Australia had about 1/4 of that. Granted it’s an island but I don’t think illegal entry into the United States was a big factor. They locked down the borders and we never did.

FWIW seasonality, geography, and travel patterns seems to have played a large part in how long a country had to decide before enacting measures that would make a difference.

It would seem that any country that was in summer during the spread had the advantage to stomp out virus when the trend was low (and in the case of the islands - shut down all travel).
