Give it a few months; it's a small political victory which will ultimately damage the Euro reducing their purchashing power down the road. This is still just the beginning.

CDC wasn't ready to test until much later. Even then, false positives and false negatives are still a rampant problem today.
Ports of entry in the USA aren't designed for broad quarantine practices.
Contact tracing doesn't work in a society that doesn't trust nor fear its government.
First two COVID-19 deaths in USA may have contracted the virus as early as January 5; China was saying virtually nothing at that point other than there's a novel coronavirus in Wuhan. The Chinese New Year basically guaranteed COVID-19 would become a global pandemic. Cases were all over the world before anyone knew it was a threat.
