Countries such as the USA have higher death rates (47,974) than countries that are taking extreme precautions such as Hong Kong (4).
Pro claim 2
Hong Kong is putting people who have traveled to in from anywhere around the world and anyone who is not from Hong Kong in quarantine for 14 days under supervision from technology.
Pro claim 3
