South Korea new daily corona cases nearly doubles - 171452 new cases today! :(

It is *likely* a situation (S.KOREA) on COVID OMICRON ...
Where the BA.2 Variant (of OMICRON) is involved ...

The BA.2 Variant spreads even MORE (faster) than

the original OMICRON.

But also , *thankfully* , the BA.2 OMICRON Variant is

NOT likely to make one *more sick* than normal OMICRON.

Meaning , an S.K citizen is NOT likely to be hospitalized
due to OMICRON BA.2 Variant.

BUT , this is still TERRIBLE NEWS for S.KOREA ...
Because a *very small percentage* (say 3%) are *extremely* vulnerable

to COVID OMICRON BA.2 ... In other words , they end up *VERY SICK*

and HOSPITALIZED ... And *some* of them (that 3%) WILL DIE.

And this situation will *stress* the S.KOREA HOSPITAL system ,

in terms of available HOSPITAL BEDS ... There will be MORE DEATHS

in S.KOREA from COVID OMICRON BA.2 ... But again , IF that

the OMICRON BA.2 was *extemely* DEADLY for a LOT of people ,

THEN it would be COMPLETE DEADLY NIGHTMARE for S.KOREA.

(Note: COVID OMICRON BA.2 = *SUB-Variant* = technical correctly)

*VACCINATION* does *help significantly* with COVID OMICRON BA.2 ...

In terms of how *STRONGLY SICK* that you might get from it. And

S.KOREA = *High Percentage* of VACCINATED population ...

S.Korea is WAY BETTER than most nations like *FAILURE* USA (my view).

Click for My THREAD referencing *prediction* by experts

That *200,000* Daily Infections of COVID OMICRON BA.2

could very well happen in S.KOREA.

This is actually NOT a surprise (sadly) , to COVID *experts* ...

About what is *now* happening with S.KOREA and COVID (*growth* of it).
