South Korea started developing tests for the virus early in the year and had the capability of testing on a wide scale when the virus broke out there. This combined with aggressive tracking and management is what gave SK the edge in controlling the disease. If the CDC had been at all organized they could have been in the same position as SK with respect to testing. If you can test and target the infected you don't need a stockpile of supplies.
