Has ANYONE in America ever been contacted to say they might have been exposed to the virus because they were at a certain location and asked to be tested?

From what I can see, this was the KEY in South Korea’s strategy and it sounds like Japan’s also. I haven’t seen ANY reports of this happening in the U.S.

It makes perfect sense. The biggest spread of the virus by far seems to come from these large events with a lot of people in close proximity to each other for hours at a time. It’s easy to locate and contact people who were at a specific event. You test them and get them treated or quarantined or self-quarantined and you’ve immediately contained the lion’s share of the exposed people. You’re also catching them early before they have symptoms and have had a chance to spread them.

The U.S. doesn’t seem to be attempting or at least succeeding in doing any kind of investigating to track down people who may have been exposed but don’t know it yet and get them tested.

Yeah, I have. I work in a hospital in southern NJ. I've been told on three occasions since the 19th. of this month I may have been exposed to this filthy disease. I am currently having my temperature monitored twice a day. So far it's been normal. I'm working this Saturday and have been told to report to what's been called our ''command center'' for testing.
