I gets a bit tiring to see your inaccurate and never sourced claims.
I am not sure how you can claim Korea was able to isolate a "zero cluster".
Korea not only had the first super spreader event outside of China, they went through great lengths to inform the rest of the world about that case. I have linked it before. It is known around the world as the story of Patient 31.

FWIW - I see the detail on the tracing of that first outbreak and I get depressed. The level of detail Korea had on cases and links to other people during February was just amazing. Sucks to be us, I guess.
I am not a big fan of aljazeera, but there is a photo in that story that is stunning. People were standing in line to buy facemasks as soon as they were told about COVID. In the USA we rushed to get toilet paper....in Korea they got PPE.
K-POP recently punked President Trump's Tulsa rally, but those that follow K-POP knew in late January that a very deadly virus was already impacting the world.
I will add a link, in honor of Blackpink's comeback tomorrow, about Lisa Manoban's inability to go back to China for a show she was filming.

FWIW - I kick myself about this story everyday because I saw it at the time. I knew in late January that Koreans were very concerned about the pandemic and were laser focused on making sure that everyone returning from China get tested.
K-POP fans knew in January what you claim our POTUS could not act upon until March?
It is a pretty low bar when we are saying Korean teenagers are expected to have greater savvy about global pandemics than a POTUS.
No one is defending Trump. There is an election coming. He’s gonna get this shoved down his throat. What gets old is the suggestion that it all on Trump. Were it so simple.
