The US is almost 100 times bigger than South Korea and we have had so far almost the same amount of deaths. There have been 75 in South Korea and 77 in the US.

The 77 of course includes the extreme skewing by Washington state which has 48 of the deaths, most of them from several rest homes.

If you focus on deaths, none of this stuff makes sense.

The issue is critical care requirements.

_That_ is what this is about..a decimation of the health care system—that can take us from a great system to a third world scenario.

I am not sure what your point is.

Is it that Korea has tested more? Is it Korea was fighting this a month before it was an issue here?

Is it that Korea uses methods we could never use, and has a population a lot more compliant than ours?

Can you explain what you mean?

Or 6.6X bigger 330M vs 51M. 6.6 is pretty close to 100, so easy mistake.
