I agree with everything you said about Seoul, but that needs to be put in context (which we know, but HN mostly don't). Confirmed case numbers of Seoul in last 7 days (7/19 to 7/25) are 10, 2, 18, 16, 11, 19, 11 (total 77). Since total over South Korea in the same period is 168, it does make Seoul hotspot. But it is also far better compared to other countries.
- strogonoff 6y agoThanks, this was worth pointing out. I should rephrase: it is not that the issue is “not solved”, but rather that it is difficult to measure whether these QR codes make much of a difference considering apparently lax enforcement and the already-low infection rates. It’d be interesting to see if, implemented in a stricter manner, they could make a difference in a country like the US; the concept does seem sound.
