The most remarkable thing here is that the people were tested for Covid-19 by accident because one patient claimed to have contact with someone from China (who later turned out NOT to be infected).
....otherwise this entire infection chain would have been missed.
It really makes you wonder how many infection chains exist elsewhere that are still flying entirely under the radar.
Given cases like this and broad underreporting from certain countries, my estimation is that containment is impossible at this point, and that therefore we will be in mitigation mode with numerous global outbreaks until the vaccine is available.
