    South Korea has 2 times as many cases than Iran & Italy, but 1/3 as many deaths compared to Iran & Italy. What's going on in Iran and Italy? Iran has never battled a pandemic and is unprepared, but Italy?

    • As for your question, I think they probably just got unlucky, and being a heavily toured country, were blindsided. They have a competent health authorityNairn
    • and like a lot of Euro countries, are sort of able to hoy military and civilian authorities at the problem, so I imagine will stem the tide... just, belatedly.Nairn
    • All schools are shutting for two weeks, for instance.Nairn
    • Italy has an older population than SK, there are more people over 65yrs old in Italy and apparently this virus is more lethal the older you are.zarkonite
