Pay Close Attention to South Korea’s Apparent Encouraging Signs on COVID-19 talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/pay-clo… via @TPM
2/ Everything about COVID-19 must be considered tentative. Things could change. But there are now signs that South Korea is starting to get their outbreak under some control. The number of new cases has been down each day for the last four days.
3/ What is important from a US perspective is that a lot of this seems tied to very aggressive testing at scale. South Korea has also avoided restrictions on people's movement, such a key part of the strategy in China, focusing on other non-pharmaceutical interventions.
4/ In other words, the strategy that **seems** to be working in South Korea is one that at least broadly we should be able to implement here -- IF we hurry up.
