When I heard MERS infection erupted in Korean first time, thinking it is as serious as SARS and I feel afraid of it. But the Korean government handled this event badly, and people around the world are disappointed to this thing. Because of their government's pessimistic attitude, some countries around the world are angry with it. But I think the Korean government will be better after this big event.
回覆刪除What we can do is to command the government. They didnt do the first step in order to prevent the virus from spreading . If they saw the event as an emergency, there wouldn't be so many deaths and making people being scared. This event gave Korean Government an important lesson and a tremendous breakdown in tourism.
