China vs Europe: Our country focused on people from China entering the US & bringing COVID 19. However, it appears that a more contagious COVID strain was entering our country from Europe (which we didn't focus on until later). At this point, testing capabilities are limited. However, once flu seasons hits, if there are adequate tests, I would think the goal would be to test febrile people with respiratory sx's.
