Whether voluntary or not, foreign deployment is inherently political. Anyone can identify the significance of it, which is that we're easily coerced into fighting europe's war which europe has no interest in spilling blood. Downright disrespectful and an easy rejection.

Lol no thanks.

It was pretty amusing to see the fake news saying we'll deploy spread all over the place in the western media. And then the disappointment and hate we got once they discovered they've been lied to.

At least they were honest enough to let me know that ads are just a swipe away from the home screen.

Punishing could refer to bans (anticheat) when used in gaming context.

They used up all the stock for the second shot for initial dose to inflate the numbers and hit the goal. We're short on vaccines, which is why the number of people fully vaccinated has stagnated for weeks since June.

When the hospitals run out of beds, it's a collapse in the system. It's not a "total medical system collapse" since it lasted a day or two and the number of people affected was small (probably around 10-100), but the situation could have easily been worse and we would have had one like new york last year.

South Korean here and I just wanted to add some thoughts. The real reasoning for the ridiculous ban is because they've been shutting down the gyms whenever the numbers spike but can't anymore because the business owners are in a desperate state because of the prolonged shutdowns. So it's their way of saying please don't to the gyms while avoiding a total outlash from the gym owners.

Obviously how well we're managing the pandemic while protecting civil liberty and privacy is a hot political discussion. We managed to keep things mostly under control and prevented total medical system collapse and kept the mortality rate low, while on the other side we didn't put nearly as enough resources into securing the vaccines so we're paying the price now.
