At this point in time, you would lose that bet, no discussion about it.
Currently, the infection is spreading through Italy, with Austria and Switzerland next in line (a train from Italy has just been stopped at the Austrain border due to people coughing....). Europe is a continent where countries are tightly interwoven by all kinds of trafic, so there is no chance to stop the virus from jumping borders (even if we actually knew how the virus is spreading) all over Europe. And if you check Europe, there are a lot more than 200 million people around.
Needless to say, Iran is now largely hit by the virus and I don't even imagine how that will evolve. It is already a country in economic trouble and I don't see a chance for the ruling clerics to understand what is going to happen. Next in line: India.
