It wasn't here in Jan.

Yes it was. Jan 15th: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0121-novel-coronavirus-travel-case.html

And it was reported on back then, but the government kept downplaying it and saying it would blow over. Well guess what? It didn't. The government has to plenty of tools and resources, and had plenty of warnings that they failed to capitalize on. You know who could've prevented much of the spring break stupidity? The government! They held off closing the beaches until it was too late.

You know what else overwhelms the system? Masses upon masses of sick people entering hospitals nationwide, where preventative measures could have an impact in metering the amount of people falling ill. Preventative measures that begin in part with ramped up testing.

So no. Your point does not stand, and only serves to showcase the ignorance that is exacerbating the current situation. Your particular brand of ignorance isn't much better than that exhibited by those spring break morons.
