300 dead is a pretty small outbreak by today’s standards I’d say. It was the second largest after Wuhan for a short while.

They have 300 deaths and 10k confirmed cases, suggesting they have confirmed 10% to a third of all cases.

It’s also impressive that they managed to keep the outbreak so small without extreme mitigations like other places with similar outbreaks.

I don’t think that most western countries can emulate it though. Next time, perhaps (this is South Korea’s second SARS outbreak).

They certainly can't if they don't even... try.
