South Korea Backs Away from Its Living with COVID Strategy; Implements New Social Distancing Measures

Remember when the Moon administration said that they didn’t care if cases hit 10,000 when they began their “Living with COVID” strategy. It didn’t take long for them to back away from this strategy and the cases were no where near 10,000:

South Korea’s new coronavirus cases fell below 5,000 for the first time in three days Monday as the country reimposed toughened social distancing rules amid concerns over the spread of the omicron variant.

The country added 4,325 new COVID-19 infections, raising the total caseload to 477,358, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). 

Daily infections soared to a record high of 5,352 cases on Saturday before falling to 5,127 on Sunday. 

On Monday, the government began four-week stricter social distancing rules to contain the rapid spread of the coronavirus and the omicron variant.

With a critical election coming, do you think Moon will allow it to happen without trying to interfere with it? Look how well the scamdemic worked for the commies in the US

Considering that recent actions including this recent one by the Moon administration pisses off voters and helps increase the chances of Yoon becoming President, I wonder if whether they are a) brainless or b) really hate Lee Jaemyeong to the point that they rather let Yoon become President instead of seeing Lee occupy the Blue House.

Living with Covid was never supposed to work. It was supposed to end up like it did… forced vaccines if you want to eat.

Since the government broke the social contract, lots of businesspeople are simply cutting them out if the deal.

This means no enforcement.

It also means no license, registration, or taxes while they try to continue business.

Yes, Arirang News has totally exposed itself as the MSM of SK. The three pundits talk breathlessly about record-breaking cases day after day … now in children … now in the elderly … in this/that nursing home … this/that church. NEVER ONCE mentioning how many were vaccinated. No comparison, no analysis, NO MENTION. Fuckin sick!

Food for thought: Why did this CV campaign suddenly pick up steam, world-wide, right after COP26?
