Yes, they did, but the first three you mention were at the epicenter of the early pandemic when mitigation efforts were put in place only after massive outbreaks were well under way. That happened when the idiot Trump closed the US to travelers from China, but not places like Italy where covid was raging and there is always high volume traffic to the Northeast of the US. Michigan had a lot of insane rednecks who refused to comply with recommendations even when they were marching into the state capitol with guns, and now they have fewer.
