged by members of that Shincheonji church in Daegu?

Or is it as I suspect, a combination of false positives on the basically unreliable tests and asymptomatic youth who caught a virus on the bus or train to Yeoncheon?

It’s a virus. We’re all going to be exposed to it. Stop sweating over it and be prepared.
