(3,308 posts)57. The Sincheonji cult in South Korea
The leader of the cult, Lee Man-hui, at his press conference has attempted to hold one member,known as "case 31" personally responsible as a "super spreader" for the catastrophic outbreak in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Cheongdo, and related commmunities. This obviates several dimensions of the problem. There remains the consistent effort by the cult to obscure the Wuhan connection from the government and public. Believers were told and this was recorded in one congregation in Pusan, that members from Wuhan were not infected, and that believers would not be affected by the virus. The behavior of case 31 is consistent with a delusion within the sect that sickness is the sign of the devil, and in this specific epidemic, the devil's blow against the organization. This explains why patient 31 refused the covid 19 test on two occasions while infected, and attended packed worship services while symptomatic. It also explains why members of the church told to self quarantine, continued to play active roles in the outside community, including 2 infected members who provided public health services and failed to reveal their Shincheonji affiliation until symptomatic with virus and proven to have covid 19.
