| Pyro as Bill said: I don't see how this gets contained long term without taking the South Korean approach and/or isolating the vulnerable while the rest of us catch it on purpose.

The important thing is to try and slow the spread more than stopping it. If everybody all gets sick at the same time then health services would be quickly overrun. Also, a slow spread would also help group immunities start to kick in that would help slow it even further. In 6 months to a year there should also be a vaccine. So the more we can slow the spread the better.
