No, because you are wrong. 

Past actions prove the fact that the US did not close travel internally while keeping international travel open.

Wake up. The Covid dream is over.

If it started spreading from a city in the U.S., we wouldn't have prioritized closing domestic travel over international travel?   
Mkay.

I don't know what we might do TODAY, we all know what was attempted back when it was spreading and misundertood in many aspects.  The attempts to isolate it  all failed, though we could have done a more assiduous job in isolating the elderly early on, and didn't.

I don't think a country can effectively isolate a disease by shutting down internal air travel, there are too many more vectors available.

Do you mean to say that "America's Governor" didn't do a good job?

I was musing about seeing Pelosi trapsing around Chinatown in SF when thsi was breaking out encouraging folks to "come on down".  There really was no good way to isolate this disease (aside from the aforementioed folks who were already effectively cut off, like old folks homes, and even then a worker would come and go).

This thing was amazingy infective, and fortunately the predictions it would "burn out" and become less virulent seems to have played out.

I see various estimates about how many lives the vaccines saved, and maybe so, I don't know how to calculate that based on really quantitative metrics that are fully supported by the data.  

A lesson was that nobody in government, in my view, did a very solid job with much of anything.  And I understand that early on there was fear and lack of knowledge.  It could have been MUCH worse, see 1918-19.

Then, around here, the governor "opened" the state on April 22 as I recall.  Even Trump criticized him (Kemp) saying it was too early.  The vast majority of places stayed closed even after they were allowed to open.  Not a single restaurant near us opened until 2-3-4 weeks later, and then they had the tables spaced well apart, which cut down on capacity of course.  Everyone was wearing a mask.  I was getting to need a haircut pretty badly and my wife's stylist would cut mine with her present getting her hair treated/colored, he was doing one person at a time during that period.  (I didn't like the way he cut my hair, I prefer Great Clips, which didn't reopen then.)

Gradually, stuff started to reopen a bit as everyone watched the numbers on the news.  Kroger had "over 65" hours early in the morning.  They restocked fairly quickly after being nearly stripped.  I recall the concern we'd run out of food.

We had an interesting event every night at 8 PM, everyone would go out of their units and cheer for the first responders, not that it did them any good, but it was a nice thing to experience.

If memory serves, Florida was mostly "closed" when we first got down here in April 2020. By mid-May it was open. Masks optional. When it was time for the demo/renovations here, we went back up to Illinois to close out our condo rental. Illinois was closed. I bought clippers to cut my hair. 

I knew the store manager at the grocery store very well and he would set things aside for us to come pick up. TP was gold.

By July 1, we were living in Kenosha on our boat. I worked in the kitchen room/office in the marina up there as we were not allowed to go into any of our Illinois offices to work. 

Wisconsin was mostly open. Lots of distancing rules. Masks optional.

Sold the boat (everyone was buying boats and RV's at that time - we did very well on it).

Back in Florida after Labor Day. Could not travel to Illinois for Christmas due to quarantine rules against people from Florida (and other open states). 

I think our offices in Illinois were finally allowed to open in July of 2021.

America's president assured everyone that it would just go away.  Remember that?  At around 15 cases, it would magically stop there.  And, you know, not wind up being over 100 million.  Stable genius and all.

A lot of politicians said and did a lot of stupid, or at least ignorant, things during COVID.  Film at 11.

If you think one side had more stupidity than the other, well, it's possible that's due to bias on your part.    And some of the stupidity was so stupid it had no impact on anything beyond some soundbites.

President Trump Awards Presidential Commendations to Operation Warp Speed Team – The White House (archives.gov)

The list includes Fauci, Birx, and Milley.  And today many Trump supporters loathe Fauci AND the mRNA vaccine.  But they seem to forget Trump's role in it.  Life is weird.  People choose a side and then .... logic disappears.

President Donald J. Trump awarded Presidential Commendations to the below individuals in recognition of their exceptional efforts on Operation Warp Speed:
