I get that regular email-newsletter from the International Clinic in Itaewon...

In todays newsletter - the "good doctor" is stating that there have been

1000 SWINE Flue cases Confirmed in Korea

Now - we all know about 10~15 foreigners were quarantined...

so does that mean the OTHER 985~990 people were Korean?

How come the media didn't talk about this..

The media just said - it was ONLY the "dirty" foreigners...

It's more than that. Many of us know people who've been told by their "schools" to not report the Swine Flu they have, or their students have, to any authorities, right, OP? Rolling Eyes

Thats right, SP.

So maybe the figures exceed 3000+ ?? (basing that on ONLY 1 in 3 cases were reported and confirmed)..


However, we only hear about it on the media - when it is a "foreigner"...

thats the point I am getting at...

Koreans are being brainwashed that "all foreigners are dirty" and "only foreigners have diseases"... meanwhile they sweep "their own" cases under the rug...
