South Korea maintained separate facilities for those with Covid-19 symptoms, located away from their hospitals.
This common-sense approach kept their hospitals from being contaminated by those with
communicable airborne disease, and preserved
a sterile environment in which their existing patients could safely receive treatment for
cancer, heart disease, etc.
South Korea had a normal cold season for three years with Covid-19, and did not see the extreme
levels of deaths of those who would have been seeking hospital treatment for pre-existing conditions,
as seen in countries with uncontrolled
hospital admissions, such as the United States.
Their Practical Maximum Deaths-Per-Case was 1.5%, and is currently
at 0.1%.
South Korea has had a fairly steady rate of cases:
They have seen
as many as 2,813 deaths per day
on as many as 1,614,522 daily cases,
for a total of 27,093 deaths,
or 19.9 per 100,000 of their population:
The way South Korea handled Covid-19 has resulted in far better results than countries like the United States.
