Despite Drop in Coronavirus Cases South Korea Extends Social Distancing Measures
It is probably smart to continue to enforce social distancing measures until the winter is over and the vaccine has time to be distributed:
![An inmate at Seoul Dongbu Detention Center in Songpa District, southern Seoul, holds a sign Sunday that reads, “I want a room to myself. Seven confirmed patients are still gathered [in a single room].” More than 1,100 coronavirus cases have been traced to the facility.

Daily coronavirus cases dipped to 657 Saturday, but health authorities said current social distancing measures will remain in place for two more weeks across the country as several clusters continue to grow.

Korea registered 824 new cases last Friday on New Year’s Day, markedly fewer than most recent days when the nation was seeing over 1,000 cases. Health officials, however, barely celebrated the decline, noting it was the result of fewer tests conducted over the weekend and holidays.
A smaller number of people get tested on weekends compared to weekdays because private medical facilities offering Covid-19 testing usually close on Saturday afternoons and on Sundays. Public facilities offering Covid-19 tests, on the other hand, are normally open throughout the week.
With daily cases still showing no signs of drastically falling, the central government announced Saturday that current social distancing measures will be extended for two more weeks until Jan. 17.

It’s probably the stupidest thing that can be done unless the goal is to assist the globalists and multinationals in their goal of destroying small business and impoverishing much of the population.
A smart thing would be to recognize this fake pandemic is not an issue for the healthy and under-50 crowd.
These people need the be left alone to keep the economy running and create the wealth necessary to assist at-risk demographics as they self-isolate.
This is all a scam for anyone but the old and sick and anyone who buys into it is a tool.
Masks lower blood oxygen levels and increases carbon dioxide. Children, especially, need unrestricted airways. Growing internal organs consume up to five times more oxygen than an adult.
For a guy who pretends to be semi-intelligent, chickendead continues to prove big words don’t prove intelligence. I sincerely pray that you get this fake virus that has killed over 300,000 in the US due to the soon to be unemployed orange man’s failed policies. Suck more more orange dick, chickenfred. You’re as pathetic as trump’s efforts to illegally pressure Georgia officials to come up with more votes. LOL Chicken fried steak loses again!!! Just like he did in Osan with his stupid bar.
BOOM!!!
Paintchip musta gotten on that Chinese payroll… He sounds just like Beijingboy and johnhenry…
And I wouldn’t expect a failed English teacher expat who bragged about getting evicted to be my go-to-guy for virology or epidemiology. No offense intended.
I know of people who have caught it and died. All were over 70 and had bad diabetes.
I know of other folks who’ve caught it and got over it in a week or two.
If it was really an emergency that could be solved by cheap Chinese facials, I know of others who’d be standing in line yelling “Shut up and take my money!”
Meanwhile, where are the 5 million missing from Wuhan?
Sigh, Trump never pressured anyone to produce votes. Listen to the entire conversation.
Masks mitigate the spread in a vacuum. They do not work when thousands of participate in super spreader incidents such BLM protests or underground parties attended by mostly black crowd.
I don’t know why the likes of Tbonety1r_lives thinks eternal social distancing and lockdowns will make a difference. Masks DO NOT WORK in states like CA which has the most vulnerable population and people have relative freedom of movement. It does not matter that the mask reduces aerosolized spray of the virus. Covid only needs one Dodgers championship celebration to infect the entire city of LA.
Just stop it.
This tbone is not the same as the other tbone who had social and mental handicaps.
We can explain to this tbone that 300K didn’t die from the virus. We can tell him Trump had good policies, even though his best ones were resisted at every step. We can ask him to listen to the entire conversation and note that, when not edited, Trump asked for nothing more than transparency and a sincere investigation.
But it won’t help.
Maybe years in a Deprogramming Camp™ will help him see the error in his thinking. Commies know well about that kind of work. But commies also know a better way to manage these kind of subversives.
Commies, like a broken clock, are not always wrong.
You may be right, CH; but they all type like they ate too many paint chips as a kid,
