@Hindsite, there was community transmission before the 1st recorded case, but you can't find a virus if you don't look for it. The US had warnings about the virus in November from intelligence and in December and on January 3rd from Beijing and the WHO. Yet the US delayed testing for months. Any place where the virus spread undetected for a month or more (Wuhan, Iran, Lombardy, the US, etc.) has turned into an infection hot spot. That wasn't necessary. Germany had a test ready January 13th, two weeks before the first virus was imported into the country. This test was available to the whole world.
Don't pretend that the Trump administration followed WHO recommendation if it acted against WHO recommendation about the border closing. The fact that the US travel ban proved useless shows that the WHO was right.
The geographical position together with other factors such as lack of public transport, etc., would have made it easy to protect the US from the virus. The fact that it has become the worst affected country in the West is entirely due to the Trump administration.
By the time Trump is moved from the WH into prison, he'll be directly responsible for the deaths of more than 200,000 Americans and the worst economic crisis the country has ever experienced, from which it may never fully recover.
