The most informative, clear, concise, no-nonsense, no P-C crap, 37 minutes (well worth it) on C****-** by a brilliant infectious disease South Korean specialist and professor, Dr. Kim Woo-Ju.

South Koreans have dealt with different c****av***s in the past such as SARS and MERS. This time around, they are more prepared to deal with new strain of c****av***s, the SARS-CoV-2, the one that is causing the current worldwide p******c, C****-**.

This a must-watch for everyone.

Watching Nextflix movies, series, etc. getting boring and monotonous during the social distancing period? This will be a great alternative. Approximately 37 minutes with subtitle.

Take care. Stay Home. Stay Safe.

Very good interview on something so bad.

It's unfortunate that the Admin decided to relegate this post to the Attic. I am surprised by that move because the information provided by the doctor who was interviewed is based on factual evidence and knowledge accumulated from past experiences treating other v***l diseases such as SARS, MERS, EBOLA.

The title, "We can learn from South Korea" on how to fight our own battle with c****av***s is not a misinformation. For example, if the Admin watched the video, he would have noticed that the intro shows South Koreans wearing face masks in public, which is strongly recommended by the government to reduce spread of the v***s.

This makes sense because evidence suggests C****-** could be t***smitted before symptom onset, community t***smission might be reduced if everyone, including people who have been infected but are asymptomatic and contagious, wear face masks.

In short, an unknown number of (C****-**) infected but asymptomatic people are walking around in public spreading the v***s not realizing they're doing it. Ergo, based on the above-mentioned evidence, wearing a mask will significantly reduce the spread of the v***s. This, along with social distancing and observing hygiene, will help us achieve our goal of "flattening the curve."

The US CDC doesn't recommend Americans to wear face masks in public during the current c****av***s outbreak, a recommendation criticized by the South Korean expert in the video. But wait, the CDC may be changing this recommendation and allow the American public to wear face masks in public. If approved, this would be a step in right direction and an example that the US CDC is learning from the now-common practice in South Korea in fighting c****av***s. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/cdc-considering-recommending-general-public-wear-face-coverings-in-public/2020/03/30/6a3e495c-7280-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html

And oh, did I mention South Korea dropped from number 2 spot in the number of cases worldwide to now no. 12 in about a month?

Sad to see this piece of very informative video sent to the Attic.

Just my 2 cents.

It's the Admin's own personal website, not yours, it's his to do with anything he wants in regards to any posts or information presented on it.

He also gives you the great freedom of choice, choice to not come back to this site if you don't like his policies or decisions.

I think Sunnely's disappointment probably extends to a larger general group not being exposed to this interview by it being posted in the Attic rather than for general consumption - baring in mind a great deal (not all) those who visit the Attic are extremely unwavering in their views and quite hostile at times and not those most likely to benefit.

No, Sunnely's disappointment completely revolves around the fact that he want's to place something on a specific spot of the Admin's property, and the Admin wants it located somewhere else on his property. Sunnely should be satisfied that the Admin has allowed it to stay on his property, albeit where he wants it placed. If Sunnely demands more control of where his posts end up, he has the complete freedom to create his own property to post on.

My sentiments exactly.

My message is plain and simple i.e., just expressing my disappointment with the Admin's move to vanquish the post to the Attic. Not questioning or demanding an explanation from the powers-that-be for such move. I completely understand that I am merely a visitor here. Their house, their rules. But, last time I check we still live in a free country and expressing one's opinion still valued.

An opportunity for a number of people to learn about a major crisis facing the nation, missed. That is sad. That's all.

Another opinion: Watch for an important future announcement from US CDC, a change in their recommended guideline - recommending use of DIY face mask (following CDC specifications) for the people out in public, something that is already widely practiced in South Korea. Reason - those "healthy" but infected and asymptomatic people can spread the v***s without knowing it and use of face mask can reduce the spread.

"There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action." ---Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I give the others the last word.

New estimates show 25% to 50% of c****av***s carriers don't even have symptoms and can infect others blindly

WOW!!! To make matters worse, c****av***s is highly contagious. With an Ro (R-naught) estimated at about 3.5, no wonder it didn't take long for US to reach #1 in number of cases of c****av***s infection. "Ro" is the average number of people 1 infected person can spread the v***s in an unv******ted population. If unmitigated, the number of cases would rise exponentially.

South Korea (and other Asian countries) knew it quite sometime ago and mandated its citizens to wear masks in public. Another opportunity to learn something to get ahead of the curve missed, leading to potentially disastrous results.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/01/health/us-c****av***s-updates-wednesday/index.html

In my opinion, soon, US CDC will change its recommendation from DON'T wear mask in public to YES, you can using DIY masks (with CDC specifications). With such strong evidence, CDC has no choice.

Just my 2 cents.
