South Korea Requires USFK Arrivals to Have Negative COVID Test

I understand wanting a negative COVID test, but arriving USKF personnel are really not the issue of why the virus is currently spreading like it is:

U.S. soldiers will need a negative coronavirus test but face no restriction of movement before traveling to South Korea starting next week since the military already requires a two-week quarantine upon arrival, the Army said Sunday.

The announcement came as South Korea battled a new outbreak, with 397 new confirmed cases reported on Sunday, the largest number in 10 days of triple digit daily increases.

City officials in Seoul, meanwhile, said everybody will be required to wear masks in public except when eating or drinking starting Monday, tightening rules that already mandated face coverings on public transportation in the densely packed urban area. Local governments in the surrounding Gyeonggi province and the southern city of Daegu have done the same.

Anyone taking bets on how long it takes the left to blame USFK for the increasing corona cases?

Well, the US has 5.9 million people infected, and over 180,000 dead, they lead the world.

So it’s totally reasonable for a relatively much healthier country doing a much better job of containing this virus, to ask the arrivees from an out of control infected anarchy called the United States, to be clean so that they don’t infect more people in Korea.

USA #1 infected in the world.

South Korea #75.

Apparently some people still don’t understand the term “going viral”… One pities their gormless, feckless, pusillanimous attempts at simulating effete snobbery while proving themselves utter buffoons…

Hint: Read EA Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” for ways to stop a virus.
