How was it slow? Be specific. I'll even give you the timeline because I know what a low IQ, uninformed dumbass you really are:
On December 31 last year, China alerted WHO to several cases of unusual pneumonia in Wuhan
January 6: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a travel notice for Wuhan, China due to the spreading coronavirus
January 7: The CDC established a coronavirus incident management system to better share and respond to information about the virus
January 11: The CDC issued a Level I travel health notice for Wuhan, Chinahttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001191
First case discovered in the US on January 19th. Arrived on January 15th.
January 20: Dr Fauci announces the National Institutes of Health is already working on the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus
January 31: The Trump Administration:

2. Announced Chinese travel restrictions
3. Suspended entry into the United States for foreign nationals who pose a risk of transmitting the coronavirus.

February 29: The Trump Administration:

Again for the unhinged Trump hating loons; this isn't about Trump. It's about the Chinese and the failed W.H.O.
