Korean experts in this piece say they do not think #coronavirus infections in Korea are in downward trend. It only looks like it bc of the unique case of cluster infection of #shincheonji in Daegu. Rather they think Korea’s at an early stage of a pandemic. news.v.daum.net/v/202003131440…
If you exclude #shincheonji factor, Korea is reporting about 120 cases every day. They say the best chance for Korea is 1)keep that level as long as it can 2)maintain good medical capacity 3)minimise deaths.

They believe Covid19 may be around until Oct to Nov. The reason being
there could be another cluster infections. Korea is a high density society that prefers efficiency and lowcost.
(Cases in point: how call centres and longterm care facilities operate.)
The govt may not wanna hear this, but they say the govt better get ready for “a prolonged war.”
They describe #covid19 as a virus that makes epidemiologists “humble.” It evolved in a smart way. It’s got every factor that makes prevention impossible.
Usually a virus becomes more infectious when symptoms strengthen but not this one. It also seem to be lingering longer.
