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.

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.

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.

It might have to do with discipline and following orders. Part of that has to do with lack of trust in authorities, which is a result of the authorities not being unified. It caused confusion and people lacked strong leadership. Bipartisan split is partly to blame, with many Americans thinking it was a hoax and not taking it seriously. Americans are too over confident because we think our country is the best and live in this bubble that is frog in a well. Culturally, we Americans love our own faces so we think we look ridiculous with a mask on. It doesn't help that the US Surgeon General told the public to not buy masks and ridiculed those who did. Dear America, it's time for us to be humble in the world's stage.

Most South Koreans have been accustomed to wearing masks when they go to the outside and some people used to wear gloves to defend themselves. So far, Koreans have been bullied by the dirtiest air pollution from China's factory areas, to be honest. So they needed masks if air status isn't good all the time. Practically, using gloves can protect people's conditions against the virus infection because most citizens may grab various things like a handgrip of a subway train, bus, escalator. Supposing that the US manufacturing facilities might have produced that enough numbers of masks and gloves, most Americans might have avoided the virus infection.

@@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.

Have you seen the size of S. Korea? Very small, but people are very effective and strong . One of the reasons that the country are so up now is they have had a lot of, a lot of trials without stopping for 5000 years. Now, they show who really they are. S. Korea is the only country that is able to deal with this pandemic. The only country on the Earth.

Maybe if the US didnt spent trillions of dollars on the military industrial complex and a little of that on public health, maybe this wouldn't be that bad. After all, this is the United States of Corporations where profits and money is priority over lives.

Bruh to answer this is simple Because SK does more tests with CPR not serology rapid test made in China. So you get it. Why did Trump buy the rapid tests from China?😅

@@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

L&L from previous MERUS failures was big and Korea can get law approval to chasing patiences where they are. PCR approval took only 3weeks. Korea has high quality masks owing to many dust from China. Free testing fee since korean medical efficiency is world no.1

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

I'm pretty sure the NSA has all the surveillance of our movements we need, but using that info for something like this would mean admitting publically that we are constantly spied on. I am guessing the South Korean government takes the advice of scientists a bit more seriously as well.

I'm Korean-American and it's so laughable to read all these ignorant postings. Korean government and society is one of most corrupt nation in the World. Do a search on how many previous Presidents are in prison for corruption. If they did such a great job than why did they have 10.000+ cases when Taiwan had 429. I'm not comparing which nation did better but try to understand every country is unique. Korea did a great job of containment but their key move was to quarantine all incoming travelers for 14 days while checking in on them. That was the key to stop new spread. USA's issue was second wave from Europe because they didn't close their borders from China in time and allowed it to spread. When American travelers returned from Europe, they brought back the virus and spread it widely. Because our laws prohibit our government from quarantining our citizens without court order, we were unable to stop the new spread. It's already been documented by scientists that most of virus detected in March came from Europe.

Not everyone is disciplined and follows the hygiene rules the government outlined. I know from first hand experience. I still saw people sneezing into the air or sneezing into their hands and not washing them immediately. I even got into a heated debate over personal hygiene and how it can effect my health with someone i thought was a friend. I see so many people still touching each other and not keeping social distance they think slapping on a mask will keep them safe. I have been in public restrooms with no soap so there goes wash your hands. Sure korea has keep numbers low but mainly because of their contact tracing not personal hygiene responsibility.
