South Korea Warns of Another Covid-19 Outbreak Tied to a Church – The New York Times – (politicized “religion” poisons society with Covid-19)
“They poured the virus on our church,” he said during the rally, without specifying who he was referring to.
Health officials said his accusation was not worth commenting on. Mr. Jun is known for giving rousing speeches filled with provocative and unsubstantiated claims.
Mr. Jun said he had urged his congregants not to join the rally on Saturday and to stay home. But the local news media reported that members of his church were among thousands of antigovernment protesters on Saturday, some of them not wearing masks.
Mr. Moon on Sunday called their participation in the rally an “unpardonable act.”
“Many of those who needed to be in self-isolation turned out in street protests, raising the serious possibility that they have spread the virus to protesters who came from around the country,” Mr. Moon said on his Facebook page. “This is a clear challenge against the disease-prevention system of the state and an unpardonable act against the safety of the people.”

He’s vetoed, made many, many statements about the post office and how incapable he believes it is, as he has rejected new funding for the post office and threatened to veto more COVID relief that includes rescue funds for the post office,” Stoddard said. “He’s made it very clear what he thinks of the post office.”
