"We also see very different kinds of strategies to cope with the situation. At one extreme, we have Sweden. They haven't shut down the country. People are still going to restaurants and bars. It's too early to tell whether that strategy of reaching community immunity will be successful or not. And then we have the case of South Korea, which I think is the best example of a successful approach to all of this. Very few cases, very few deaths. And notice on the map where South Korea is located, very close to China, and very integrated with China in so many different ways economically. They managed to even stage an election a week ago. Here in the United States, we've had to postpone more than a dozen primaries. So I think there's a great diversity of experiences out there. And we should certainly try to learn from each of them in terms of their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to coping with this pandemic."
