If we'd handled it according to the pandemic playbook, the US would be in a similar status as South Korea. There may have been a pandemic, but, we'd be in control of the situation and have a national level surveillance of potential outbreaks. There was even a slight chance of making the virus extinct if decisive action was taken early enough.

Now that the virus has permeated the interior of the country there's little chance of that without major disruptions.
