COVID Cases in South Korea Sets New Daily Record

This may be a new daily record of 950 COVID cases for Korea, but compared to California’s daily rate of over 35,000 daily cases it is still quite low:

The daily number of new coronavirus cases in South Korea crossed the 900-mark on Saturday, reaching a record high nearly 11 months after the country reported its first virus case.

The country added 950 more COVID-19 cases, including 928 local infections, raising the total caseload to 41,736, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). 

Saturday’s daily caseload marks a sharp jump from 689 the previous day and is the highest mark since January, when the country reported its first confirmed COVID-19 case. The previous record was 909 tallied on Feb. 29. 

Cluster infections from private gatherings coupled with massive infections at a church and a hospital pushed up the tally.

Commie Moon asked for it.

Calamity Moon and his leftist cohorts got drunk on their supposed success of ‘K-방역’, and let things slide, resulting in the situation we have now.

Of course ‘K-방역’ was a fancy name for ‘let the people do their thing and spread the virus and we will do our best to test, trace, track, and isolate them’, so it’s not surprising that reality will eventually catch up.

How many movies have we seen where smugness gets wiped off corporate and government faces when they suddenly realize containment is an illusion?

“15 days to slow the spread” was over 270 days ago…

Again, if the disease is so deadly, why aren’t all the homeless dead?

So deadly you have to be tested to know you have it. Will be fact checked now with some main stream news article with the party line in it i am sure.

How else will you keep the simmering political protests suppressed? How is it that a small nation with a population that wears masks 100% has not stopped this disease? perhaps these numbers are fake???
