South Korea’s Daily COVID Rate Rises by 55% to 621,328 Cases Breaking Yet Another Record
South Korea’s daily COVID rate continues to shatter records:
South Korea’s new daily COVID-19 cases spiked to more than 600,000 on Thursday, setting another record high, fueled by the spread of the highly transmissible omicron variant amid an easing of virus curbs.
The country reported 621,328 new COVID-19 infections, including 62 cases from overseas, raising the total to 8,250,592, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said.
The latest tally marks a 55 percent surge in just one day. South Korea has seen a spike in the caseload since it reported the first five-digit figures in late January of this year. Since then, the numbers have grown fast, surpassing 300,000 on March 9.
Yonhap
You can read more at the link, but remember the days when the Moon administration was gloating about their COVID policies and wanting it to be a model for the world. Looking back it appears the Swedes were right all along.
I can just cut and paste this over and over… at least to two million.
…
But… but… but… 95% of Korean adults are Safe and Effective.
So this is either fake news or the vaccine is shìt, the people who pushed the vaccine are shìt, and the people who fell for the scam are ignorant fools who owe the science-deniers an apology.
You brought it on yourselves for closing your eyes, ears, and minds to anything beyond what the government and the TV told you… two organizations that clearly lie to you every day and you lazily believed them instead of checking things out for yourself.
Anyone who pulled themselves away from the obvious propaganda and looked at pre-2020 research already knew what was going to happen.
And anybody who looks at 1958 research knows exactly what is going to happen next.
It has been glorious watching the vaxxed and boosted come down with the exact same level of illness as the unvaxxed, as the prophesy foretold.
And it will be glorious to see the vaxxed and boosted catch the next strain(s) of covid this coming summer and winter… and perhaps two to four times per year… forever.
…though Pfizer announced a solution for that…
…get your fainting couch ready…
…a forth shot!
Who didn’t see that coming in late 2020?
Of course that is only good for another 3 to 6 months… so wait for the next solution. It will be… a 5th shot. You learned that here first if you are too stupid to have figured it out for yourself. Wanna know what comes after that?
I bet it has something to do with that “vaccination by subscription” business model big pharma was talking about.
All the clues were there that this was a scam. Did you honestly not see them?
So if anyone is currently vax-happy, and I know they still exist, do you want to defend what you are witnessing?
Or do you want to apologize, put all this behind us, and move on to the management phase of what is about to happen?
Because what is about to happen is going to need some management.
And I have a pretty good idea how to do that… which is concealed by the same interests that tell you HCQ is fish tank cleaner and Ivermectin is horse paste.
Nope body cares
Look, idiot. Try to chew on these facts, or better yet, you explain this:
The number of COVID deaths in the United States: 1 million.
The number of COVID deaths in South Korea: 11,000.
That just about says it all right there.
Many countries have stopped mass public testing because they gave up due to Omicron spreading so fast. On the other hand, South Korea is one of the few countries that continues mass testing.
Answers:
American death rates are due to several factors.
– lies by the medical industry so they can get paid From Covid rates for With Covid patients
– 85% of American deaths are of the obese
– putting infected people into nursing homes
Also, what exactly is Korean doing with this testing knowledge? A lot of money is being spent to… to what?
Bonus: Did you know the vaccines are a scam?
I count six people in the ROK Drop who are anti-vaxxers, and their points can be summarized as such;
The things is if one lives in his/her own world where he/she believes the above to be true then that person will believe it no matter how much you argue with them.
The main point of the above is obviously the vaccines especially whether or not the vaccines are safe and effective and whether the person should have the choice to get vaccinated or not and respect of that choice.
I think GIKorea nailed it when he stated that a person should have a choice.
And that person should have the right to choose, and if that person chooses not to get vaccinated then yes he/she should be left alone.
However with that decisions, also comes the responsibility which IMO includes not using the ROKDrop to post links from suspicious sources and not using this blog as a platform for an anti-vaxx campaign (or whining, depending on one’s point of view) when most of the other commentators don’t especially care and aren’t forcing the anti-vaxxers here to get vaxxed.
But anyways this is GIKorea’s blog and if he has decided to silently tolerate such behavior, well it’s his call.
“But anyways this is GIKorea’s blog and if he has decided to silently tolerate such behavior, well it’s his call.”
So you are not a free speech fan.
I’m not an anti-vaxxer; I’m more highly vaccinated for a very wide range of agents than 95% of health professionals but I’m surprised by how many sketchy theories have come full circle and back again in just over 2 years so I’d like access to a wide variety of opinions please.
I’m more surprised by how many “the science is settled” statements are now patently proven false; fall well short of promised results or are now in doubt.
