South Korea See Daily COVID Cases Grow Above 50,000 as Winter Sets In

Let’s hope that South Korea doesn’t start implementing COVID restrictions again due to increasing case counts:

South Korea’s new coronavirus cases bounced back to above 50,000 on Saturday amid concerns of a possible resurgence in the winter.

The country reported 50,589 new COVID-19 infections, including 50 cases from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 26,512,754, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said. 

The Saturday tally increased from 49,418 on Friday but was down 3,739 cases from a week ago. 

From Monday to Thursday, South Korea’s new COVID-19 cases hit two-month highs each day, causing authorities to closely watch for the possibility of another virus wave in the wintertime.

What percent of these cases were vaxxed and fully boosted?

That should provide interesting fodder as the people gather their rhetorical pitchforks and torches and virtually curb-stomp the would-be tyrants who forced the failed policies and experimental gene therapy on innocent men, women, and children.

Also, are they counting Influenza and RSV infection as COVID-19 like they did in 2020? In New York City, they even counted those who died of firearm violence and traffic accidents.

Just ignore the 확진자 (confirmed infected) numbers and concentrate on the 사망률 (death rate/toll). In Korea, I think that number is under 1% whether you reckon it as deaths versus total population or deaths versus confirmed-infected population. COVID is simply not a problem here. Period. (And yes, I too hope the current administration doesn’t bring back onerous regulations. That would be stupid.)

This is all a test.

Omicron, which all the current strains are based off of, was unquestionably made in a lab.

Once it is established the vaccinated can catch it more than once while the naturally immune are safe, the lab will release the deadly version.

Tinfoil hat territory? Absolutely. Certainly the people managing civilization wouldn’t do that.

Except all the evidence fits, it is fully in agreement with the open plans of the societal managers, and it is exactly what needs to be done to prepare the world for the robot revolution… where most people will not be needed.

With no job and everything essentially free, as robots farm the food, deliver the food, cook the food, and serve the food, some people will flourish… creating amazing art, improving philosophy and human understanding, pursuing new directions in music, etc.

But most people are shìt and will start to worry about their pronouns… and then start to worry about my pronouns… and then disrupt utopia by trying to burn it down over pronouns.

They already do this when they have the distraction of a job and a purpose.

Utopia doesn’t need this. Better to kill them off now… as, statistically, the vaccinated are the ones inclined to engage in the behavior wishing to be bred out of mankind.

So, watch for the Deadly Strain that affects the vaccinated far more than the naturally immune.

Next spring would be ideal, as the naturally immune will still have solid immunity while the vaccinated have faded immunity and are ready for their next infection of covid. The booster does offer a few months of increased protection but the uptake is poor as people have gotten wise to the scam.

Bonus: The time easiest to catch covid is within the two weeks after taking the booster. When the deadly strain hits, everyone will panic and get the booster… making their chance to catch the deadly strain much higher.

Even if this is not the plan, I propose we do it anyway.

Anybody got the number for that lab in Boston bragging about the 80% more deadly strain they conjured up?

Chickenhead, I can totally see the US government making that germ in the lab, spreading it to the world, then blaming it on China.

Anyway, it’s good to be back here to see you Trumpians after a long absence. I and my wife were attacked (unprovoked) by three crazy American soldiers who wrecked my car’s window, gang-attacked me then tried to rape my wife. The police tried to convince me to drop the charges because they are Americans and it’s going to be a very long complex steps to bring them to face charges.

Korea Times Headline, 20 Nov 2022:
“Gov’t offers incentives to bivalent vaccine recipients”

Select quotes:

  • health authorities have decided to implement a “carrot and stick” approach to encourage people to roll up their sleeves for a bivalent vaccine 
  • KDCA designated a four-week special period for the administration of bivalent vaccines from Monday through Dec. 18, aiming to reach a 50-percent inoculation rate
  • individuals who receive the bivalent dose will get discounts to templestay programs and free tickets to traditional palaces and gardens
  • residents of long-term care facilities who have not received a bivalent booster dose will be banned from going outside.

“BANNED FROM GOING OUTSIDE”  [emphasis mine]

For anyone who thinks it’s going to stop at “residents of long-term care facilities”, please rush out and get your booster.

And so it begins … again.

I’ve been to the UK, where the government there had declared the Covid pandemic to be over and dropped all restrictions including the mask mandate that is well hated here.

As a result, people are going about their lives as if Covid has never existed at all.

Personally, I don’t see the reason why South Korean can’t follow the path the UK has decided to take.

“Chickenhead, I can totally see the US government making that germ in the lab, spreading it to the world, then blaming it on China”

Plot twist: That appears to be exactly what happened. A part of the US government paid a Chinese lab to do research that is illegal in America. In the end, the Chinese are responsible for their lab biosecurity, so they are to blame.

All circumstantial evidence points to it being an accident.

Omicron was also very clearly made in a lab. It’s release also could have been accidental, as the most obvious clues to its lab origins could have been hidden but were not.

