One of the more successful countries in fighting the novel coronavirus? South Korea. Turn to them, then, to learn what we should be doing.
At the heart of what South Korea is doing, is testing. One in every 200 citizens has been tested. If someone in the apartment complex comes down with the virus, others in the complex might find notes on their doors asking them to come in and get tested.
They don't even wait for you to ask for the test, they seek you out, and find you out, sometimes before you even know you've got it. They track the virus down, identifying those who have it, and isolate them before they can infect others.
As of two days ago, South Korea had conducted more than 307,000 tests, making it the country with the highest per capita testing in the world.
