I guess time to quit go home. But the question is would they come back or would Korea lose the teachers for good. South Africans are already banned from coming in. I expect some teacher shortages for a while then. They will lose too many teachers.
Aren't all teachers vaccinated by now? I thought that was already a rule issued by the Ministry of Education?
I eat out and I'm not cowering at home, but I hear some people go on about this and it's ridiculous. You're not IN traffic, you ARE traffic.

If you're going to be covid paranoid, just stay home and live in fear? Isn't it better than being out and panicked all the time? I have always eaten out and never had an issue since this began.
Aren't you the guy who has been scared to go to Seoul?
I have a massive headache, and I forgot to bring Advil with me to school. I'll try to sneak out to a pharmacy in a bit, but I'm dying rn.
I still eat at restaurants in my town and do things.
This government has done the same thing with restricting crypto earlier in the year, especially restricting foreigners. It is an incredible mark of stubbornness where they do what they want and ignore what others want or need.
Did you see taxation of crypto has been delayed until at least 2023. But…the no foreigners bit stayed in place. Maybe because foreigners can’t vote?
I don't know. I haven't been this week yet. I heard an un vaccinated person can only be solo or a crowd can only have one person. I guess, I will find out if they changed the rule and became more fascist. Anyways, I was eating out with no fear unlike some.
After having to go to hospitals here A LOT last year cause of some major health issues, my experience has been, while it's affordable and generally pretty quick to be seen here, it takes a long time for a doctor to take you seriously, and when they finally do, they are very inefficient with how they check you out.
On the flip side, when I went to a local clinic to check out my abdominal pain earlier this year (a pain that I was hand-waving away as a delayed reaction to the vaccine or something, or idk, food poisoning), even though the ultrasound didn't show anything, the lady who checked me there was firm that the location of the pain was concerning, and that I needed more tests elsewhere. Local hospital was swamped (Corona and a strike, I think), so I went to some surgery/health center, and within like three hours, I had a CT scan and was prepping for surgery to get my appendix out.After reading lots of stories of people who tried to wait appendicitis out (not knowing what it was); I'm very glad that she made me get that second test.
