South Korean COVID Deaths Rise to 879 with 5 Cases of the New UK Strain Identified

South Korea is reporting a death rate of 1.47% from the coronavirus which is likely much lower considering that many people with the virus either don’t know or don’t get tested:

South Korea’s new coronavirus cases stayed above 1,000 for a second straight day Wednesday and variant cases rose to five amid tougher virus curbs across the country. 

The country added 1,050 more COVID-19 cases, including 1,025 locally transmitted infections, bringing the total caseload to 59,773, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

The daily infections fell slightly from 1,046 cases a day earlier amid the stricter Level 2.5 virus curbs in the greater Seoul area, which were extended earlier by one week until Sunday.

South Korea’s daily cases have hovered around 1,000 for the past week due mainly to mass cluster infections.

Twenty people have died from COVID-19 in the past 24 hours, raising the death toll to 879, with the fatality rate of 1.47 percent.

Sometimes fake problems require extreme solutions.

The best solution in this case is to send out a quiet army of small business owners to INTENTIONALLY SPREAD COVID-19 into every pocket of Korean society.

Four weeks later, <1.8% of people over 65 will be dead (with most being older than the Korean life expectancy).

Then Korea can get back to business and start building a future.

This won't just flatten the curve… it will remove the line.

But it is hard to convince a prosperous society to accept communism enforced by a security state.
