Hello, I'm jisung kim of South Korea
these days many country praise south korea.
so, Im talking about how South korea is responding to the corona virus
few days ago i went to gunsan area. (3 hours from seoul )
Surprise thing is nobody care, corona virus.
do you know why?
because gunsan area, fewer than 10 confirmed patients.
I'll tell you why the virus has little impact in korea.
first. Country send message
- where we go, they send message to citizen. even we go dangerous area, we got message immediately. the reason we can do this is because Internet infrastructure is well installed. There is no other country has a better internet connection than korea.
Second. Social atmosphere
- when corona virus burst, Country ordered this to be broadcast. When first time virus breaks out, I didn't recognize how serious it was. but gradually, while watching the broadcast, i thought i had to be carefull. I think many koreans are thinking the same way as me.
2020/5/9 the total number of confirmed was 10,822/ cured 9,484 / death 256
Finally, welfare policy is well established
- If you sick, you can go hospital and then Just pay a small coat (the cost of diagnosis of colds is about $20 on average). becuase korean must be join medical Insurance is required. that's why one of reasons many people can be diagnosed with coronavirus.
For this reasons, korean people live without worries
Although the trend of virus growth is gradually decreading, we need to be more careful. I pray that the aftermath of the virus could end as soon as possible.
