The Sankei Shimbun report on a forty-person cluster infection in South Korea clearly proves that preventing the spread of the Wuhan virus has nothing to do with the absolutist belief in PCR testing. The cluster at clubs in Seoul showed that the essence of infection control is not the number of tests conducted, but preventing opportunities for infection in the first place.

The article in today’s Sankei Shimbun, titled “South Korea: Forty-Person Cluster Infection,” clearly proves that preventing the spread of the Wuhan virus has nothing whatsoever to do with PCR testing.
All those who control the news departments of television media, beginning with NHK, as well as the announcers, must recognize their own ignorance and shame, resign, and apologize to the nation and its people.
At the same time, this article also proves the correctness of my argument that the increase in the number of infected persons in Japan, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, after a certain period had passed from March 22, was the result of the K-1 event that was forcibly held at Saitama Super Arena, gathering as many as 6,000 spectators, by organizers connected with the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, ignoring requests for cancellation from the national government and the prefecture on that very day.
To begin with, at a time when sports events around the world had all been cancelled, the abnormality of holding a commercial event that gathered as many as 6,000 spectators should astonish every country in the world.
The world must know the abnormality of the Japanese media, which raised not a single voice of criticism against this matter.
It must know that this is the result of the abnormality of the Constitution imposed by GHQ in order to weaken Japan permanently, and of the policies of that time.
It must also know that China and South Korea, until only yesterday, continued to exploit that abnormality to the utmost, that with numerous fabrications they continued to degrade Japan in the international community, and that as a result they extracted enormous amounts of Japanese taxpayers’ money from Japan.
Investigation of 1,500 Club Customers and Others
[Seoul — Takahiro Namura]
In South Korea, where infections with the novel coronavirus had been moving toward calm, it was learned that a man in his twenties had visited clubs and other places in Seoul before his infection was confirmed, and on the 9th, South Korean authorities revealed that a cluster infection of 40 people in total, including the man himself and club employees, had occurred.
From the night of the 1st to the early hours of the 2nd, the man visited clubs and restaurants in Seoul’s entertainment district, and on the 6th, his infection was confirmed in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, a suburb south of Seoul, where his home is located.
The South Korean government had announced on the 8th that 15 people had been infected in the cluster, but Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon revealed at an emergency press conference on the 9th that the number of customers and others confirmed to have been infected after entering and leaving the clubs had risen to 40.
Mayor Park announced an order suspending business at clubs and other entertainment facilities, warning that “violators will be subject to severe punishment.”
From the night of the 8th, the South Korean government issued an administrative order recommending that entertainment facilities nationwide refrain from operating for one month, but the measure taken by the city of Seoul is stronger than that.
The man did not wear a mask inside the establishments, and it appears that infections spread from him and that secondary infections have also occurred.
On the 1st and 2nd, there were a total of 1,510 customers and employees in the establishments, and the authorities are tracking down and testing the customers and others, but there are said to be many cases in which they cannot be reached.
For this reason, there is a risk that the number of infected persons will increase further.
In South Korea, there had been consecutive days on which the only infected persons were those entering from overseas, and the South Korean government had only just eased infection prevention measures on the 6th.
The clubs had been operating before this easing.
Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters on the 9th, “Whether we can prevent this local infection from spreading any further and stop it here will determine the success or failure of future epidemic prevention.”
