Interesting you say this, I had tea today with a retired virologist (she used to work at the Royal Marsden) and she told me pretty much the same thing. It's very difficult to stop such a virus from spreading, we can try and delay it but at very high cost, which is probably much higher than the damage that this virus will eventually cause.
She finds the media reaction to be OTT and unhelpful and to anybody who is really worried about catching it, she half-jokingly recommends getting the common cold from a child as this will offer protection from covid-19 (for the duration of the cold).
I could see Quantum now cataloguing the different common cold viruses and following kids like a very dodgy guy.
