It cannot be "contained" any more. Consensus is it's pandemic, it's not hard to see.
Do we not understand how this works? What do reporters or the public think can happen?

We can't even supply gloves and face masks at the levels we need.

I saw a quote recently saying something like claiming they have a surgeon making claims about an amazing new surgical procedure because they have an idea and a scalpel working.
No proof that it works, doesn't have terrible side effects, or actually does anything useful on humans.
