South Korea’s Daily Coronavirus Cases Surges to 583 Due to Multiple Cluster Infections

South Korea’s daily coronavirus case rate has now reached the same levels of when Daegu was ground zero for the global pandemic back in March:

The daily number of novel coronavirus cases in South Korea surpassed 500 for the first time in over eight months on Thursday due to sporadic cluster infections across the country as health authorities strive to curb a third wave of infections. 

The country added 583 more COVID-19 cases, including 553 local infections, raising the total caseload to 32,318, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

It marks the first time that the country’s daily virus cases exceeded 500 since March 6, when the figure reached 518 due to a massive outbreak in the southeastern city of Daegu. 

It is also above the peak in the country’s second wave of virus infections on Aug. 27, when 441 cases were confirmed in a single day.

You can read more at the link, but the ROK Army cluster infection is now up to 68 cases, a dance academy in Seoul had 66 cases, a sauna in Seoul had 48 cases, and a Korean traditional drum class in Ulsan had 53 cases. It is pretty clear that large group gathers indoors is what drives the spread of the coronavirus when looking at these numbers.

Casedemic and fear mongering continue in earnest I see.

Is it possible that the medical community in South Korea didn’t study up on virology?

Using inexpensive cloth and paper masks to block a virus is roughly the same as using a chain-link fence to stop a monsoon.

Thus, the question changes to when the medical community in South Korea decided to offer ineffective and possibly harmful advice to their patients. And what that means for the future.

Right now, it looks like they are conflating positive tests with cases, which is at best misleading. And unless Koreans are weaker than other people, only the very old and people with multiple preexisting conditions get seriously ill from the Wuhan Sinus Mange.

How long are they going to accept serfdom?
