So here in Korea I did some looking into Covid numbers, Korea is a densely populated country. For example I’m from North Carolina and that state has right under 10 million people, South Korea is a tad smaller then North Carolina but has just over 50 million in population. In the USA there are about 87 people per square mile, in South Korea there are 1,300 per square mile. So we are literally living on top of each other.
Here are the reported Covid death numbers:
South Korea: 2,173
USA: 622,321
If I give South Korea the same population as the USA then the covid numbers based on 332 million people would break down to the following:
South Korea 14,428
Which seems like MUCH more realistic numbers then 620 thousand dead in the USA.
Also have to remember, people are much more close here and live in big cities, while 99% of people do wear masks, there is no social distancing, there have been no mandatory lock downs, restaurants are all open and nobody wears a mask inside and they are packed, bars are packed, streets are packed. I could chalk this up to mask wearing, but where people would be most vulnerable sitting and eating in very confined spaces, nobody wears a mask.
The biggest effect on people is things the local government has done with masking on public transportation, but otherwise that is it really. There is a ton of contract tracing in business, but considering the low deaths, these don’t turn up much.
Also a side note, in 2019 in South Korea alone there were more than 14,000 suicides, this was before covid, for some reason I can’t find the sucide numbers for 2020…. Which I can only imagine got much worse.
Idk, something to think about.
You know, I'm not sure. I live in the city Daegu that last year had the first major outbreak outside of China. And things were closed for about a week I guess, outside of grocery stores and pharmacy's.
My only take on it, if we believe the USA numbers are truth, is that in general the Korea people don't have a ton of comorbidities. In my city the people who died early on were people who were in their 80s and 90s..
This. Id have to find the article and numbers, but I believe 90% had a "co-morbidity" listed for their death, and 70% were overweight and 40% were obese.
People dying from bad life choices or other medical issues, and being blamed on Covid.
You dont see many obese people in asian countries..
Yep... which if you extrapolate that idea a tad more.
If China was to engineer a bio weapon... one that attacks fat and sick people... would obviously hurt the United States more then any other place on earth.
I mean, they've shown that those ancestry tracking companies and such, were all sending their samples to China.
The perfect cover to get the genetic data of people you wish to target with your next bioweapon. Pair that with people who already have poor health (and aggravating their pre-existing conditions) and it wouldnt be surprising if its the truth.
Yep and I remember waaaaay back in the day listening to Coast to Coast am like 20 year ago when someone on there was talking about engineered bio weapons that could attack certain races through genetics.
The only thing that sorta doesn't work so much with the theory is that India isn't having a tough go of it if we believe the numbers.... which I really don't.
