Masks vs. IF I get Corona I get Corona...Spring Break here we go!

So true! Me greed vs. we community.

I'm Korean-American and this video is pure propaganda. USA got hit with second wave from Europe in middle of March. As of March 7th, Korea had 7134 cases and USA had 279 cases. Look at the charts for yourself and timeline is very different. You'll see that spike in USA is about 10 days behind Europe's spike. Initial outbreaks in USA from Chinese travelers were contained and isolated in February. Scientists have mapped the virus movement from China to Europe and to USA and rest of the world. Korea did a great job of containment but what really helped them was their quarantine policy for any travelers entering the country. I believe they checked all incoming travelers and implemented mandatory 14 day quarantine. We didn't do that in USA because our laws prohibit our government from quarantining citizens without court order. I see all these remarks about Koreans being smarter and having better leaders. If that's the case, then Taiwan must be much smarter than Koreans because they only had 429 cases.

Chaz Lee and now?

it's about money.

True

President Moon Jae-in > President Trump

lol if you think Koreans are disciplined I would beg to differ, go walk the streets of Hongdae or any tourist areas in Asia and see what the korean tourists do there.

As a S.Korean, I am flattered indeed. Yet my very conscience urges me to be as open and frank as possible in telling the world things happening as they are: S. Korea is one big pseudo army boot camp as far as the vast majority of its inhabitants are concerned. (Just imagine a multitude of "Jaffa" in SG-1 perhaps) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcihp6lqlq-pYZ8.html In most of the time, people here literally obey, never question what the authority demands. Such property can serve as a huge advantage in extreme situations like current outbreak or WW3. Downside is that one's civil rights can easily be compromised to a degree that an ordinary western world folk simply would not bear nor tolerate. Furthermore, S.Korea's current success in current struggle against COVID-19 outbreak has nothing or very little to do with the gov. for sure. The true heroes are medical professionals working murderously long and tiring hours everyday and risking their lives in the front line while bloody President Moon and its leftist officials trying to steal the fame and glory in every imaginable way possible via state of the art propaganda that 21st century has to offer. Sigh

Bugs Bunnysupdoc lol so u are blaming the minorities for the high death rate?

USA is a shit hole

@@Mheim1911 Very profound, the USA is a third world country lacking behind the rest of the first world. Sorry, snowflake

@@Mheim1911 Wow, Matt. What a profound intellectual response.

TESTJNG DOESNT DO SHIT. It is NOT PREVENTATIVE. People need to self isolate more than anything. Prevent being a silent carrier and infecting others. Everyone’s perspective of this needs to be changed. Treat yourself as if YOU are already infected by the virus and are not trying to give it to OTHERS.

unlike in the US where our president Don the Con keeps on lying and not taking responsiblities

Bugs Bunnysupdoc 😂😂😂😂😂 what planet are you on.

Lol just gonna keep blaming the president for everything

Bugs Bunnysupdoc wtf you freak

‘Accountable’ is an understatement.

Plus they have the best quality and most accurate coronavirus test kits that every country is begging and lining up to get now (because no other country makes them in enough quantity other than the Chinese who make inaccurate test kits). Only the countries that have been friendly to South Korea will get those test kits, and luckily for the US, they're one of the countries on South Korea's list of good countries.

don't you mean they only had few corp overlord... it just mean the real inflection had not very hit them.... Japan start to go up and wuhan are not out....

@@jillthompson6110 Yet when governor of Maryland secured 500,000 tests from Korea with the help of his Korean wife why did Trump berate him? All this after he told states they need to do testing on their own and get PPE on their own since federal government is not a shipping clerk. LoL

@Civilized yes it's stupid because they said if he pulled all those troops out of Korea, it would cost more to house and pay all those soldiers in America... not to mention Korea provides land and housing for free to the American military. And Trump would be the only leader to praise Kim Jong Un and berate Korea. Boggles the mind when everyone knows there are sanctions against Kim Jong Un and N. Korea for major violations of human rights

Dude US has most of the best companies in the world, and clearly that has nothing to do with handling the pandemic. This is the dumbest argument I've seen today so far.

Our government is certainly not the best, but the people are.

Imagine being able to vote for your government..oh wait

유준용 Agreed! America has a lot to learn.

Nyijay Tash triggered?

Andrew P Pretty much, and they eat better, genetics, etc

@Thành Hoàng Ngọc Are you American? I'm curious for those young People who died from Covid 19.Is there any under lying unhealthy habit like smoking or obesity? It's weird when I see even young teenager died from it. In my country most of the victim happens to be Old. Our youngest is 27 years old

@Umbuko DaJuko No, I just find this out

@Umbuko DaJuko Because most of the the victims in my country are Old. And present chronic illness

Good comment..lot of smart people in South Korea

Siam Hossain Very encouraging story, thank you 🙏 for that, wish her well

Does she have any under lying illness?

No not really she is 50 years old common problems with age little bit arthritis.

@@siamhossain1479 Arthritis at only age 50 sounds like she has some underlying issues with her health.

US also manufactures.

rate (typo) Also, a 3, that’s crazy! Some Americans are repeating “both sides are the problem”, just like Trump said there are good people on both sides and blame on many sides after the Charlottesville protests. The CARE bill gives 300B to Americans struggling, 500B to Wall Street, and the rest to unemployment and services, but that 500B on paper becomes 10x more through devious machinations and is equivalent to 4T from the government to them. Leaders are working against the people.

It is available in most other first world countries except USA. You guys are getting ripped off in America. You guys pay more per capita than every other country yet your Healthcare system is subpar.

