You and most liberals hold up testing in S. Korea as the example the US must follow, but I can't see that the actual numbers support that. The pop. of SK was 51 million in 2017. As of March 19, only 307,000 tests have been done in SK. That computes to only 6 tenths of 1%. There's no way that made an appreciable difference in flattening the curve there.

The public is more compliant there and knows what happened with MERS virus, but society and business wasn't shut down the way it was in China. Something else was going on to slow the rate of new cases.
