Trump actually said.  "It's a little like a regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."

And that was way back in March and he was proved essentially correct.

Yes, of course. That's why the USA has had around *ten times* as many Covid deaths as flu deaths...

[/quote]A reminder for you. He said that in Feb 2020 (in my post I got it wrong as I said March ) but he actually said it on February 26 at which time the US had 60 cases.
Also on the same day 26th Feb TheWHO noted that "...14 countries that have had cases have not reported a case for more than a week, and even more importantly, 9 countries have not reported a case for more than two weeks: Belgium, Cambodia, Finland, India, Nepal, Philippines, the Russian Federation, Sri Lanka and Sweden.
So your attaching todays figures to what Trump said in Feb 2020 is basically fake news