Idiot! The Western European countries with universal healthcare are the countries with the highest death rates per capita. This is no coincidence. There are three major reasons. 1. Chronic undersupply 2. No plans to deal with crisis's. (In a free market, they prepare for situations like this, and private companies are quick to jump in and provide things like test kits since they can make huge amounts of money). In USA, non-approved test kits were banned initially. But Trump did what he could to reverse it. That's why it took a few weeks for USA's massive testing to start. Because it was delayed, because the government didn't allow the free market to operate, the virus spread too much. 3. Politicians in countries with universal healthcare knows about the limitations. For example they know that they don't have the resources to conduct large scale testing, so they don't make the right decisions. Rather they make the best decision that can be implemented by the healthcare system.

@@pite9 you realize S. Korea has universal healthcare too.

Lol I am a korean and let me tell u, Trump is the best thing US could ever have. And if you carefully look at Korea, we are really right winged! With really low tax and everything

@@Kawhisexual There is a difference between right wing and Trump. Describing Trump as a right wing is an insult to right winger. It's just a shame that the main right wing party in US, the Republicans, has yet to see this themselves.

@@yvrelna fair enough, but by right wing, I meant general emphasis on low tax and domestic production (brining jobs back to home country) In that sense S. korea is very similar to right wing/Trump ideology

@@Kawhisexual 나는 한국인이 아니지만 당신을 만들려고 노력하고 있습니다

@@Kawhisexual I need your response unless your lying

Hell yeah!!! We gotta build them bombs to show those damn virus who's boss!

Right?!?! ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS

WashYourHands we don’t have to go to the military 👨‍✈️😷

But he is holding press conference daily to tell reporters how many views his press briefing is getting. More than football games!

Agree.

Korea will save itself, an imaginary being is not needed.

@Elizabeth Jones kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMpogMyTvdy5kYk.html

Australia is also sparsely populated. This makes it easier to contain the virus. South Korea is very dense, which makes it a challenge to contain it

And the only person supports that just quited smh

Yes Koreans are shocked to find out US government was saying for 2 months that we don't need masks only for health care workers and now we need to make our own out of cloth wth? Korea has factories making 10 million N95 near equivalent masks per day. They can buy 2 per week for $1 each. You know cloth has holes where 0.3 micron particles will definitely penetrate. KF94 filters out 94% N95 filters 95%... surgical masks filters 60-80%, cloth masks less than 20%. There is a reason why nurses in L.A. protested having to work with surgical masks instead of N95 masks in Covid ward. We better hope nobody we walk near has Covid-19 with just a cloth mask.

Yes... cost a lot! Stimulus $2.3 Trillion plus 22 Million seeking unemployment and state governments asking for funding with 40 000+ deaths while Korea spent $10 Billion and less than 250 deaths. And remember in the beginning Korea had it the worst outside of China. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure. SAME Proverb exists in America and Korea yet Korea took it more seriously.

Yes Testing is vital but so is Tracing. What's the point of testing if you fail to figure out all the other ppl that person could've potentially infected or find out where the source was from? The key to Korea flattening the curve was extensive testing and tracing. And early social distancing not mandated but encouraged and heeded by the public for their own collective safety and wearing masks and availability of N95 masks for $1.

Koreans asked.. *"Why didn't you get it, saving lives?"* The results of Today make by this Asking... Ja.... And you? Perhaps.. Hummmmm.. Ask to the government, *"Why didn't you get it like Korea?"* NO ASK, NO ANSWER. NO ASK, NO OPEN THE DOOR 🚪.. KNOCK! KNOCK! THAN.. IT'S OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOLUTIONS. i bless you, seriously.

Perhaps you're right but the u.s. definitely didn't handle it as well as they could have.

korea is more densely populated though, that’s why it’s comparable and with the ressources the us have, even if it wasn’t comparable they would’ve been able to handle the crisis by using the same methods on a larger scale

You act like we have to test the entire country immediately. Had we started tracing and tracking the infected immediately, we could have concentrated testing in certain cities and locations. But, no. We decided to wait until the infection spread almost everywhere until we started testing.

Jacque Fresco is your role model, right?

@Wash Your Hands The truth is the truth. Taiwan is not only the most successful in handling the pandemic but has placed the most robust monitoring in place to stay alert.

Your mortality rates are off. The US currently has a mortality rate of 3.4% and South Korea has a rate of 1.9. That may seem like a small difference, but it's significant.

@@XanRex My rates aren't off by much and the rates are constantly changing. So 3.4 may be 3.5 or higher next week. It may be significant, but not as significant as comparing South Korea to nearly any other country. Countries that are faring better than the US are few and fewer are the ones that have the populations and sizes that are as difficult to manage. So what really is the point of the comparison here? We could just as easily make a video titled "Why Taiwan's Death Rate is Lower than South Korea" and you could say that the difference may seem small but it is significant.

Jo Anne So what is your point?

Then he berated governor of Maryland for buying 500,000 tests from Korea with the help of his Korean wife for the state of Maryland.

@@ID_iKONIC_VIP and isn't known well that type of covid19 in US is different with covid19 in SK? Or people are just ignorant enough to figure the fact that covid19 have 4 types. US covid19 is similar with AU's. SK covid19 is same as europe and hong kong's covid19

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure. English and Korean proverb. America already spent $2.3 TRILLION for stimulus with 40,000+ deaths while Korea spent $10 Billion and less than 250 deaths

they starve to death before they can catch a flu.

trump close NSA pandemic offices in 2018.
