Alpha came out of the UK. The first strain of covid that swept the US was also from Europe. The original Wuhan strain was never a factor in the US. We banned flights from China but when covid first hit hard here, it came out of Europe. That's why New York was the original big hotspot in the US. That's also why flight bans have limited utility.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think that was because the entire world was unvaccinated, so of course a variant can evolve anywhere.
We have to stop infections. Even an asymptomatic infection can lead to a variant.
Until that miracle drug comes out, you are asking for the impossible.
I checked out the US government site for ordering free rapid tests just now. It's supposed to go live tomorrow, but it seems to already be working. I was able to input an order and receive a confirmation from USPS. (Although no tests will ship for a couple weeks still. Seemed like I might as well get in line.)It's here if anyone else wants to check it out: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I think it's remarkable that not only did the site not crash, it didn't even slow down. Considering past large government launches, I was expecting the worst.
