To be fair, it's a lot easier to isolate an island than multiple international hubs for many different types of people (LA, SF, NYC).

Also having leadership which denies anything is bad until a major sports league (NBA) takes action doesn't help.

This sentiment is trying to say the US doesn’t have effective border control. When it completely does.

If the US wanted an international lockdown, it could have had one.

... Does trump propaganda still persist?

How’s much Covid was spread via Mexican border crossings as oppose to international flights?

It helped that states in Australia could close their borders internally. The US justification for having different legal systems in each state, experimentation, doesn't apply when states basically aren't allowed to close their borders.
