South Korea’s Daily COVID Cases Reaches New Record Level of Nearly 50,000

It appears that South Korea’s current COVID wave has not yet hit its plateau as cases continue to grow to record levels after the Lunar New Year holiday:

South Korea’s daily COVID-19 infections rose sharply to hit another high of nearly 50,000 on Wednesday amid the fast spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant across the nation.

The country reported 49,567 new COVID-19 infections, including 49,402 local cases, raising the total to 1,131,248, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

It marked the first time that the daily tally exceeded the 40,000 level. The previous daily record high was 38,689 recorded Sunday.

You can read more at the link, but according to the article health authorities say cases could peak at 170,000 by the end of the month. However, as this current wave is showing the cases are not necessarily important it is the hospitalizations which so far South Korea has been able to effectively manage.

What’s going to be disappointing is when the double vaxxed and boosted get reinfected with omicron and every other strain.

Perpetually sick.

…and that’s only part of it.

Don’t believe me?

Ask me how it works. I will explain it in small words and give historical examples.

C’mom… ask.

CH, going to be a disappointment when the triple and quadruple vax’d start getting V-AIDS. GI will desperately shill for big pharma and the globalist trying to say it is not a thing but it is now documented. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/frequent-covid-vaccine-booster-shots-could-weaken-immunity-warn-european-regulators-2703208

Looks like maybe that chemo I had in 2016 saved me twice. Once from the mixofibrosarcoma, and again from the vax…

May God protect the innocent and judge those getting rich off pushing a harmful substance on youth and kids.

And may we all wake up and stop living in fear of getting a cold.

That chemo therapy didn’t save your brain, though. Too bad.

CH! You weren’t supposed to tell them I had it shortened!!

Seriously though, it’s finda funny how little about anything but 3rd grade attempted insults dude attempts.

Original paintchip and even Tom were far better.

This one is down at the fake Croatian level. Necktie Man or whatever he called hisself…

I do hope he never finds out what a sarcoma in the maxillofacial region is like, as it wasn’t fun and I doubt China would send such a low-cost agitprop stand-in to MD Anderson or Slian-Kettering. So he’d just die.

I also wonder how someone can mistake sinuses for brains; but I imagine the State-run schools in China are no better than those in Baltimore.
