  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 15 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 15 hours ago

“The average fatality rate of COVID-19 patients was previously 0.98 percent, but in line with the vaccine rollout, the figure fell to 0.18 percent last month, similar to that of the seasonal flu. We might look for possible ways to control the coronavirus similar to the flu. The government should stop counting the number of daily new infections, as this figure should not be the threshold for determining the level of the social distancing measures. Instead, quarantine resources should be poured into strengthening Korea's medical capacity for treating critically ill COVID-19 patients.”