Or it could have been sending a message from someone to someone for some reason.

Looks like your insight wins the internets today.

CH, is there evidence omicron isn’t just a mutation of a mutation (and so on) of the original virus that got out because China couldn’t keep its lab hygiene tight?

Liz, here you go.

Omicron showed up at the end if 2021 yet came almost directly from alpha as an evolved finished product (UAE strain, I think). It’s closest relatives have been extinct since the mid 2020s.

This is unlike every variant, before and after, which has a clear evolutionary path from alpha to present over the entire timeliness.

The official explanation was that it spent 18 months evolving in a place nobody noticed it… the darkest of Africa, an animal, an AIDS patient.

These silly explanations are for public consumption.

A much, much more simple explanation is it spent months in a lab being repeatedly run through vaccinated plasma so it would develop immune escape abilities… especially to the vaccine… which it did.

Liberal arts majors, unfamiliar with the dark arts of mathematics and the mysteries of computational biology, will say but but but… however scientists know… and they whisper to each other about this at the volume level which protects careers.

The problem here is that, while this situation is understandable, most people don’t see (or want to see) it as the smoking gun it is.

…and the undeniable smoking guns held in a gloved hand to your head require an understanding of science… so they are unsuitable for women, children, and the infirm.

Hence most of the reasons why omicron was made in a lab will be lost on those who haven’t spent the last two years trying to understand then situation instead of fapping to the Marval Universe and BLM.

Here are my simple explanations… way dumbed down so anybody can understand.

I am not (yet?) professor-grade in my understanding but I will try to answer any questions.

– there 33 nonsynonymous and 1 synonymous mutation in the omicron spike. This ratio is (dare I say) impossible in nature. Synonymous mutations are a change in genetic code but still product the same amino acid so they go unnoticed. Nonsynonymous mutations have a clear (usually negative) evolutionary effect because they lead to different amino acids that change the resulting proteins. In the messy real world, synonymous mutations are more frequent between virus variants.

– The spike had 3819 coding nucleotides. It has 33 NS and 1 S mutations. Nearby genes have 4000 coding nucleotides. They have 8 NS and 3 S changes. The spike has four times the NS changes. Such a different rate of evolutionary change for nearby genes would be… unusual… in nature.

– The molecular spectrum (the relative frequency of the twelve types of base substitutions) is very different than other covid variants. It is consistent with evolution, not in humans, but in mouse cells. This could also be evidence that omicron came from an animal reservoir… except all other evidence points to a lab rather than animal evolution.

That should be enough evidence for anybody who wants to understand it.

There are a few more that i am aware of… but they are increasingly complex.

I can go into them.

TLDR: the genetic makeup of omicron is not what would be expected (or seen) in nature but it is what would be expected from a lab.

Well, CH, to my Busines-Data-Processing/Accounting/Economics trained mind, that explanation was as clear as Mississippi mud; but it is very similar to a discussion I had with a fellow who does have the education to understand the science.

Essentially, Omicron is like SpongeBrain’s and FetterNeck’s elections. It was tampered with.

Eeeek, CH. I didn’t really understand all of that (my graduate level biochemistry class was too many moons ago).
Time will tell.
Hope you are wrong, that sucks. 🙁

Ah yes nothing like an article about Covid to bring out the Setnaffarians.

Considering Covid is the past and people are looking beyond Covid, me thinks the Setnaffarians need to get a life.

Covid is in the past if we let it stay in the past.

But government sure would like to dust it off and use it again.

Sooooo…

Better to keep reminding people what they did to you last time…

…as you were kept away from your friends, and your social life was destroyed, and your grandparents died alone, and your children have learning and social handicaps, and you were tricked into being a subject in a failed medical experiment that is not yet over while they keep tying to coerce you into being a subject in a follow-up experiment.

Except for high-risk demographics, covid was never even in the present.

But for the people who took the vaccine, more and more it looks like it is going to be in some percentage of their future.

My neighbors have covid now.
Believe it or not, it is the first time they’ve had it (he is in remission for cancer, they have been very careful).
Just texted them to see how they are doing. Haven’t heard back yet.
She was at our house four days ago, think I’m in the clear I don’t have symptoms.
They are very heavily vaccinated and boosted (they’ve gotten everything available). This will be an interesting test case.
Very much hope they are okay, they are very good people.

Liz, here is what is what may happen if he is in a high risk demographic.

He will get sicker and sicker. He will go to the hospital. They will give him a treatment that is dictated by hospital administration, as directed by someone higher.

The doctor administering the treatment knows it is more likely to kill him even though it will be expensive. But he dare not say anything if he wants to pay off medical school. So he shuts up and follows his orders.

This has been playing out for two two and a half years.

Yeah, CH, he is in that demographic (though not overweight, which should help). They just became grandparents for the first time last week (and another grandkid is on the way next month).
I’m very concerned about them.
