USFK To Allow Most Schools in Korea to Reopen

Some good news for parents looking to get their kids back to school in South Korea:

Senior Airman Kassidy Peters receives her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at Osan Air Base, South Korea, Dec. 29, 2020.

U.S. Forces Korea is lowering the coronavirus risk level across more of the peninsula, including at its largest installation, leaving only the Seoul region under the strictest prohibitions for the U.S. military.

The change takes effect 7 a.m. Monday, after the three-day Lunar New Year holiday in South Korea. It coincides with level two social distancing rules in the country, which limit some businesses’ hours and social gatherings to no more than 100 people, according to the Tuesday announcement.

Area I includes the north and northeast region of the country up to the border with North Korea. Area III covers the central region where Osan Air Base and Camp Humphreys are situated. The Seongnam area south of Seoul and the Han River is also included in the change. (………..)

Under condition Bravo, students in Department of Defense Education Activity schools at Camp Humphreys and Osan Air Base will return Tuesday to in-person classes, DODEA-Korea district superintendent Jeff Arrington said in a memo emailed to parents on Tuesday.

Students moved to online learning after USFK raised the HPCON level to Charlie in late December when schools let out for winter break. Students at Camps Walker and George, in the country’s south, returned to school on Tuesday.

I tell everyone at work, especially the ones taking the shot: The ONLY way anyone is going to get THAT needle into my arm is if they amputate it first.

Last time I got a flu shot was probably 1979. Since then, the only time I had the flu was just after chemo while hanging out at MD Anderson with hundreds of others.

I washed my hands regularly since my parents and grandparents beat it into me.

I pity folks whose parents tried to be friends instead of parents.

But that’s too far off-topic.

The Winnie Flu shot hasn’t really had enough testing yet. And the preamble to all of this resembles a cheap knockoff of Resident Evil. The folks making up the leftist narrative just aren’t really very bright.
