Hey, no one here has screamed about COVID for a while. Allow me to fill the void.

Beginning May 1st, Korea officially declares COVID as endemic instead of pandemic. Can anyone say ”bout fuggin’ time”!

The most visible issue for most of us is masks will no longer be required in medical facilities. 

Wait, were masks ever really required? Did the assembly ever pass a law? Or did the KCDC (or whatever they’re called) just say they are required without ever having the proper authority to say such a thing?

Hahaha!

I love masks.

Of course, if I didn’t wear one, the chronically powerless exerted their newfound power and yelled, “Maskeuh maskeuh!”

If I wore one on my neck, people would say nicely, “Maskeuh,” meaning “you forgot to pull it up.”

If I wore it under my nose, nobody said anything.

So…

It was about compliance with hystaria and mental illness rather than some sort of public health.

Fúck all of you.

But…

The joke isn’t on me here.

It turns out that wearing a mask (that does NOTHING against covid), raises the carbon dioxide level far above OSHA standards.

So… basically…

If you were so fúcking stupid to buy into the mask insanity, congradulations.

You now have permanent brain damage.

You were stupid before. You are more stupid now.

…and that explaines everything we are observing.

This blog is filled with loser Setnaffarians who can’t get over COVID because their leader can’t let go of the fact that he wanted to get the vaccine, was rejected on medical grounds and was discriminated against.

On top of that he’s spamming spam links so that he can play victim and make it look like that he was important enough to be targeted by the Chinese.

needs to get a life or see a shrink.

I can’t “get over covid” becasue history shows the moment I do, they will do it again.

Nothing in the history of mankind has contained as much incompetence, stupidity, and evil intentions on such a widespread scale as the response to covid.

Anybody not perpetually vigilant is stupid.

However, my vocal frontend hoping to prevent it from happening, is covered by my planning backend which would see me emerge from the wreckage in a better position than when i entered.

My first thought is that my life is fine and i don’t need the hassle.

But i am increasingly of the mind that a little disruption would be worth watching everyone suffer.

Most people deserve to suffer very much.

It is the only way to install sensible values.

With chinabot scoring own goals and bragging about it, CH and Mcgeehee are scoring intentional goals like they’re clones of Cristiano Reynaldo and Lionel Messi…

I’ll have to ask the wife for more popcorn…

A long-dead worm is still active on at least 2.5 million PCs worldwide. (Ars Technica)

The worm, created by China, was tied to a single specific IP address as its command-and-control hub.

For reasons that remain unclear, whatever server was originally attached to that IP address was shut down. So security researchers bought the address, granting them complete control over every one of the infected systems.

All they are doing so far is watching.

All they are doing so far.

The medical gangsters who are on strike against the plan to hire more doctors are now threatening an all-out war.

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/04/119_373582.html

I keep saying this, but South Korea needs to break the monopoly of these goons who call themselves “doctors”. It should fast-track thousands of foreign doctors and hire thousands more medical translators. Then train them to work in Korean hospitals. The best way to deal with monopolies is more competition.

I have not thought it through, but I have a suspicion importing doctors that don’t speak Korean is not the ideal solution.

Korea Man is always interested in the solution that dilutes Korea.

Not really Chickenhead. Bringing highly educated and trained doctors makes sense, it helps the country. On the other hand, bringing in people who intend to cheat the system like these Vietnamese women who use fake marriages for Korean citizenship, is not a good idea.

You are correct.

Foreign spouses are generally a bad idea unless they are of better breeding stock than the locals.

Doctors are much the same, I suppose.

The key would be “highly educated”.

In technical matters, Korea brought in foreign experts, learned the tricks of the trade, and became the highly educated.

Korea’s medical education is pretty good, and Korean specialists study overseas. Korea is even a leader in back surgery, bringing in doctors from other countries to study.

My first thought on all this, without doing a bit of research, is that Korea doesn’t need foreign doctors and the logistics they would require.

Competition is good but should be generated internally.

Is Japan about to snatch control of Line messenger from Korea’s Naver?

https://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_international/1138324

It’s unbelievable the number of economic attacks on South Korean companies, coming from so many foreign countries. Yet no South Korean leader will stand up for South Korean interests and speak up for South Korea. Yoon government is blaming Naver and has suggested that Naver give their controlling stakes to Japan as a good will gesture. Naver is a valuable company, it’s brainless irresponsibility to offer it to Japan for free due to political subservience to Japan. If Japan takes over Line, Naver will lose not just the Japanese market but also the SEA market with 400 million people. Line, first developed by Naver, is a very popular messenger service outside Asia except China. Japan has always been sore with the fact that a Korean company is controlling its internet messenger service.

Keep an eye on your USAA and Navy Federal Credit Union bank accounts. Call center workers, in Shreveport nonetheless but I won’t go there, managed to steal money out of unsuspecting customers accounts.

Come to think of it, it would be a good idea to keep an eye on your money in any institution with people.

It’s Wednesday, and I’m still waiting for this Monday story to drop at the ROKDROP: “Criminal investigation of Christian Pastor for 몰카 of First Lady”

National Office of Investigation chief Woo Jong-soo said at a press conference held at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Seoul that “Last year, Choi was accused of stalking (Kim), and (the police) completed a brief legal review of the case. The police determined that further investigation is needed.”

Stephen, it is good you mentioned it, but it is not really news… and it may never be news.

When a complaint is filed with the police in Korea, they almost always MUST investigate it.

Further, they almost always hand the investigation over to the prosecutor, even in the dumbest cases, becasue they don’t want any responsibility.

So a right wing group filed a legitimate complaint against the leftist pastor who certainly acted with premeditated ungodly malice.

The job of the police is to see if anything he did was criminal. Unless there is clearly no crime, the results of this investigation will go to the prosecutor.

At that point, it will start to be news.

But you are focusing on the wrong thing.

What senseless greedy dingdong takes something free from lefties?

Aren’t there lessons to learn with chronic welfare dependence, state-sponsored drug addiction, covid vaccines, and communism until the first harvest?

I take your points CH.

Especially, this point: The job of the police is to see if anything he did was criminal.

What else will the criminal investigation find the Christian pastor’s hidden camera has been up to … when skirting the law?
