South Korean virus cases jump again, 1st US soldier infected

A worker wearing protective gears sprays disinfectant as a precaution on a train against the new coronavirus at Suseo Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020. China and South Korea on Tuesday reported more cases of a new viral illness that has been concentrated in North Asia but is causing global worry as clusters grow in the Middle East and Europe.

A U.S. military statement said the 23-year-old soldier who tested positive was in self quarantine at his off-base residence. He had been based in Camp Caroll in a town near Daegu, and visited Camp Walker in Daegu earlier this week. “This week will be critical in the fight to combat the illness,” Prime Minister Chung Se-kyun said at meeting in Daegu City Hall to discuss quarantine efforts.

China has recorded 2,715 deaths from COVID-19 and 78,064 confirmed cases of the virus on the mainland. “It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen — and how many people in this country will have severe illness,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a call with reporters Tuesday.

The flu that followed WW1 arose, appeared to go away, only to surge back again and again in subsequent years, each time stronger than ever. No reason to think this one will behave any differently.

DemocratsCare Distressing, but not surprising. My prayers for a full recovery go with him and all our service members, and the Korean people. 🙏💙🙏 COVID19

Hope he recovers

Should we panic now ?

Very bad:( 🙏🇺🇸

Vietnamdidwell KoreansStopLying

You'll never be as dedicated to anything like those poor bastards playing badminton in hazmat suits.

saraecook Wonder what the US total is. We'll never know because Trump's CDC sent out faulty test kits! coronavirus

This inept administration couldn't be less prepared to handle a potential crisis like coronavirus. Mistakes, bad decisions and blunders are the direct result of having a lying degenerate in the oval office. THAT, people is why having a known liar for a president matters!

Stop including the word 'new' in front of coronavirus. It's just going to confuse people! They'll be like, 'Is there ANOTHER coronavirus!?'

While on a badminton court?

How did that happen now hitting the military

Korean government is a most transparent & most active country in the world about handling of the outbreak of COVID19. Other countries lag behind. Especially, Abe government of Japan hides a truth & shows a passive way about handling of it for Olympics.

Damn 🙏

Praying

Please fact check the report that an American soldier tested positive!

This is a worrying piece of news. I hope everything is all right.
