Lotteria Restaurant Cluster Infection Causes Fears of Larger Coronavirus Outbreak in Seoul

This has the potential to turn into a much larger outbreak if these people were not wearing masks and social distancing while infected:

At least 11 employees at a local fast-food franchise have tested positive for the new coronavirus, officials said Wednesday, raising concerns over a possibly bigger outbreak.

Ten employees of Lotteria were found to have had a meetiing at the franchise restaurant near Gunja subway station in the eastern Seoul ward of Gwangjin between 3:18 and 5:25 p.m. on Aug. 6, according to health authorities and the Seoul city government.

They later visited two other restaurants in the area, with nine more people joining them.

An employee who lives in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, first tested positive on Tuesday, and three others, all Seoul residents, also tested positive on the same day.

Additional infections were reported on Wednesday, bringing the number of cases to 11 as of 6 p.m.

The sooner we’re all exposed to the Chinese Lung AIDS the better. It’ll kill some of us and the rest will mourn them and be able to get on with our lives and kick out the jackarses who thought all we needed to do was flatten the curve but now think we all need to be economically and emotionally destroyed.

Yes, people with comorbidities will die. That is tragic. But the longer these feckless illegitimi dawdle, the more businesses will die, the more unrest will be generated, and the greater the risk for our glorious leaders to find themselves facing a modern Madame LaFarge.

The consent of the governed is not easily withdrawn; and it always required blood.

Why risk that over a disease with a 99.8 percent survival rate?

“It’ll kill some of us”.

So you don’t mind if you’re the first to die?

Beijing boy, if you think any of us are guaranteed our next breath, you’re still as naive as a milk agi. And if you’d already faced having cancer in your head, 4 surgeries, and 5 months of inpatient chemo, you’d know that catching a cold isn’t really a worry for an adult. Or a selective pandemic that kills as much as .04% of those infected, unless they were protesting against the police (anywhere other than Hong Kong).

However, I do note that, like all of your fitty-scent-armee, you never address anything of subsctance. You just snipe at your betters from the shadows.

Tell Winnie you need a refresher course in RoK-climbing. Or maybe you can get a job beating up Uighur children in the concentration camps.
