"We’re not seeing community spread here in the United States"

The US is barely doing any testing, so if there was community spread of COVID-19 in the US right now, there's a good chance they wouldn't even know about it.

My understanding is that until very recently they wouldn’t do the test unless you had been to Hubei, so there would be no community spread by definition.
