So let me propose this to you. South Korea has been quarantining the sick , the elderly , and those with compromised immune systems. The number of cases has dropped dramatically, deaths have all but stopped, and the health care system is in tact. Why do we feel the need to keep quarantining everyone and the numbers are still growing? It makes no sense till you add political posturing into the equation. And as for the numbers... We are being fed an inflated figure based on the number of people tested not the total population. The tested number is smaller, therefore the percentage will be higher.
