    Worth noting that South Korea also has a less disrupted economy. All it took was a coordinated country-wide response and appropriate investment Depressinghttps://twitter.com/zorinaq/status/1296995601339412480 …

    If the United States had been successful like South Korea and this has resulted in the same covid deaths per capita, they would have 2,000 deaths instead of 175,000. 173,000 lives would have been saved. Think about that for a minute.

        Even more depressing is how many Americans are ignorant of it or who believe their "freedoms" make such a toll totally worthwhile

        The current excuse is that US is too unique; size, diversity, etc. etc. Basically American exceptionalism as an excuse. Same as gun control, healthcare, education, wealth disparity, etc. Go-to excuse of those defending status quo. Sad state of affairs.

        Stick to the script. Too late for your lot to make a pivot to - oh lockdown was correct, we just did it wrong. It is, and was wrong all along

        Yes. However the US via voting with their feet has chosen to “push” through with 70-80% mask compliance and basic social distancing. It’s cultural. Difficult to understand but true.

        It's no accident they took lessons of the SARS & MERS epidemics seriously & were well prepared. Going back further, I'm reading the history of the Chickenpox/Measles plague in Korea at the turn of the 16th Century. King Seonjo enacted a number of sensible public health reforms.