So you are not a free speech fan.
Americans are big fans of free speech.
But some mistake it as “I can say anything I want and not take responsibility for it.”
Ironically, it seems that some who support the above also support local politicians who aren’t exactly fans of democracy or the democratic process.
“The Covid vaccines have been created as part of a conspiracy between Faucci, the government, and the pharma companies in an effort to make money off the pandemic”
Is it certainly a conspiracy of shared values. Faucci is getting attention (and his own action figure), government has consolidated power and control, and the pharmaceutical companies have made money. So. Yes. Also, all three have lied over and over, got caught lying, and shamelessly continued lying.
“The mRNA technology which have been much touted are an experimental technology and Faucci is using the pandemic to test the technology”
The CEO of Pfizer is already getting ahead of this. He said he was quite surprised that his experts wanted to go with this new technology but he trusted them. As this is the first mRNA product, yes, it is experimental. And, as there were only months of poorly conducted trials, the technology is being tasted on the public.
“The vaccines do not work.”
Heh. Yeah. Is anyone unclear about this?
“Covid infection numbers are numbers made up by the government in order to scare people and cower them into obedience”
All covid numbers have been manipulated to control public opinion. This can be verified when two countries in the same situation have very different numbers to support whatever agenda is being pushed.
“You do not need to be concerned about the pandemic. It’s not that serious. All you have to do is do what you do everyday, don’t listen to the government advice, don’t get vaccinated and it will be alright, since the pandemic will go away on its own.”
Korea is now doing what it could have, and should have, done 2 years ago. If you are healthy, you don’t need to be concerned. You certainly don’t need to be vaccinated…
…because…
…they don’t work
Chickendead just needs a platform so he can stand there and scream at the wind. It’s what he’s been doing as long as I can remember.
Tbone is still mad at CH for sharing those YouTube videos of Tbone getting evicted after he was fired from his teaching gig??????
Showing up here is like a dog returning to its vomit.
…because…
…they don’t work
When the anti-vaxxers here say “vaccines don’t work” they base their logic on the increasing number of people infected with Covid.
But on the other hand they say that the increasing number of people infected with Covid are numbers made up by the government.
Which means, according to the anti-vaxxers, since there really isn’t any increase in the number of Covid cases, then the anti-vaxxers are in a way saying that the vaccines are doing their job of controling the number of Covid cases.
“But some mistake it as ‘I can say anything I want and not take responsibility for it’.”
Not at all.
I want accountability at an appropriate point but those who don’t want to hear opposing view points want accountability in the moment which is problematic since the prevailing opinions are often wrong without appropriate research and wait for it “access to more views and data.”
In the mean time I would like to listen to all the views and have access to all the data which include doctors and eye witnesses from time to time who are immediately discounted but later proven correct or more correct than the immediate crowd decision.
TOK, if people weren’t forced to either get a jab or lose their job this would be less of an issue. But for the last year jabs have been required to travel, enter restaurants, keep a job, and those who have refused have become literal economic and social pariahs.
It is extremely difficult to find credible information.
There is an abundance of evidence that our news sources cannot be trusted. And even sources that were considered reputable have irreparably damaged their own reputations.
When 27 nobel laureates sign a statement in the Lancet (a generally very well respected source that was considered credible) indicating the lab leak theory is a sham, I believed it. Until it was later discovered none of the signers had done any investigation whatsoever.
So TOK, when you talk about sketchy sources I have to wonder how you are making this estimation? The British Medical Journal is pretty reputable and they had a recent article asserting that “Evidence based medicine has been corrupted by corporate interests, failed regulation, and commercialization of academia”. There is much evidence to indicate that is the case.
Here is a BMJ article from 2018 which documents a tale of two vaccinations…one obviously far more risky than another. Yet it took eight years to uncover this preventable tragedy.
https://www.bmj.com/content/362/bmj.k3948?ijkey=5f8ffeddf340cd61b53a376cf0b6b06e319a9a8a&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha
Not all vaccines are alike. Some are associated with high risk. But thank you for painting anyone with any concerns with any vaccine at all, for any reason, as an anti-vaxxer.
“But thank you for painting anyone with any concerns with any vaccine at all, for any reason, as an anti-vaxxer.”
Since my edit window has expired I cannot add this to my last post. I cite as evidence the count of “six anti-vaxxers”. No one here is disparaging the polio vaccine. It’s just one in particular now, isn’t it?
Tok…
You are right.
The vaccines work wonders. This corona wave is all fake numbers. Nobody here has ever caught covid. Nobody here even knows anybody who caught covid.
Have you gotten your 4th booster?
