Ideally if we closed off the borders early to non-citizens + temporary residents, we’d be in an entirely different situation. The administration did things half-assed. At the first notice of the virus, Trump was in denial. The first case was on Jan 20th. After 40 days they were still downplaying it saying it will go to zero. The borders and airports were where it would spread. Ideally every incoming passenger would have been tested. Every single one. The other way would be to lock down hotspots. Like China locked out Wuhan from rest of country. However in US many things are just hard to achieve since we are a democracy. US most likely will have more deaths than other countries, mostly because we have third highest population. China and India seem somewhat competent. I guess time will tell.
