NOTES

• Teachers being dropped from vaccination lists? https://www.facebook.com/groups/537368577187946/permalink/892373761687424/

KDCA on some foreigners not being able to reserve vaccine: “Foreigners who have an ARC (Alien Registration Card) can reserve vaccine same as Korean nationals. But names are processed as initially registered for ARC” In other words, take out the spaces & look closely at card.

• “There was no need to worry too much about the Delta variant as its infection rate was very low at the time.” 
• ‘Vaccine hopes shattered’: First day of sign-up ends in disappointment for many Koreans
• “There’s a pattern to be noticed here — our leaders keep denying and refuse to acknowledge the signals until it is too late.”
• Hard-hit small-business owners take to the streets over COVID rules
• How a 26-year-old expat in Seoul, South Korea lives on $24,000 a year | What’s not said: Salaries were the same 15 years ago despite inflation. And if she stayed until she was 36 years old–same salary. No raise. No promotion. No growth.
