In short, South Korea has certainly dealt best with the crisis and without a mass lock down. Mass and free testing and health care is crucial.
Well, this is not South Korea here in NYC. I am fucking 75 years old and had bronchitis lasting a month last October. If it was up to me, there would be a strict curfew after 8pm. The rules being enforced right now are not an impediment to workers militias or a general strike. Instead, it is the backwardness of the working-class. Maybe the economic collapse and the realization that pandemics are a product of capitalist contradictions will change that but in the meantime, I want to live and write until I croak about 10 years from now--hopefully in my sleep.
