Virus counts

It appears that people in South Korea are better able to fight off the virus than those in the US As of yesterday South Korea tested 274,000 and found 8,300 positive or 3%. The US has tested 25,000 with 4,400 positive of 17%. The death rate in South Korea is about .7% while in the US the death count is 2.2%. South Korea is the size of Minnesota with 50 million people while the US has 320 million. The logistics make it easier to work with smaller populations. While testing allows for more accurate statistics it is only a snapshot because someone testing negative today could be positive tomorrow.
