Asia cont. steadily tutoring the rest of the world how to live alongside a pandemic.

It's easy to laugh at this. The really difficult thing is to find a way to respect the individual's efforts and respect the time they have tried to pass the national exam even in this pandemic.

taking any exam under these conditions is ridiculous and simply a political stunt demonstrating that life goes on I trust there will be a coronavirus factor built in to the results when they are surprised by this years low result standard

Koreans are awesome.

Wow. 😳

It only looks like a socialist nation.

It seems so cold of them to take exams outside. If taking the college entrance exam in china sitting at the soccer field, students may not get a well status on when answering. Lucky today, Wuhan, capital city in Hubei province, no case occurred.

Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다!

That’s how you get sick with other colds

Just step back and look at this. Truly observe. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Stupid sheep.

👍👍👍👍👍

Idiots! Propaganda!

omg. this pandemic pandemic is truly changing the way we work, live and take test. 😓 i miss life before this. i will never take that for granted again.

Imagine the crying, whining, and empty seats here. Old Covid is REALLY good at baring the ass of our social/mental dipshittery and why countries like the US are less and less productive.

We are to soft and to much of sissy to do so

Are they covered?

TheReaIMK1 isn’t this great ...

So dumb...

Insurance is life 🏀

Scenes like this will be the new norm the world over.

Americans must know that we Koreans do this with less than 10 confirmed cases. Only 10 new cases. That number could increase to 1,000,000 in 2 months theoretically. So, be cautious and wear masks.

Wow! South Korea does COVID-19 right!

So brave. So stunning. They all need medals. Now. Right now.

Looks like china

Hìi

TomVargheseJr That’s one way to do it. Perhaps the bar, USMLE step, etc? Though it still feels risky, and the ROK is better at testing and support for quarantine.

In this way how will they pass atleast some bluetooth device shd hav been provided.

A new way of life thanks to Communist China.

6NEWS Now remember the answer to the question on MA-BC: Even though the coverage is supposed to apply during the time the woman needs breastcancer treatment and the law says you can't age-discriminate, you **CAN** discriminate and exclude her and deny benefits. YES. mnhealth says so

This looks totally normal - let's get back to it. Or maybe not. Maybe just stay home for awhile longer.

Looks like a Pink Floyd album cover.
