Raw data versus per capita
But the huge difference in population adds an important piece of context to those figures.
The U.S. population is 328,239,523, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. South Korea’s is 51.8 million.
That means South Korea has tested roughly one in every 144 of its residents. In the U.S., the per capita testing rate is closer to one in every 900 residents.
Unacceptable. We had the chance to be prepared from 2017 and our leaders said the Office of Disease Preparedness was not needed.
