South Korea put us to shame


They are only about 1/6 our population, but...

10k cases
174 deaths
6k recoveries

We both got our first case at the same time around January 19. What did they do differently? They began focusing on tests in December.

And here we are...

245k cases
6k deaths
10,400 recoveries

Oh but our government handled it soooooo well, right Trumpers? And surely the removal of the pandemic team didn't hurt at all, right Trumpers?

THAT 1/6 THE POPULATION THINGS WAS A BIG HEAD START..OH,AND THEN FOR YOUR BIG FINISH TO PROVE YOURE BETTER THAN "TRUMPERS"..YOU TAUNT "THEM" LIKE A CHILD.

reply

I treat them like children because their cult leader acts like one. You are free to criticize me for it, but at least I know how to utilize my caps lock.

reply

IF YOU PLAY A CHILD'S GAME,YOU ARE A CHILD.

Don't forget - Seoul has 38 million people, according to T-rump who knows South Korea 'better than anyone else'.

reply

There is a reason for this.

South Korea had a virus scare a few years back (it did not reach the US) that hit the county hard.

The government learned from this experience, took a great deal of criticism from it's people and put in place safeguards and emergency procedures for the next virus scare.

S Korea government isn't just 'naturaly' better.

reply

Ebola did reach the US though, and a lot of people were scared by it.

Once again ultraviolent, you prove Ignorance is Strength and all for what? To fit your Orange Man Bad narrative?

A smaller and homogeneous population. Does that make difference, yes or no? If it does, then you're comparing apples to oranges. You do know those aren't comparable, yes?

SK's proximity to China ISN'T separated by an ocean. Thus, with all of the pandemic viruses coming out of their neighbor, China's backyard, i.e. SARS, Swine flu, etc. all recent I may add, they are much more prepared. It's like comparing LA to NYC in regards to an earthquake. NYC can have a catastrophic earthquake, but LA is much more prepared because LA is simply prone to earthquakes more often. Are you going to bitch to NYC for not being earthquake prepared and retrofit the skyscrapers?

Of course since you blame Trump for everything, let's look at what YOUR candidates would've done. Bernie and Biden both WOULD NOT have issued the travel ban citing XENOPHOBIA as the reason. How stupid is that? Thus, the US would've been worse off with one of your candidates at the helm, yes? So thankfully, Trump WAS AND IS President during this pandemic, yes?

Here's the icing on the cake. If one of your candidates was President and the situation was worse off than it currently is, you wouldn't be bitching about a thing. True, yes? Hypocritical you are , yes? You're phony AND you're stupid. Then again, what else is new?

Trump fucked up. It's funny. Fox News had this doctor on an interview but cut it after a minute when he made this exact comparison with South Korea.

So taking all things into consideration:

1/6th the population.
Proximity to China.
Previous and recent pandemic scares from China.
Homogeneous population.

Isn't it easier to get the population all in line? Wasn't the country pre-prepared due to recent outbreaks from China i.e. Swine flu and SARS?

Pray tell me you got something more than, "Trump fucked up." You've disappointed me quite a bit. Are you a lost cause? Have you no INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, like dogdump and ultraviolent etc.?

reply

"...Pray tell me you got something more than, "Trump fucked up."

Sure, he even lied about doing more tests than the Koreans did. Why lie? Why did he wait to take action before it spread as much as it has now?

You've disappointed me quite a bit."

I'll live.

reply

When did he say that, exactly?

Why did he wait to take action before it spread as much as it has now? As opposed to what exactly? So a travel ban on China on 1/31/20 was not early enough? If not, then why did Bernie and Biden, two candidates that YOU WOULD VOTE FOR, say they wouldn't have issued the travel ban, thus would've made the issue even worse?

Your answer here will determine if have any INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. I'm glad you'll live. I'm not wishing for you to die because of it.

reply

That's probably the source. Funny how it was on Fox News. She didn't know what to say.

reply

Her teleprompter was probably flashing:

CODE RED!

SAY 'GOODBYE TO HIM'! SAY 'GOODBYE TO HIM'!

DO NOT KEEP HIM ON AIR ANY LONGER!

END THIS INTERVIEW NOW!


I mean here he is giving a detailed comparison, and all she can say at the end is "Hmmmm...thank you for being here..." ? No follow-up questions?

reply

He didn't say the magic words "Trump is doing a terrific job" required for him to stay on air longer.

reply

I love how you engage in "honest discussions", board nazi. Instead of defending you claim and engaging people with their differences of opinion, you retreat to the solace of a proven and shameless liar. Why? Simply because he's sympathetic to your narrative.

Such "honest discussions" you have with your fellow indoctrinated komrades, yes? I mean here it is for all of us to see. All you do give each other reach arounds as you reiterated the daily talking points handed out by your kommissar. The enlightenment you all must gain is truly unfathomable in my mind. Your phoniness is truly on a different level. 🤪🤪🤪

reply

Indeed. He could've at least started the interview with "Every day I wake and thank the heavens above that T-rump is the President during these challenging times, because I know we're in good, safe hands." They would've given him a full hour.

reply

WOW! That interview didn't go as planned. How dare he start talking about facts and figures! No wonder there weren't follow-up questions from Blondie. LOL!
