    No. You would have had to keep every citizen from every country inside for 2-4 weeks and enforce incredibly strict N95/KN95-only mask policies. If you have a single city not doing zero-COVID in this scenario, you lose containment.

        You seem to be stating if the US response had been 2-4 week strict lockdowns that we would have eradicated COVID.

        I am telling you no, it wouldn’t have prevented much unless every single human being on the planet was also in lockdown for the exact same 2-4 week period.
