I do agree to some extent.

South Korea has basically beaten this virus with none of the draconian measures of Italy or America.

The Diamond Princess cruise ship... basically a floating petri dish of old people...had about a 20% infection rate and few deaths.

Even if the virus was engineered and/or deliberately introduced to harm Trump’s re-election chances, it will blow up in the faces of the instigators just as every ploy has so far. One indication of the divine hand’s steering is how the left is destroying itself. Every attempt from day one through impeachment has instead turned 180 degrees around to ridicule or harm the Dems and the left. An enemy destroying itself as the Democrats have demonstrates the nature of spiritual retribution better than anything originating directly from Trump (not to ignore Trump’s refusal to acquiesce and the prayers of tens of millions of Americans past and present).

I still fear that the innocent are harmed along with the bad, but I’m somewhat heartened by the belief that a better good may come from it.

That is simply not true. They simply took action quicker and in a more intrusive way.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/italy-south-korea-differ-tackling-coronavirus-outbreak-200313062505781.html

They aggressively tested and tracked anyone who tested positive. They quarantine those who test positive and monitor them electronically to ensure they don't break quarantine. They publish their names and addresses and have an app that tells people when they are near.

"This approach comes at the cost of some privacy. South Korea's system is an intrusive mandatory measure that depends on people surrendering what, for many in Europe and the US, would be a fundamental right of privacy."

"Traditional responses such as locking down affected areas and isolating patients can be only modestly effective, and may cause problems in open societies, says South Korea's Deputy Minister for Health and Welfare Kim Gang-lip.

So they are being just as draconian, but in a different way. You have no privacy. The government has free access to every aspect of your private and electronic life. There are lockdowns when infected appear. Etc etc.
