deadliest day of the pandemic on Saturday, reporting 112 fatalities in the latest 24-hour period, as it grapples with a wave of coronavirus infections driven by the fast-moving omicron variant.

How can the above be true when so many of this site's anti-democracy posters have claimed the virus is finished, it's party time, time to join truck convoys and camp in the streets. Many said don't listen to health experts because they're just trying to take your freedoms away.

Or are the anti-democracy posters going to say the above is fake news, part of a media plot? And then say those who died or were sickened were probably old and had underlying conditions, something the anti-democracy herds and believers in eugenics have claimed to dismiss how powerful this virus has been, and apparently if the news above is to be believed still in fact is.

So many many many more cases in Korea than Japan. Some might say proof of how well the Japanese quasi emergencies work. Others might say the pictures tell the story and it might have something to do with a massive difference in the daily number of tests which might effect how many cases can ever be officially found. . One thing for certain it is not the third booster vaccines as Japan has barely started those , unless of course it is the absence of the third booster that makes the difference

South Korea saw its deadliest day of the pandemic on Saturday, reporting 112 fatalities in the latest 24-hour period, as it grapples with a wave of coronavirus infections driven by the fast-moving omicron variant.

If Japan had the same level of push-back against the pronouncements of their political apparatus that South Korea has.. who knows what the figures would be domestically? Just asking questions..

And how many deaths?

Not reported in the article as the number in winter, of the aged dying, might not fit the ‘deadly’ narrative?

And if waiting in line for an Omicron test in freezing temperatures is not a danger to health then what is?

there are probably many factors that aren’t known yet that may or may not effect different cultures, foods eaten, etc. ” I follow the science” means I don’t know what the hell to do. The science Is ever evolving and we just found out the CDC was withholding covid vaccine studies with info that would be beneficial for persons to make their own decision. But no…we the elite know what’s good for you. Also info saying that we may not need to be boosted. I’ve got my 2 jabs but, debating boosters at this point
