The virus spread continues in South Korea:
South Korea’s new coronavirus cases topped 5,000 for the first time Wednesday and the number of critically ill patients hit a fresh high amid concerns over the global spread of the new virus variant.
The country reported 5,123 new COVID-19 cases, including 5,075 local infections, raising the total caseload to 452,350, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). The country’s previous highest daily number of cases was 4,115 last Wednesday

You can read more at the link, but I think it is important to put these numbers into context. For example Sweden a country of just over 10 million people recorded a daily case number of over 6,000 cases on November 30th. The fact that South Korea has hit 5,000 cases with five times the population of Sweden shows it is not that bad and Korea can handle the increased cases numbers.
Say, the “vaccine” really seems to working really well……
People weren’t this fearful during the Flu Pandemic over 100 years ago. And _it_ was actually deadly.

Dear Comrade Setnaffova
People are fearful because of grandpas like you who spend all day fearmongering by posting and spreading fake news.
Setnaffa: “Don’t be afraid of covid.”
Korean Person: “FEAR MONGER!”
The distance between a person’s opinion/speaking/action and reality is a very good indication of how seriously you should take them.

It is a pandemic of the high-risk, for sure.
If the statistics demonstrated this was a Pandemic of the Unvaccinated, it would seem the number of unvaxxed in ICU would be somewhere close to the headlines.
For some reason, the number of unvaxxed isn’t shoved down my throat in a scolding voice.
If I remove my tinfoil hat, I might start thinking the vax isn’t as safe and effective as promised.
Without evidence, I might think the number of vaxxed in the hospital greatly outnumber the unvaxxed.
Especially when suppression of evidence is evidence.
