Journalist Amazed By Differences In COVID Responses Between South Korea and the U.S.

At the end of the article the journalist admits that she sees know way the U.S. could replicate what South Korea has done because of the different mentality of Americans:

A bag arrived from the local authority the next day that contained a thermometer, a pack of disposable masks, two types of hand sanitizers and a garbage bag. For the two weeks of my quarantine, I would need to discard any of my garbage in the government-mandated bag. I was told it would be collected at the end of my stay.

On day seven of the quarantine, my mom received yet another call from my appointed Covid-19 contact. They wanted to speak with me. I was asked to confirm that I was, in fact, me, before asking some questions and offering mental health services if I required one.

Whenever a new case emerged in a neighboring town, my iPhone would ping with a new notification, the same noise phones make when there is an Amber Alert in the U.S. I would get two or three of these alerts almost every day.

Does anyone seriously think all this is about a virus anymore? Isn’t it all about supressing right-wing protests, deflecting any inquiry into fraud and corruption in the govt, and here in the US, interfering with an election now?

NBC is the same network that planted bombs on GM vehicles in their tests to “prove” they were dangerous in side-impact collisions.

NBC is the same network that harassed a 15 year old Dallas-area girl to tears, on live TV, for her wanting to stay a virgin until she married.

NBC is the same network that hired Food Lion employees to drop hamburger meat on the floor and repackage it for their cameras.

Those are just three of the reasons they are Nothing But Crap.

And of course South Korea is the size of the State of Indiana so there is that too.
