COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

What is going on in South Korea. One of the highest vaccination rates in the world, mask usage existed there prior to covid and still very much a policy there yet they have spiked to over 600k cases a few days ago.

Sounds like omicron (or the new omicron) - vax status and cloth/paper masks don't mean much any more (in terms of case numbers).
