It doesn't even matter where the virus comes from. Why was South Korea able to handle it better than the US?
- NicoJuicy 6y agoThis one is easy, all neighbors of China have had multiple dangers of epidemics before. This is just the first one that spread globally.
- justwalt 6y agoThat article says the disease arrived in Europe in December, but the earliest case occurred in China in November.
- pkaye 6y agoOne reason is South Korea had to deal with SARS previously and were better prepared.
- effingwewt 6y agoThe origin of the virus can help immensely- for tracking, vaccination formulation, etc. We have handled it atrociously here in the US, and the reasons were myriad. But it's disingenuous to compare nations, we all operate differently.
