Lol what? I live in S Korea and there's a million avenues for reporting covid. My local city hall has a direct line specifically for reporting personal cases if you tested at home.

Ontario, canada. We have a trump-light premier of our province, doug ford. You might have heard of his brother, rob ford, the crack smoking mayor of toronto who died a few years ago, Rob Ford.

I was just in Korea for a few weeks, I hate how emergency mobile alert broadcasts were abused daily or every few hours just to tell people how many local cases there were.

And now you’re reading headlines about a surge in cases. Almost as if they saw an emergency coming.

How dare they use an emergency system to portray a coming emergency. Shame on them.

A surge in cases is no longer an emergency as in 2020. Is using an emergency system to basically broadcast regular news, causing some to turn off the alerts entirely, in a locality where storms and tsunamis matter, not counter to the point of having an emergency system? The broadcasts weren't even large numbers, more like "there were 8 cases in your neighbourhood yesterday" and "here is your nearest vaccination center", as 2 separate alerts.
