South Korea to launch mass coronavirus testing while the United States pledges $1 billion for developing a vaccine Follow our live blog for coronavirus updates:

SEOUL/BEIJING - South Korea aims to test more than 200,000 members of a church at the center of a surge in coronavirus cases while the United States pledged $2.5 billion to fight the disease, as it spreads rapidly beyond China’s borders to Europe and the Middle East.

Japan’s government urged people to telecommute or work staggered hours to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and Hong Kong media reported that schools in the Asian financial hub would remain closed for another month. The disclosure came during a visit to the Pentagon by South Korean Defence Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo, who acknowledged following talks with U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper that 13 South Korean troops had tested positive for the virus.

South Korea - which remains technically at war with the nuclear-armed North - has the most virus cases in Asia outside China and reported its ninth death and 60 new cases on Tuesday, for a total of 893 cases.Of the new cases, 16 were in the southeastern city of Daegu, where a church at the center of the outbreak is located, and 33 were from North Gyeongsang Province, health officials said.

韓国にいる米兵は本国に帰れないのかな😅

Ya think?

But S. Korea paid millions to the US military for these drills. Where's the value for money? Must ask for a refund!

Tiny biological system 1 - Military 0

A virus can bring down the biggest army. 🐰

oh man ! again ! pass !

Send a sick person over the border. They'll surrender in 3 days tops. No need for drills after that

Huston, we have a problem

Так бы и сказали, боимся.....

Giving ideas to North Korea 🇰🇵, fast spreadin virus and its affects on your competitor/enemy.

ROK-USA bond is still tight. It’s OK halt the military drill this time. We have a lots of time remained, and lots of work to do. Additionally, F—K U WHO.

We at mapsofworld have been tracking the spread of coronavirus since 27th January 2020. We have been updating this article with the latest map and figures regularly. coronavirus COVIDー19

The 'unofficial' numbers from China, is over 1 million infected, tens of thousands dead. Would explain why China quarantined 500 MILLION people Look at how its spreading OUTSIDE of China. Its EXPLODING CDC response: No tests done = no infection found

USA must be testing local cases now, surprised the numbers have not increased but maybe its lack of testing supplies like many other nations.

The CDC test kits dont work The CDC has no schedule for new test kits Less than 30 people have been test for COVID19 in the US The est population of the US is 325 MILLION people CDC specified STRICT guidelines as to WHO/WHEN someone gets tested which is NEVER

Any so called pledge by the US cannot be taken seriously due to the fact that the president is well known for stiffing EVERYONE. If the monies are pledged, they need to be put on the table first before anyone can seriously believe it.

🤔

Thanks USA