Be sure to stay Safe and Effective!
I know over 100 people who have caught Fauci’s Pox and lived.
Everyone who went to the hospital (4 of those 100+) was either going through cancer treatments or had heart trouble, and it was mostly precautionary. And also well over a year ago.
The last 20 or so who got sick—including several teens—were all jabbed. No one I know who has not been vaxxed has caught that Sino Sinus Syphilus in the last six months.
And yes, through April 1st, I’ll be doing the 2x weekly test my employer demands and paid for me to take… By God’s grace, no COVID detected since last September (when the testing began).
Anecdotal “evidence” is not enough, though, so I advise everyone to do as I have done and follow the advice of their doctor. After all, it’s “Science”, right?
Setnaffa, my spouse (he had covid before) and I and two of our sons are not vaccinated. We all got covid recently along with our oldest (vaccinated) son. But we got covid from a person who was vaccinated and boosted.
Tok is one of those clowns you see in a meme.
Six hundred thousand cases and rising… yet… “but but but the vaccine is working”. He is smiling and his finger is in his nose.
How can people be this disconnected from reality and still hold a job?
How exactly is “working” defined?
Science says the vaxtards will experience more frequent reinfection, will be more susceptible to new strains, will have a higher risk of cardiac issues, will have a higher risk of cancer, and may have reproductive issues.
Good. Suffer. You have only yourselves to blame… though it will be hard to admit that truth and it will be hard to stop licking the boot of those who pushed it off on you.
Nothing concerning covid would have been different if the vaccine had been taken or rejected. That’s the irony here.
But the vaccine is a personal choice, as there are (or were) certain risk profiles where the vaccine makes some sense.
Not my business what you all want to shoot up… be it heroin or mRNA.
But the moment the vaxtards started to push their mental illness off on me, it became my problem. And the moment the government, with the support of all the vaxtards, decided to make it more difficult to buy food, it became my existential problem.
Every history book says that’s when you go to war or you end up in a camp.
This little misadventure ended quickly but it will never be forgotten or forgiven… and I would happily shiv each and every selfish intrusive demanding vaxtard in the liver if there wasn’t (currently) a law against it.
(Un)fortunately, I won’t have to.
The vaccine is likely going to do a percent of them in¹… and they will live the rest of their lives wondering if they are in that percent.
Don’t forget your boosters, vaxtards.
Stay Safe and Effective.
¹if anybody us interested in the science behind this, I am happy to explain
Speaking of Science: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83JR2IoI8k
The CDC made another change, eliminating 25% of pediatric deaths due to covid as well and thousands of others.
[Political] Science!!
So of course they just claimed it was a coding error and eliminated the old data instead of showing their work…

@Drago
You are either misunderstanding me or putting words into my mouth.
But anyways.
Let’s say you go up to one of your friends and tell him that one of his female relatives is a ‘slut.’
According to the freedom of speech you can do that and unless your friend decides to punch you in the face, more or less get away with it.
However you have a responsibility to not say that and if you do choose to say it then you are responsible for what happens after that or as you say be held accountable.
Americans sometimes say ‘Freedom isn’t free’. And they are right. Along with our freedoms comes responsibilities. It doesn’t always work but that is the basis of democracy.
As for the ROK Drop. Some people might forget that just because we can comment here after only typing in our nickname and email address that the ROK Drop is ours that we can do as we please.
But in reality, it’s GIKorea’s private property and he is our host.
And our host has been gracious enought to open the gates and let us come and go as we please without giving much thought to policing his property.
Simply put, we have been granted the privilege to post whatever we want here and if he chooses to he can revoke that privilege.
Or worse he can decide that he has had enough and shut down the property to public access altogehter.
So I believe in return for that privilege we have the responsibility to ensure that we will always have that privilege and the property remains open.
You know when Dear Comrade Setnaffova and his sockpuppets, Bird Brain and the always nagging Liz have put their foot in their mouths and backed themselves into a corner, when they throw everything but the kitchen sink.
So predictable.
Setnaffa, Chickenbread posted nothing factual about me, ever. Like Osan leadership, Lt Davis, Covid, and a few other subjects, he craves a soapbox to stand on so he can crow to the wind to his 5 faithful subjects here. He’s a sad, lonely, loser who only has this forum to make him feel like the man he wishes he was.
Let’s see.
We have TOK, unable to decipher the present or predict the future…
…we have a satirical Tbone fanboi stealing the identity of a human worm and living in the 20 year-ago past…
…and a couple of Korean somethingorothers, one of which has nothing to say and the other of which is wrong more than right (but not always wrong).
All we need now is a bearded lady and some Siamese twins and we can take this freakshow on the road.
