He said the continuing confirmation of additional cases is "a critical phase" .....the situation has changed completely due to the massive number of infections of 'followers of a fringe religious group known as Shincheonji.'

Most of the cases were reported in Daegu, 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, and the neighboring province. "The crisis in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province reached its peak and the whole country has entered a war against the infectious disease," Moon said.

He ordered all of the government's organizations to shift to a "24-hour emergency situation room system," citing the need to bolster readiness to handle quarantine and economy-related measures.... adding that the government would spend 30 trillion won on dealing with the crisis, including a planned supplementary budget.

Sounds to me like they have identified some “undesirables” as is rumored to be happening in China. China can purge at will - point to those whom they want gone and say the magic word “Infected” and BOOM - they can be dragged off and not heard from again.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

We have weird religeous groups here too that keep to themselves from the outside world. Apparently the Korean group had a host of people infected. Probably the type who never go to Dr’s.

we’ve got our share here too BTW. Another reason I wish we didn’t allow so many immigrants here. They no longer integrate rather set up their own communities the same as the culture they left behind....and with whatever wild and weird practices they brought with them.

Ah thank you...but did a currency exchange and it's around 25 billion dollars. Still a lot of money.

I figured my buck and half ‘estimate’ might have been a wee bit low (now if it had been 30 Trillion Zimbabwe dollars - probably not). You’re right, 25 Billion Dollars is a lot.

You do realize that we have exported Mormonism to the rest of the world? And that this is not the only form of religion the U.S. has exported?

Do you recall Jonestown?

We’d be better off with Mars. Martians are some tough sons of b’s for sure.
