It appears that this virus will (for the most part) have to run it's course. NYC got destroyed because it landed there first and their population is dense. The south went on lock down before the virus got here en masse like it did it NYC. By the time NYC was aware of the problem the virus has infilatrated NYC completely. As the south came out of quarantine the inevitable happened...cases rose...the virus is here now.

What will be interesting is to see how NYC fairs over the next month. It will be a litmus test for the rest of the country. It's really bad news if we start seeing a massive spike in NYC over the next 3-4 weeks.
So when do you believe COVID first arrived in the US?

Not when was it first detected. The first case on US soil before it was a known virus.
