U.S. Forces Korea counted 467 new COVID-19 cases in the week ending Monday, the highest number of infections reported by the command since the pandemic began in March 2020.

How many have died ?

Korean War Casualties

Nearly 5 million people died. More than half of these–about 10 percent of Korea's prewar population–were civilians. (This rate of civilian casualties was higher than World War II's and the Vietnam War's.) Almost 40,000 Americans died in action in Korea, and more than 100,000 were wounded.

Here is a reason Ms. Blueplum needs to cite her favorite stories, this latest about troops in South Korea.

Data as of 1 January 2022

( 5,625 “official” Covid deaths over two years / 51,269,185 population of South Korea ) x 100 = 0.011 percent.

About one one-hundredth of one percent.

So how to tell the story of "new cases?" Infections? Imply sickness and death! Requiescat in pace, DMZ. RIP U.S. Forces Korea.

From the article, "Nearly 86% of the country's 51.8 million people have received the first dose of a vaccine and 82.6% are fully vaccinated as of Wednesday, according to the KDCA. Over 16.5 million people in the country have received a booster shot."

Sounds like all those injections are protecting...

In another article posted this day, Mrs. Blueplum also pronounced RIP for Eastern Europe. See a consistency here?
