South Korea's Step Successfully Suppress the Corona Pandemic



The WHO praised the way South Korea handled the corona virus, both in curbing its spread and in treating infected patients. The cure ratio reached 48%, while the death rate was only 1.5% on March 27.



Starting with one patient in early February, the number of Covid-19 cases in South Korea (South Korea) jumped dramatically. From an average of two cases per day, there were additional new cases of up to 900 people at the end of February. This is due to a 61-year-old woman who was later identified as Patient 31. The woman had previously experienced symptoms in early February, and was advised to rest and take a test.



But he still attended two services, which were joined by thousands of worshipers at Shincheonji Church, Daegu, on February 9 and 16. He himself did the test on February 17 and was declared as Patient 31 the following day. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) estimates there are 9,200 people who took part in the two prayers. Around 1,200 of them claimed to have flu-like symptoms. No doubt from Patient 31 then formed a new cluster of corona cases, as well as the largest and appear berentet since February 20. Of the 9,137 positive confirmed cases on March 25, about 56 percent (5,080 cases) were connected with Patient 31.



Without waiting for time, the government of President Moon Jae-in immediately set the city to the southeast of Daegu as a "special disaster area". This policy is then followed by a series of steps to overcome the spread of the virus that attacks the respiratory tract. Bright spots appear. KCDC noted the increase in cases in the first week of March 2020 fell to the range of 500-600 cases per day. Then down again to the range of 100-200 cases per day the following week.



On March 23, 2020, there were only 64 new cases, at once the lowest since the corona virus was plagued in the country. The strategy adopted by the South Korean government is different from the isolation or lockdown policies adopted by a number of countries, such as China in Wuhan, Italy and Spain. South Korea has instead taken steps that involve full community participation. The next step is suggested to be applied to a number of countries whose cases are increasing sharply.



One of the keys to South Korea's success in suppressing additional cases is conducting a free and mass inspection. That way, positive patients with Covid-19 can be detected more quickly and get treatment, thereby preventing transmission to many people. In addition to clinics and hospitals, the government provides drive-thru inspection stations in various cities. Health workers only need 10 minutes to measure body temperature and swab the nose and throat of everyone who comes. The examination results are reported one day after via SMS.



Within a day, South Korea can examine around 15 thousand people. As of March 24, 2020, 348,600 people have been examined. With a population of around 51.3 million people, there are about 6.8 thousand people who are tested for specimens per 1 million population.
Although the mass inspection has succeeded in reducing the curve of the corona virus in South Korea, the government is still on alert in case of a second wave of large cases. The reason, there are new cases that are interconnected or form the spread of community. Especially those that appear in churches, hospitals, offices, and sports centers.



Therefore, South Korean Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun stipulates the implementation of social distancing for 15 days until April 3, 2020. This means that activities outside the home are limited, except for grocery shopping or visiting a doctor. If you go outside, you must maintain a distance of at least two meters from others. Chung said, as reported by The Korea Herald, this step must be carried out by all residents.
The aim is to reduce the spread and the number of corona virus patients below the capacity of health facilities. Previously, the government only appealed to the public to be aware of implementing social distancing. However, this step began to be forgotten, especially by the younger age group, when the trend in the Covid-19 case began to decline. As a result the government also applies coercion by imposing fines and criminal threats for those who violate social distancing policies.



Effective communication is carried out by authorities in South Korea by providing information quickly and openly to the population. KCDC released a report on the development of the corona virus about the number of cases and interrelationships between patients twice a day.



The government also sends messages to everyone's cell phone regarding areas that have been infected. Thus, residents who are forced to leave the house can avoid areas deemed dangerous.
Then if residents feel they have made contact or are close to the patient, they can immediately check themselves.

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Gambar
Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po...

Jjukkumi, one of South Korea's signature dishes that you must try

Gambar
  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu. Jukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum is made from two basic ingredients, namely jukkumi and samgyeopsal. Jukkumi or octopus ocellatus is a type of octopus that is small and has a softer texture than ordinary octopus. Samgyeopsal,...
