'Adults without a history of COVID-19 infection have no friends,' said Ma Sang-hyuk, vice president of the Vaccine Association, on his Facebook account. He said that he made this statement with the intention of 'comparing'how difficult it is to avoid the virus'' to the domestic situation hit by the record epidemic of COVID-19, but it is 'figurative. There was a misunderstanding, 'and I deleted the post a few days later.

In South Korea, the number of infected people began to increase from February 2022 due to the epidemic of Omicron strains, and in March, 200,000 new infected people were recorded every day. Mr. Ma made a statement on March 16th, when the number of new cases exceeded 400,000, but the epidemic did not subside and the cumulative number of infected people increased on March 25th. More than 1080 million people, that is, 'about 20% of the people have been infected with COVID-19'.

In the midst of the tragedy that is said to have caused enough casualties to delay incineration at the crematorium, Ma argued that the medical system should be reorganized so that positive testers can receive prompt treatment. This remark is also in line with the claim that 'the focus should be on treatment, not on securing social distance.'

On the other hand, The Korean Herald, an English daily newspaper in Seoul, South Korea, stated in the '2021 National Quality of Life Report' released by the Korea Statistical Office on March 15, before the COVID-19 epidemic. Mr. Ma's 'no friends' statement and the aggravation of social isolation, noting that the degree of social isolation increased by 6.4 points from 27.7% in 2019 to a record high of 34.1%.
