And comparing the US to S Korea is an apples to oranges comparison. I’m talking about US cities with our lack of testing, variable enforcement of sheltering State by State, and otherwise more lax response compared to our Asian counterparts.
A better comparison would be the per capita case rate in Seoul, for example, versus rural S Korea

I am not sure what you're trying to say. I don't think there is any correlation between density and number of cases. Regardless, you are pointing out 2 dense cities with similar results in the number of cases. Additionally, LA is doing a terrible job testing and refusing to test many. There are many variables to the numbers. Furthermore San Francisco is only recording 105 cases but back to LA:

Hopefully the rest of the Country isn't following LA when it comes to testing.
