I won't make the unfair comparison to, say, New Zealand, which has no land borders, but let's take Vietnam: * 100M people * Long land borders with Laos, Cambodia, and China * Virus located in state territory in Jan 2020 * Total number of verified cases: 3,137. * Total number of deaths: 35 * Current number of daily new cases: ~50. Multiply the figures by 3.3 or so to normalize with US population. Forget the quibbling over the statistical model. Maybe it's only 600K. Regardless, it's over _20000 times higher_. And even allowing for, I don't know, different susceptibility to the symptoms, or whatever - the US numbers are just insane.
