South Korea did not have to go into a high level economy starving NPI because they:
1. Quickly started testing to find out who was infected
2. Quickly started isolating the sick
3. Made more test and PPE to stay on top of the pandemic
4. Had a leader who didn't have to take multiple dementia test then bragged about passing them.

Joe Biden will have a lot to do next year ... we pray for his soul

The economy is not suffering because of coronavirus.
South Korea and many other countries like Germany have shown that it can be contained.
The economy is suffering because of Trump and GOP incompetence.
