[사회]Another fight after cure…”Vague fear turned into prejudice”

[앵커]

Infection is not only an individual’s fault, but the perception surrounding corona19 confirmed patients has not changed easily.

Even after being diagnosed with cure, there are many cases where you have to fight another suffering because of the gaze and prejudice around you.

This is Park Hee-jae.

“A day before the first exam for the secondary school teacher appointment examination, a corona19 group infection occurred in Noryangjin famous academy for appointment examination.”

“The Ministry of Education decided to proceed as scheduled without canceling the test, but it said that the confirmed person could not take the test.”

Park Hye-ji, who has been preparing for the secondary school appointment exam for five years.

I was deprived of my chance to take the exam as I was confirmed just before the exam.

Park is currently suffering from depression and insomnia.

[박혜지(가명) / 임용고시 준비생 : 이거 되게 심각한 이야기인데 (유의사항) 한 줄로 응시를 불가하게 만든다고? 잠을 전혀 못 자요. 현재 항우울제나 수면제 없이는 생활을 이어갈 수 없을 정도로 많이 힘든 상태고요.]

Although I was very hurt, I took action to get my dream back.

They filed a lawsuit for damages against the government.

In addition, they are preparing a constitutional petition saying that they will be admitted that their freedom of choice has been violated.

[박혜지(가명) / 임용고시 준비생 : 새로운 전염병이 계속 나올 텐데 이런 일 있을 때마다 “넌 확진자라서, 전염병에 걸렸기 때문에 응시할 수 없어” 이 일들이 내년에도 반복되지 않을 거라는 보장이 없잖아요. 상처받는 사람이 더 생기지 않았으면 해서 행동에 나섰고….]

Half a year ago, Kim Ji-ho was confirmed while giving thanks to the condolences who visited her maternal grandmother’s funeral.

Even though I was diagnosed with a cure, the company held me to work for quarantine reasons.

I was even asked to post an apology on the company’s bulletin board.

Mr. Kim eventually left the company.

[김지호 / 작가 : 나는 왜 결백을 주장해야 하지? 어디 가서 논 것도 아니었고, 가지 말란 곳 간 것도 아니었는데 나는 죄가 없지만 결백하다고 이야기를 해야 할 수밖에 없는 상황들에 놓이게 되었죠.]

Mr. Kim decided to leave a book about his experiences, from confirmation to cure.

This is because they thought that the prejudice against the confirmed cases stemmed from vague fear of Corona 19.

[김지호 / 작가 : 오히려 무지함에서 나오는 차별이 제일 무섭다고 생각하거든요. 내가 이 글을 계속 써 내려가면 누군가는 이런 혐오의 시선과 차별의 행동들을 충분히 걷어낼 수 있겠구나….]

After finding a cure, Lee Jeong-hwan, a job-prepared student, visited the hospital five times to donate plasma.

One time to help an elderly woman who is critically ill from Corona 19, and the other to contribute to the development of plasma treatments.

[이정환 / 취업준비생 : 할머니한테 맞는 혈액형과 완치자의 혈장이 필요했는데, 기존에 고대 안산병원에서 혈장 공여했던 경험이 있어서….]

When asked if he was too overwhelmed to think about others in the midst of a cold job, Lee replied, “I wanted to reward the society that healed me.

[이정환 / 취업준비생 : 일단 국민 세금이나 나랏돈으로 별 무리 없이 잘 완치를 하고 사회를 나왔는데 제가 도움받은 게 있으니까 사회에 되돌려줘야겠다고 생각이 들었습니다.]

Up to now, there have been 80,000 confirmed cases of Corona 19.

I struggled with the sick horse, but there was another fight I hadn’t even thought of after healed.
