You only need one single person to start an avalanche. We have had the story of the Italian patient 0 which was found to be in perfect health. So the source in Europe is still on the loose. But at this stage, it doesn't really matter anymore.
Now we are getting reports about infected people returning from Milan. Austria, France, Germany, Switzeland, Spain all report increasing numbers tracing back to a visit in the Milan region. So can you do in Europe the same as in China (where a totalitarian regime can isolate an entire megacity pretty much totally)? No we can't.
In Europe, we are in the early stages of a typical "virus-spreading-infection-curve" currently. The ship has sailed and it will arrive in other continents with some delay. I do wonder about ANZO though, there is a lot of traffic with asia in those countries and we don't read anything in the papers over here.
