S. Korea is very interconnected as a society. Technology does have a role but people are generally receptive of personal information being collected and used. For example, in order to hand out the proper number of masks, they have APIs which allows a database to inventory pharmacy mask handouts. In the face of a crisis, are Koreans forfeiting their privacy or are they trying to curb a bad situation? Americans would definitely not tolerate any info sharing and now there are strict laws against information collection.

Meanwhile, I have friends who are giving the middle finger to caution and are heading off on their flights for spring break - all for the privilege of being carriers.
