Camp Humphreys and Yongsan Garrison Under “Shelter in Place” Orders Due COVID Infections

For the first time USFK has had to deal with a cluster infection from the coronavirus:

Coronavirus clusters at the U.S. Army’s largest installation in South Korea and at its former headquarters in Seoul are forcing personnel to “shelter in place” throughout the long holiday weekend.

The order, announced at 6 a.m. Saturday on U.S. Forces Korea’s official Facebook page, went into effect immediately for those stationed at Camp Humphreys — headquarters for USFK, Eighth Army and the 2nd Infantry Division — and Yongsan Garrison, 55 miles to the north. It expires at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.

“USFK defines ‘shelter in place’ as remaining at your residence – including other occupants or residents – except for life, health, safety and essential services to include food and medicine purchases,” the announcement said.

You can read more at the link, but USFK has had 19 new infections since Thursday and they try to conduct contact tracing to identify other potentially infected people. Having people shelter in place is help stop any spread while the contact tracers do their work.

Tell command to shelter their chair-shaped àsses in place, slam a half bottle of shoplifted Jack, get a taxi with no intention of paying, pepper spray the driver as you jump out, kick off the mirror for good measure, go to the ville screaming, “I’m fully erect and ready to wreck”, buy the fattest ho you see on your government travel card, and three-hole her in the window of a 2nd floor bar. Flip town patrol the bird if they make eye contact.

Do it for liberty in the spirit of the holiday!

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

If USFK leadership completely had their way they would do this every weekend even without a pandemic.
