covid solution comparison between USA and Taiwan

Covid-19 is a coronavirus that has killed over 429,000 people in America and in a comparison with Taiwan which only has 7 total deaths caused by the coronavirus. What did Taiwan do that America didn't? Well first of all the location of Taiwan played a huge role in how quickly they were able to react to Covid 19 before the early stages really even started. Taiwan reacted so quickly to the point they started testing and quarantine travelers from Wuhan and china which at the time were areas where covid started. Not only did they do quarantine and testing but they started using technology to do contact tracing so they could prevent any more spread. What did America do wrong?  First of all the U.S ignored multiple warnings to Covid-19. The U.S would have had multiple advantages if it had heeded the warnings because of the number of resources the US had but because the US ignored the warnings we over 429,000 people died from covid-19. Experts state that everything that went wrong with America's response was predictable and preventable so not only did we ignore warning but because of the government's ignorance it essentially killed its own citizens. But if we reacted at the time we first learned about the virus it is a high chance that we would have stopped the spread and prevented a lot more deaths.
