Is "cardiac arrest" in Korea code for "dead", the way it is in Japan? There people can only legally be declared dead at hospitals, so people are reported to be "in cardiac arrest" even if they've been (say) decapitated.
There’s something to be said for the media alerting everyone in their localities of potential Halloween threats. Every time the media alert us of some new threat (e.g rainbow fentanyl) and it’s a false alarm, people ultimately experience a sort of cry-wolf effect and this results in kids experiencing the negative consequences.<p>The media ultimately aren’t incentivized properly to reserve these reports to account for these transitive impacts, and as long as we’re consuming these channels for free they end up cashing in on our fears and showing us these reports to make a quick buck.<p>Spooky in its own way I guess.

From the guidelines<p>> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
