Feb 2020

I have a friend who works in public health in Korea. He posted some really wild rumors people from Seoul are saying yesterday about the source of Covid-19, and how Korea still has not imposed travel restrictions with China. Also tangled up is some rumors about US Army being aware of and working with Korean biological warfare experts, etc. some really wild, unsubstantiated things.

There is a great deal of friction and mistrust right now between political entities in South Korea- more so that our Rep/Dem battles. It’s not good to have that kind of friction at the same time they are dealing with Covid-19 issues. I hope they can contain the outbreaks about to happen.
