South Korea Delays School Opening By One Week Due to Itaewon Cluster Infection

These cluster infections are likely going to keep happening from time to time, so does that mean the schools will be closed each time? If so why bother opening them?:

South Korea on Monday announced plans to reopen schools a week later than scheduled after dozens of infections coming from clubs in the city’s multicultural neighborhood of Itaewon triggered concerns over a bigger outbreak.

“The education ministry, through consultation with health authorities, postponed school reopening for high school seniors to guarantee the safety of students. The reopening for other grades will also be postponed by a week,” Vice Education Minister Park Baeg-beom said in a press briefing.

Under the revised schedule, high school seniors will return to school on May 20, followed by younger students who will return to school in steps concluding on June 8, according to the education ministry.

Robert Mugabe, the communist butcher who destroyed Zimbabwe between 1980 and 2017, learned how to rule in Pyongyang.

His goal was to have everyone in the country on their knees, begging for a handful of grain, with no one but him to supply them.

Every government maintaining a lockdown now, in full refusal of the science, is guilty of the same crime against humanity.

Mugabe was only made responsible for the deaths of about 10 Million Zimbabweans. The 30+ Million who starved to death in Central Africa because Mugabe had shut down the “white-owned” farms that formerly fed all of Rhodesia’s neighbors probably don’t count. At least, you never read about this on XiNN or heard Angelina Jolie or Bill Gates hectoring anyone about it. And “Food Aid” completely ignored it, too…

Socialism, by whatever name it’s given, kills much more effectively than war.
