South Korea’s Daily COVID Case Rate Surpasses 100,000
At least so far the government is not looking to bring back increased COVID protocols despite the large growth in daily cases:
South Korea’s new COVID-19 cases surpassed the 100,000 mark for the first time in more than three months on Wednesday as the new wave of an omicron subvariant is spreading fast.
The country added 100,285 new COVID-19 infections, including 532 from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 19,446,946, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said.
Wednesday’s number is the largest since 111,291 reported on April 20 and up from Tuesday’s 99,327. The daily infection cases have soared to the five digits from four digits since late June as the rapid spread of the omicron subvariant BA.5 is taking hold.

“Cases” is a meaningless measure unless it includes hospitalizationz, deaths, and correlations with number of jabs and which vaccine if any.
It’s less meaningful than how many pizzas were sold in Taehangno every month.
Ni Hao Ma, old man. Does infection with dementia count?

Korean Man, isn’t there a booster somewhere that need a place to be injected?
