Perhaps more immune system destroying jabs will save South Korea? Then an implantable chip will be necessary to keep people alive…

Rooters...

S.Korea's total COVID cases top 10 million as crematoria, funeral homes overwhelmed

I'm wondering how many if the hospitalizations and fatalities are vaxx related...

SK isn't transparent on the data.

Some of any coof in the hospitals could be nosocomial, spread by vaxxed superspreader employees.

Doesn’t look like SK is making data on any nosocomial spread available to the public, either...

A little confusing. Both these numbers are totals since beginning, but South Korea did not have many cases until now. Anyway 13,432/10427247 = .00128 or 0.1% for fatality rate. This is South Korea and I think their numbers are much more reliable than US and probably more reliable than Europe. Some flu numbers I have seen are 0.01 to 0.09. I think the flu numbers are inflated but probably do not include a really bad flu season. When is the last time we had a really bad flu season?

South Korea has 86.67% of population with 2 covid shots. Shots not having much effect. Could be shots are effect < 6 months or the shots are not effective against Omicron. Given that we are 3 versions away from the alpha that the shot was based on I think the shot is not effective against Omicron. This does not seem to show any antibody-dependent enhancement.

10 million is 1/5 of the population. At this point you cannot contain but it will burn itself out very fast. UK was about a month with Omicron.

So. We go from DEATHS, to CASES, and now INFECTIONS?

How does one assess such an ever-changing lexicon? In my little county there are NO DEATHS and NO CASES recorded for a bit now.

Consider this in the context of a visit to the emergency room. My wife made a 3 hour visit to the ER for a diabetic DKA. Blood draw and a normal saline IV was the extent of the activity. Billing? Over $4,0000. Now, scale this trivial trip to 10,0000,000 cases of COVID getting a similar minimal level of interaction. $40 billion in ER billing. A PCR test costs more than a bag of saline for IV.

Ebola "burns out" by killing the hosts. SARS-CoV-2 ranges from mild illness to a killing infection. The immunity it leaves behind is fleeting. Reinfections (2 to 4 times) are common. SARS-CoV-2 leaves disability in its wake more often than death.

Classic example of "pay me now, or pay me later" with this virus. Check out South Korea's case curve:

Hell of a vax, isn't it? Working like a charm.

--- "South Korean COVID-19 infections top 10 million"

As of 23 March 2022, South Korea is reported to have 10,427,247 "Confirmed Cases" and 13,432 "Deaths."

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/south-korea

And also "13,432, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), per Reuters."

( 13,432 deaths in Korea over more than two years / 51,344,146 population of South Korea ) x 100 = 0.026 % mortality rate.

Less than 3/10ths of one percent over twenty-six months.

Given the mortality rate in South Korea, the chance of South Koreans surviving this pandemic is a tiny 99.97%. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, Reuters and all those "official" pandemic sources want the world to PANIC!

The mortality rate calculated from "official" sources demonstrates that this pandemic is a continuing media event.

--- "UK was about a month with Omicron."

As of 23 March 2022, the United Kingdom has had 20,566,021 "Confirmed Cases" and 164,516 "Deaths."

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/united-kingdom

( 164,516 deaths in the UK over more than two years / 68,487,936 population of the UK ) x 100 = 0.24 % mortality rate.

South Korea's mortality rate -- 0.026 % -- compared to the UK's 0.24 % mortality rate?

What accounts for the UK's ten times higher -- and yet still small -- mortality rate versus South Korea? It's an interesting question. Care to venture a SAGE answer?
