I'm South Korean living in states almost 8 years and one of many problems that I see in this pandemic is the MEDICAL SYSTEM here.

America has 10 times more military budget than Russia yet their veterans are homeless. Totally shows how whacked up the economy is. Yet muricans are so afraid communist, they don’t realize the faults in their own system

you nailed it

Great Nation American People ! Please learn from South Korean People ! How organized they are. STOP PANIC FOOD SHOPPING ! LEAVE SOME FOOD AND TOILET PAPER WHO NEEDS. SOUTH KOREA HAVE PLENTY FOOD AND TOILET PAPER IN ANY SUPERMARKETS. SHAME ON YOU ! WHO IS FIRST CLASS CITIZEN IN THE WORLD ? SOUTH KOREA ! FROM US CITIZEN. SHAME ON YOU AMERICA !

If you get sick/die, if your loved ones sick/die......there is only 1 person to blame. Your leader. The one you voted into office. Think about that this time in 2020 America! You have a say in how your lives will be in the future. Vote wisely! ( And I'm a Canadian watching in horror what your leader tells you! )

Now I understand why dr Mike was paying stress on flattening the curve.

From from the UK but in Vietnam. They're testing and quarantining all arrivals. They're prepared 17000 beds for quarantine expected arrivals. If someone is positive the trace all ppl who were in contact as well. I'm surprised no one's talking about Vietnam they didn't have any cases for 3 weeks until the breakout in Europe.

Trump: "We've got enough problems with South Korea..." This comment he made during his disappointment for the Academy Award winning film Parasite (2019) just gave me a clue that he won't put down his pride under asking for assistance from South Korea. I won't be surprised when Trump will claim "See we've got it all under control" once an American Virologist has finally developed a vaccine by 2021 😔

[@user-cj4hk8lr1v]

Oh Justine You are sooo smart 🤗Why don't you give me a clue with your intelligence??? 1) Political interests or artistic interests? Bong Joon Ho is a filmmaker with strong anti-American feelings, you can see it in The Host (2006), or better in the movies that “Hollywood knows”: Okja (2016) or Snowpiercer (2013), oh wait sorry, I forget that in those years probably you still did not hate Trump... But of course, the most convenient thing is to give the Academy Award to Bong Joon Ho in 2020 to continue fomenting hatred towards our president and our nation. So give me a clue please: political interests or artistic interests?😶 2) Comparing or poisoning? The video compares USA with South Korea. The population of South Korea is 51 million while the United States population is 329 million. Do I have to keep writing or finally you can give me your bright clue? Comparing or poisoning?

Why do the Americans have to develop a test? Intelligent people will use that is already developed in S. Korea. Ask for or buy the design! Source what is needed and mass produce it! Don't wait for a new development.

[@harumih.3727]

These charts clearly show how poor Trump's handling has been. And how incompetent he is as a national leader. The South Korea president even went out to the streets to volunteer to help the drive-through testing!! To the contrary, Trump has done nothing, other than talking and attacking and blaming others. How incompetent he is and how his incompetence and ignorance have cost our lives.

[@jsasa1861]

This is not surprising as South Korea is an ordinary developed country whereas the US is a mixture of developed and undeveloped country.

[@susheela108]

Amen! Thank you for exposing the truth!

[@Fairysang_yt]

One side is South korea who invented testing cube very fast and tests so many people in just one day... Cool And another is Taiwan who gifting masks and sanitizer to peoples and cleaning all the stuffs on very early stage and for foreignier they had started checking for coronavirus... And one more is India.. Yes india who is try to help all over the world and even they donate 15thousand tons medices to china and now they invended cheapest and fasted tester for corona and even foundout the medicins in such early stage...proud of you guys.... I think all the world you should not take this easy .... Its serious matter...

[@Cadenadelreino]

tbh Japanese and South Korean people have way more self-discipline than people in the US or Europe...Esp the younger ones. This might also be a factor to flatten to curve....

[@davidalankaltwasser8833]

Not everywhere in Europe !

[@loonasavedthemusicindustry3606]

Korea not Japan. Japan doesnt test at all

[@slashshooter003]

At this point, it could be considered to be a "Legal Genocide" by not doing anything. Leaders doing nothing during this troubling times are not a true leader. They should inspire people, making a decision that benefits their own people, not leave them to fend for themselves and die while they're safe from this madness at their security tight home, doing some pointless remarks LIVE. They could either be ignorant, or they have some sinister plan at hand.

Does he know that this country doesn’t have billions of people ?

[@Meryamtin]

All the comments about Japan for the love of God take care of your own business, and try to find solutions, don't play the same game you fool president is doing, stay home protect yourself, don't fight over toilets paper, get yourself together and start putting finger to your politicans form them to start acutely doing thier job, as the dr. Said in video the virus doesn't care who you are, it coming after you, stay safe.

[@user-pporigi]

Don't include Japan in the list of countries that have responded well. Their government's position is if testing is kept in low numbers then the number of covid19 cases will also be kept low. The actual number of cases is at least ten times higher than what is reported in Japan.

[@boostlee5236]

This what Americans voted for. Someone that cares more about his pockets than the people of this country. I knew we where f'd in 2016 but this takes it to a whole another level.

[@dfsdadfsdf8384]

What? Korea cases are flattening while the US cases keep rising. wow I'm 'shock'

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

Big problem with US health industry, (see I didn't call it a system) is that it is geared purely around selective treatment on a user pay basis for profit not a prevention system first and who pays later notion, which has left the ability to cater for the size of population based on percentage of population able to afford it

[@teama224]

The problem in America is that people are not staying home when they can and they just blame it on the goverment, government can’t do much of people don’t obey orders, miami is a disaster to be. That young people really don’t care about anything. So it needs to start with the people, if you can stay home then stay home.
