South Korean officials say the number of deaths is still relatively low thanks to high vaccination rates. More than 85 percent of the country’s population is fully vaccinated, and more than 60 percent have received a booster shot. South Korea’s covid-19 death rate is just 0.14 percent, officials note.

“Since omicron became the dominant variant, we have been making preparations for a surge in patients, but we are sorry about this sharp surge that exceeded our expectations,” he said.

Health authorities announced this week that vaccinations for children ages 5 to 11 will start at the end of this month.

The *experts* were GUESSING (30 days ago) that S.KOREA
would PEAK now (March 15th) at around 350,000 Infections Per Day ...

They *definitely* UNDER ESTIMATED the BA.2 sub-variant situation.

Again though , S.KOREA is actually *better* prepared for this situation
than a LOT of nations are ... Their *high percentage* of S.K population

*VACCINATIONS* means *LESS* hospitalizations and deaths,

as *percentage* of those who are BA.2 infected.

KONG KONG = COVID HELL (Deadly) ...

S.K is in *way better* shape than H.K.

the actual number is likely double when you account for asymptomatic cases and people who just stay home instead of getting tested.
