Deathrate for Coronavirus - USA vs South Korea

[RogerDodger]

Both South Korea and the US discovered their first case of the Coronavirus at about the same time. However, the death rate per 1 million of population is...

South Korea = 4
USA = 29

That is over a 7 times difference! And South Korea did this WITHOUT shutting down its entire economy. My only conclusion is that we (USA) are doing a piss poor job at managing the Coronavirus and many, many, more people will die unnecessarily.

Many still don't get it and think that it won't happen to them or they don't believe what they are being told. Time will tell. Sigh...so sad.
