if this is what gets me shitcanned, then so be it.
You think you'll get fired for missing a 회식?
Elementary third grade comes into class, all wearing those useless unfitted paper masks -- except the one dirtiest kid. And the teacher has her mask down over her nose for the whole class, so there's zero purpose for her to be wearing it at all, besides for show. Meanwhile, all during class the kids keep touching their faces and adjusting those stupid masks. CT says nothing, so I repeatedly warn the students, patiently but firmly, in Korean, to stop touching their faces; that's how they spread the germs. So, just as all the western health professionals on the news have warned, the ill-fitting masks are actually more dangerous than no mask. After class, CT tells me we're having 회식 next week to say goodbye to the teachers who are leaving this year. I ask, "Isn't that dangerous right now?" We're pretty close to the most recently reported coronavirus case (who was allowed to wander around for weeks, showing symptoms, before someone had the ****** sense to test her). CT asks me, "If we have dinner, you don't want to come?" I said, "I think it's dangerous right now for everyone to share plates. Don't you think so?" She said, "Anyway, we'll talk about it." I want to stay at this school. I'm happy here. But after 5 years in Korea, if this is what gets me shitcanned, then so be it.
Honestly, I would grab something and eat before the dinner, and then just have a few drinks at dinner. maybe even before everyone starts dipping their chopsticks in, put a few side dishes on your plate and wait for the rice (usually in individual bowls) to come and then have a bit more. Or just don't go on about the virus, just tell them you have a pre-arranged plan and that you will see if you can change it, then get back to her the next day and tell her that it can't be changed.

The absolute best thing you could do is a gait analysis. I've been to different doctors in Korea with no luck, they seem pretty crap at diagnosing sports related injuries. A gait analysis would have you walking and running on a treadmill, with sensors hooked up to your joints, and a professional analysing your walking and running form. This was how I discovered my issue. Sadly, I haven't had luck finding anywhere in Korea that does a gait analysis, I did mine in California.
That's.................. .. cooking. You just described cooking around the world, in every culture and every price of restaurant.
1) As far as masks go they are A) Just as effective as covering your mouth with your hand B) Western health professionals have said that N95 masks, which I'm assuming some of them are, DO protect against droplets, but they aren't full-proof. C) This is more for their mother's peace of mind (a phenomenon that happens worldwide) 2) As far as face-touching, dude, you're talking to elementary aged children. Telling them not to touch their faces might as well be like telling them not to breathe. FFS, another example of how some people here just don't understand kids. 3) As others have said, it's not an outbreak in Korea. "I'm freaked out to share plates with my coworkers, so I'll skip the company dinner to go out for pizza and wings and a basket of fries with my friends and we'll get drunk and cheers each other and then try and hook up with a random stranger."They dropped food by hand into boiling water? OMG
haha i've seen this complaint on the internet a lot (usually from americans it seems?)BuT He'S NoT WeArInG GloVeSi don't think i've ever seen a professional chef wear gloves while cooking on tv. have you?
Good lord. OK, one example knocked down. You're right. Korean restaurants are the gold standard for hygiene. Faces: saved.

It's not a matter of wearing gloves. It's that there's never any hand soap or hot water in the toilet, which is filthy, and even if there were, hand washing isn't much of a thing here anyway. I've said I'm rarely squeamish. I've eaten all this stuff. Not gotten sick. That doesn't make their cooking practices sanitary or hygienic. omg I'm becoming one of you. OK, over n out.

How do you know she would do this? Or do you just think all foreigners do this?

Where did I lump all foreigners together?
Wait, you're the guy who thinks Lolita is a work of erotic. fiction, right? What are you doing around children in the first place?
Just leave him be watching a baseball game on his phone in a restaurant with all his mates gathered around it, instead of, like, you know, talking to each other like what normal people do.
