country from everywhere in the world at a fraction of the rate the US did.
Also SK has very little ethic diversity. Doesn't have immigration challenges. And didn't just watch 6 months of rioting and looting.
In sum, comparing SK to the US is a fools errand. |
I also am in contact with people in SK. They have kept their infection rate down because people have voluntarily co-operated with masking, distancing
and keeping non-essential movement to a minimum. Like intelligent adults, not like the US babies throwing tantrums about violating their "rights" to
spread a deadly virus.
They also have respect for their elders and don't expect them to have to hide themselves away so young people can party.

i agree, i traveled to south Korea every month for 22years. they have cultural characteristics that make the proper health protocol possible.
american culture, like many cultures is seriously flawed.

Sounds like you guys should move to SK and forfeit your US citizenship. Congrats, and good luck finding something similar to Baja over there, maybe
Malaysia or Thailand?

Sounds to me like you continue to present yourself as an expert on all things....except when mooching gps points or ideas of where to go in
Baja.....you know.....that parasitic tendency you have....

Ah, the love it or leave it mentality. Stalwart of the flag-waving crowd. Saves having to come up with anything intelligent to say.
No worries- I renounced my US citizenship 40 years ago and have been living quite happily in Mexico for the past 20 years. Not in Baja, which isn't my
cup of tea. Too full of right wing, beer swilling American rednecks for me.

Shorty McJizzy:
Sounds like you should move to SK. You would do better in a shorter population, and would have fewer feelings of inadequacy if you found yourself
taller.
Or stay here and put lifts on your shoes.
Woke!

They have been individually wearing masks voluntarily throughout Asia long before it became the fad here in the US. Prior to COVID, mask use in the US
was pretty much limited to Halloween or for robbing a 7-11.

Yes, the Asians actually believe in long-established science on infectious disease control. Fancy that.

SanDiego is now back in the purple tier, Covid raging out of control,...
Biden gearing up to fight the virus,.... meanwhile, trump is hallucinating that he won, and it appears that Trump admin has given up on public health,
and are convinced that a vaccine will solve everyone’s problems,....
USA may get a vaccine by Q1 2021... but will it be promptly and widely available in Mexico?
Woke!