He’s a sad, lonely, loser who only has this forum to make him feel like the man he wishes he was.
Well said.
and a couple of Korean somethingorothers
This from a loser who couldn’t get laid on a Saturday night so had to pay an Uzbek bar girl to stand in front of him to make it look like he got laid or something.
I doubt he had the dough to pay her for the main course or better yet she undoubtedly turned him down because wait he wasn’t vaxxed.
Tok; I put your exact words in your mouth. Maybe your should take responsibility in the moment as you suggested; or just own up that what you said would have put many people who spoke the truth in jail over the last 2+ years.
Drago
22 hours ago Tok
“But some mistake it as ‘I can say anything I want and not take responsibility for it’.”
Let’s see.
A Russian name but trying to be much more reasonable.
However sticks to the exact same talking points and opinions of the Dear Comrade Setnaffova and his sockpuppets and when confronted doesn’t throw everything but the kitchen sink, but slips sideways and throws something else.
It seems that after setnaffa’s humiliation by TOK, he is trying a different tactic of using another sockpuppet with a more reasonable tone so people will listen to him more.
And are we to believe the Russian name is a mere coincidence?
“Everyone Who Disagrees with Me is a Setnaffa Sock Puppet” by Korean Person
And its amazing sequel, “So Everyone Agrees with Me Except One Person”.
And the soon-to-be-released “I’m Bordering on Too Stupid to Live”.
KP: do a little research. “Drago” is slavic as in Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Bulgarian and surprisingly outside of Rocky Movies is not a common name in Russia.
Also it’s interesting you didn’t comment on my actual comment since you don’t have any actual basis to challenge it.
Drago, you forgot Romanian.
How interesting that you copied that exactly from Wikipedia.
“And the soon-to-be-released “I’m Bordering on Too Stupid to Live”.”
I don’t think he is alive in the sense the rest of us are. But yes, pull the plug on the twat-bot please.
KP; “How interesting that you copied that exactly from Wikipedia.”
No I didn’t; I left out so many other countries just to refocus the discussion that Russia is a very small resource of Dragos outside of Hollywood and you.
KP: “And are we to believe the Russian name is a mere coincidence?”
It isn’t Russian and it isn’t. And It will not be as much as you hope it to be. When challenged you said:
KP: “Drago, you forgot Romanian.” I also left out Italy and the USA. The name is actually gaining numbers in the USA probably until this year.
KP: “How interesting that you copied that exactly from Wikipedia.”
Drago in Romanian is Balaur IF you accept that both Drago and Balaur mean the same thing and they often do not then you are right but you are not. From Rough translation many countries have the chosen name Drago. Drago can mean “lighted, enlightened one” or “Dragon” in the most common translations.
Well done KP, You exonerated me from your slur and started a new misinformation drive.
You claimed Drago was Russian but it is not. I pointed that out but like every nation there are variables so even outside the Rocky movies you saw there might be Russian Dragos.
As a first name, Drago is most commonly from those from Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Bulgarian decent and wait for it the USA.
KP as a first name most commonly is likely associate with a Chinese Propaganda chief but one that is fairly easily discredited. You suck at your job.
KP has a strange fixation on the CEO of United Airlines.
It is very important to him everyone believes he is credible even though he has been proven to be a liar, and a bad liar at that.
Strange coicidence.
A serious question: Is Mexican Healthcare Better than that of the USA?
I had high hopes for our Dear Slav, Drago.
I thought he would be a good challenge compared to Bird Brain, the Scotsman, and the Nagging Liz.
But alas, I was mistaken.
At first, I did suspect him to one of the usual Setnaffova’s creations but with more thought, logic, reason, cunning and guile compared to the others.
The ultimate weapon.
But after some testing by me, it seems that the Slav is no more smart than the other Setnaffova creations.
Because, at the end of the day, he also resorted to the predictable pattern of throwing everything but the kitchen sink tactic in order to drown out the opposition.
Not only that there was the humiliation of the Nagging Liz coming to the rescue of the hapless Slav.
Come on Dear Comrade. Is this the best you can do?
Sorry, Drago, you are just as worthless as the rest of us.
But at least you have guile.
I never got credited for having any of that.
I used to work at a Radio Shack near where the pot growers in Northern California plied their trade.
Every so often, one would come in and, in a conspiratorial voice, tell me the same kind of tinfoil-wrapped dirty-diaper-fantasies put forward by Captains Ahab.
Therefore, I assume the crotchety old buzzard got some hash oil mixed in with his fungicide cream. Nothing an honest MD couldn’t correct; but they may not have one of those in that part of Wuhan under the new lockdown…
