Wonder why businesses aren’t allowed to temperature check employees here? Got a temp, you go home..That’s what Assisted Living places are doing with their employees. (MILs Asst Living place is testing one person for Covid right now.)

They also have a culture of strict compliance and almost absolute NO questioning of authority, even to teh point of death. See lesson learned from Korean Air crashes.

I read the article. I am sure there are lessons to learn, and a person interviewed laments "I wish everyone could learn from us" which is fine.

By the way, this isn't directed at you personally. I just get frustrated hearing that we did everything wrong and they did everything right. It is like comparing Sweden's economy to the USA economy.

So, things are a little bit different here.

1. A largely homogeneous population in S. Korea vs the most diverse country on earth in the USA.
   
   
2. A population of 50 million citizens in S. Korea vs 330 million citizens in the USA.
   
   
3. A land mass of 38K square miles in S. Korea vs 3.7 million square miles in the USA.
   
   
4. No open land borders in S. Korea vs 7,000 miles of borders (mostly unguarded) in the USA.
   
   
5. Two international airports in S. Korea vs 150 international airports as possible entry points in the USA.
   
   
6. Let's not forget a hostile media in the USA fighting the government at every single turn, more interested in toppling a President than protecting its citizens. No, more interested in whipping up panic to destroy an economy to topple a President than protecting its citizens.

So yes. I think there are things we can learn from South Korea. But the conditions here are drastically and dramatically different.

South Korea didn’t panic - but it also didn’t go into denial.

That doesn’t suit the totalitarian left.
