Anyway, what really made all people laugh about was the announcement made by South Korean government.
Korean government introduced MERS prevention guideline.
In which they say "Don't eat a camel meat. Don't drink a camel milk".
Hahaha
MERS is a disease originally from Middle East. It is said that camels are the cause of the disease.
However, the total number of camels in Korea is 46. One of them was imported from Australia, not from Middle East. And all the rest of camels were born in Korea. They are all for an observation purpose at a zoo. There is no custom to eat a camel meat or drink camel milk in Korea. In addition to that, there is even a law in Korea that prohibits importing camel meats and dairy products. So it is virtually impossible to buy a camel meat or milk in Korea. Hahahaha
This announcement seemed to have made even Korean people laugh. They're lamenting "Why our government is so incompetent!" Hahaha
