Is the Cure Worse than the Disease?

[Wrongside]

They never went into a lockdown. Just the social distancing and lots of testing/tracing and isolating people early.

Their strategy was testing as many people as possible and trace where they got it and who they may have infected. They use infected people's phone data to find out where they have been and make maps to show where testing needs to be done.

At some point they are going to have to deal with foreign travellers and people will start getting infected though, unless they can continue exactly the same way as now until a vaccine arrives. Which seems unlikely to me.

Yes, their situation is very intriguing and one to watch. On one hand, I do think they may have just simply nailed and could be a real model to the rest of the world... However, part of me seriously doubts that with a disease such as this, you can truly account for all the people you had interaction with/could have infected (especially in light of what we are learning about the ways it can be transmitted).

In short, for S.Korea to attribute something that is nearly impossible as the one of the reasons for their success makes me pause...
