2015-06-04 Mers in South Korea: KC Mini-Me is safe

2020 update: So many were trying to compare the US and South Korean reactions to COVID-19. My response: It is ridiculous to compare them. South Korea has had a number of viruses come through, pollution from China. Back in 2015, when MERS came through, many Koreans were reaching for their masks. Masks were so prevalent even 5 years ago that I used them as a gag, putting one on a birthday gift. From what I have heard, there are still debates in the USA about the effectiveness of masks.

2015 comments: South Korea is in a frenzy now because of the Mers virus...

I don't know how seriously to take it, I seem to remember similar scares--Swine flu, mad cow disease, bird flu, SARS, Ebola, foot-and-mouth disease, West Nile virus... now Mers...

Just in case, I bought a mask...

Casey Lartigue awarded "Social Contribution" Award (Hansarang)

On April 20, 2017, I was awarded the "Social Contribution" award by the Hansarang Foundation. When I was first nominated, my response was: "Hahahaha! I won't win, but it is a great honor to be nominated." It was until I was a finalist that I took it seriously. Then instead of saying "I am honored to be nominated," I wanted to WIN ! Which I did! I was awarded a plaque, 10 million won (about $9,000), and many congratulations from many people (including other awardees that night).

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .
