[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Italy now has the second highest case count, having surpassed South Korea today.

Italy: 7,375 cases   366 deaths

South Korea: 7,313 case	50 deaths[/quote]

What is up with the mortality rate disparity?! It will be very interesting to see how the data rolls out - age, general health, smoking, etc. [/quote]

It's likely more functional and better trained medical care. South Korea has an ace health care system. COVID-19 is going to come as a nasty surprise to people who think that "western" is inherently superior.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_South_Korea

South Korea DOES practice Western medicine - they are easily on par with the US.[/quote]

they are heads and shoulders BETTER than the US.  I didn't mean "western" as in medical vs. eastern medicine.  I meant it as in, white European.  Americans will be shocked to find out how sh*tty our healthcare system is compared to Korea and maybe even China. [/quote]

Dear LORD, the China is great poster.  :roll: [/quote]

On thing the crisis in Wuhan revealed is that the Chinese medical system is way over centralized.  There are barely any clinics, which is why we saw all those huge lines at the Wuhan hospitals when cases went over a few 100 there.  This of course served only to escalate spreading of the virus.[/quote]
