ROK Military Locked Down After Coronavirus Cluster Infection Case
The ROK military has now been locked down on post to help stop the spread of the coronavirus in South Korea:
The military decided to temporarily ban all troops from vacationing and taking off-installation trips after cluster infections were reported at an Army boot camp amid a nationwide spike in virus cases, the defense ministry said Thursday.
Until Dec. 7, all troops will be subject to tightened social distancing rules in barracks, with vacationing and off-installation visits to be suspended starting Friday, according to the ministry.
Officers are restricted from having private meetings, while in-person religious gatherings and business trips are also banned.
“Troops who violate the rules, resulting in a COVID-19 infection or its spread to others will be strongly reprimanded,” the ministry said in a release.

BTW, how many otherwise healthy people in Korea, under the age of 70, have died from (as opposed to with) the Chinese Lung Pox?
Since February, how many people have died from car accidents? Diabetes? Cancer? Influenza? Domestic Violence? Et cetera…
Don’t know this year but last year 3900ish for traffic deaths…well above the number killed by the CCP virus, but here we are all still driving around.
Set, to answer your question, 81 percent of the deaths in Korea were 70 or older. 50.5% 80+ and 31.74% 70-79. However, 70+ have only been 12.2% of total cases. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1105080/south-korea-coronavirus-deaths-by-age/
