The U.S. is worse than that.  Much worse.  Bush learned from the SARS
outbreak and left a playbook for future outbreaks, Obama improved it
after Ebola and MERS, the bureaucrats were all set to implement in
February 2020, and Trump said "Don't. You. Dare. Tank. My.[sic]
Economy" (imagine thunderbolts, timpani, and reverb pinned to 10).

So any country that lets people who have recently been in the U.S. in
is irresponsible, because Americans are superspreaders as a completely
foreseeable side effect of deliberate Administration policy, which
manifestly has not changed. :-( :-( :-(
