Social distancing, face masks, draconian harsh lockdown measures, NYC has them all since March.
We are taking about a staggering difference between TWO and close to 15,000.
And what is the compliance rate with those measures?
The compliance issue makes a huge difference. South Koreans are ready to implement whatever social distancing/disease control guidelines the government issues. New York is full of entitled liberals who won’t comply with anything unless it is back by a lot of muscle.
I have not been following the situation in New York. I have only been following the worldwide situation, since that is more informative about whether Covid-19 is eradicated or not.
