If you look at south korea, on january 20th both south korea and the United States both identified their first patient with covid disease but the testing has been much more prevalent in south korea.

We needdersta who has recovered from the virus, who has become now what we call immune and less likely to be reinfected and the hope is now that maybe we can get this serum Antibody Test which will be critical in understanding, you know, who are these people who have already been infected and who have now built an immunity to the disease and those will be the ones who would be save to probably start working again.
