South Korea to Allow Nursing Home Visitations

Another example of South Korea trying to get back to normal in the wake of steeply declining COVID rates:

Starting Tuesday, people will be allowed to visit their elderly relatives at long-term care facilities in person. Elderly people who receive their second booster of a COVID-19 vaccine will also be permitted to leave their facility and stay out overnight. 

Due to the COVID-19 resurgence this summer, in-person visits were suspended in late July.

A steady decrease in the daily number of infections and a more than 90-percent rate of vaccination with the second booster of the residents of such facilities has led the government to decide to loosen restrictions, the Central Disaster Management Headquarters (CDMH) said Friday.

Wait.

They restricted visits in July with a 90-some percent Safe & Effective vaccination rate with a 99.5% Safe & Effective vaccine?

That doesn’t sound right.

Especially since there was also a 90-some percent Safe & Effective booster rate.

Fortunately, there is now a 90-some percent rate of the Safe & Effective second booster.

If you comply, citizen, you will be allowed some minor temporary freedoms.

See you back in jail for the winter wave, suckas.

Jesus. Have they seriously not been permitted to visit until now?
That is terrible. Beyond terrible. I can’t imagine.

Honest to God, looking at that photo makes me want to cry.
If humanity survives history will look on the last two years with distain.
