Adjust the scales to line up the first cases reported in China and in South Korea.
All the sudden they look very similar.
I expect they will diverge when the timeline reaches the point where China started adjusting who qualified to be counted as infected.
Now if you'll excuse me, for a bit, I'm going to slide those two scales together and either come back and say "AHA! I told you so!" Or apologize...
Wait you are the same alarmist that was trying to poke fun at me for suggesting a ~2% mortality rate (that will go down as more sero testing happens) a couple of weeks ago. You were trumpeting a 20% mortality rate by diving deaths by recoveries. I told you that you number would collapse over time and guess what? I was dead on right! Your silly inflated 20% is down to 7% and falling...just like I said.

South Korea has 2337 cases, 22 recovered, 13 deaths
When China had 2757 cases they had 0 recovered, 0 deaths.
Let's give it a couple weeks to get meaningful data for a side-by-side comparison, shall we?
Unless you want to use this data point (singular) to assert it's WORSE in South Korea. You're on your own there. I ain't going to say that!
