Good news, finally! pretty low mortality rate in South Korea. Perhaps very aggressive testing is just the thing we need. Lots of drive through testing throughout the country would be great. Catch it early, make people aware of their status. Get them to self isolate. It's pretty noninvasive as well from I can tell, just swam swabbing.
