Explanation:
Coronavirus has brought to our notice that in matters of public health and welfare, Asian models are far superior to western ones. When dealing with this pandemic, South Korea has shown the world that it is streets ahead of Europe, particularly the United States. It leveraged its strengths in Information Technology, community health and service-oriented bureaucracy to maximum effect and reined in the spread of coronavirus in the country. Unlike other nations, including wealthy western ones, there has been no economic shutdown in South Korea and life is carrying on close to normal.
By setting up hundreds of testing centres and by contact tracing of confirmed and suspected cases of coronavirus through GPS and mobile tower coordinates, South Korean authorities established a firm grip over who they had to watch over. Instead of losing billions of dollars every hour on account of economic suspension, often closure, if the US had invested a fraction of that in the kind of services that South Korea has, the world, would have been better off.
South Korea has also exposed two other bogus excuses. First, democracy impedes swift state action. South Korea is a democracy, unlike, say China, but it is also a flourishing capitalist society that houses some of the biggest industrial giants of today. Further, the kind of powers the South Korean government was able to muster could also have been invoked by the American President. If Donald Trump had invoked the provisions of the National Emergency Act and the Stafford Act in time, the US would not be going through its current economic mess. Come to think of it: Donald Trump was willing to declare an Emergency to build a wall along the Mexico border but not when it came to fighting a pandemic.
The second fallacy is that it is easier to effectively implement social policies in countries with a small population. South Korea is a big country with a population close to that of Spain. Seoul alone has over 9 million people. It is not as if we are talking of Hawaii or Papua New Guinea, or even New Zealand. By the way, look at Spain today. Coronavirus has ripped through its economy and society.
Nobody considers South Korea to be a global leader, as we do the US. But that may soon change now, thanks to coronavirus.
