@koryodynasty This is just obsurd. There's nothing dangerous going on there. Pure politics.

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty May be pretty hypocritical of CCP, but they're right. These measures are completely pointless and do less than nothing.

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty What actually is the point of doing this, apart from making life worse for people for no reason?

I’m not sure how much my Twitter network knows (or cares):
This tweet is for the Iranian women & youths who are bravely leading Iran to a better future, and (IMHO) with a universal slogan: “Women, Life, Liberty”!

@koryodynasty Just flew into EU (Germany) yesterday. Noone even checked for vax certs anyway.

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@BadAstronomer Korea had the fastest increase in covid in the world. Best mask compliance in the world too. What does that say?

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty This actually happened under 문재인 didn't it...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@aKoreanInNL @koryodynasty Not really. Korea had the fastest spread *in the world*. That means everywhere else was slower, regardless of mask policy. If anything, the evidence suggests that it actually makes it worse.

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@mithridates @aKoreanInNL @koryodynasty At the start I made fun about how everyone would walk around outside without a mask, put it on to walk inside and then take it off again. Now it's the same except that everyone wears them outside

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty Additionally, all those smoking areas behind buildings. Obviously not wearing a mask there. Not a single confirmed case of covid caught there in the whole pandemic. What does that say about their effectiveness?

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty Korea recently had the fastest increase in covid numbers in the world and almost universal mask usage. What does that tell you about their effectiveness?

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty Just quietly... The restrictions never worked (anywhere in the world) and just make people's lives miserable...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty Good to see the Korean govt doubling down on severe measures that have (at best) limited effectiveness. They started smart and have been getting stupider and stupider.

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty I understand they don't want a covid positive person going drunkenly around 15 bars, so why not just have a rule where you just can't change place after 10pm, rather than shutting them down all together...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@BBCLBicker @HosuLakeLee Can you ask them how this makes any sense? Putting aside that Omicron is milder - once the variant is in, it's in. The quarantines won't stop it. This has been seen everywhere in the world... Korea included...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@koryodynasty Kinda silly though, because if you look at the numbers, the current wave started long before they relaxed the rules...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@SaschaTrippe Because everyone is betting that the price will continue to go up. Sounds familiar...

[Jeff Hodgson @j_hodgo]

@SaschaTrippe That explains why Australia decided to quarantine itself from the world
