If it were some third world country I'd pass it off as incompetent health management and inadequate resources. But this is South Korea. They've got fully modern healthcare facilities and good personnel. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69451450 If they can't stop it then the question must be asked if anybody else can. Oooo lookie someone's thinking. |

At first you get the typical viral cold symptoms...Then comes to intestinal discomfort bleeding from your ass so and so forth. Then you die from from the kidney failure it causes. If this comes to the USA there are not enough dialysis machines available.. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69337099 United States 06/11/2015 10:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hong Kong issued a red alert and advised against traveling to South Korea, where an epidemic of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is gaining pace. The virus is spreading despite attempts to contain the outbreak. Quoting: DanielPT [link to rt.com] South Korea is in fact doing an excellent job of isolating those with it. MERS is a global disease.. it is not limited to the orient. I was thruout the US of A this past winter and heavy in colorado in particular where it was "unnamed"... |

Has it mutated? Covid Jab Experiment - I'm in the control group. The reason the left wants you disarmed is because they plan to do things to you that you would shoot them for. To a cat, "No" just means to try again later. Silver kills disease organisms and also cures banksteritis. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 57658125 South Korea 06/12/2015 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The government kept the hospitals (24 in total), at which MERS patients were being treated, a secret. Result: the vast majority of diagnosed MERS cases can be traced back to visitors to those twenty-four hospitals. So in other words, the general population was kept ignorant of the "danger areas" which resulted in even more people being infected thus contributing to the overall problem. All because the government did not feel it necessary to tell the people the truth. (Recurring issue in South Korean Politics since 1945). WTF right? The government does not tell people where the highest risks of infection are locally, instead they tell people not to eat camel meat in South Korea. How many of you people have seen a Camel-Koggi store here? So why would the government do such a despicable thing and not inform its citizens of the danger? Easy, profit plain and simple. People would avoid the hospitals and as a result they would loose money. And as with all capitalist regimes, profits always come before people. (This is very concerning. If it were some third world country I'd pass it off as incompetent health management and inadequate resources. But this is South Korea. They've got fully modern healthcare facilities and good personnel. If they can't stop it then the question must be asked if anybody else can.) Have you visited Korea? How doe you know it is not some third world country? Koreans are too proud to admit their faults and they won't ask for help. You should what is real Korea like--it's a filthy place there's no common sense for keeping things clean. |
