And tell us just how such counties prevent infection from those outside
their county who come into -- to deliver goods, to visit or whatever?
Do they put up a wall and live in total isolation until it is all over?

However, your suggestion that they stay home is exactly correct.  That
is how the effects of this virus can be at least slowed down.

Your point is?   Trump was playing golf.  He did shut down travel from
China of foreign nationals on Jan 31, but the virus was already in the
USA.  On Feb 24, he declared that the virus was very much under control
-- a complete lie.  Throughout March, his approach to combating the
virus was implementing travel bans and restrictions.  While those may
have prevented some infections from foreign sources, they did nothing to
slow down the growth of infection rate from the cases already in the
USA.
