China’s current status is impressive but it’s come at enormous cost which is unsustainable in the long run. And it’s unclear what’s going to happen in the long run as China opens up workplaces and public gatherings, and as international travel and commerce resumes. It may very well explode again. Some countries will get a handle on this for now, but many won’t, and it will continue to spread globally. It might take months, it might take years, but it’s not going away.

Can we not provide the equipment and supplies (respirators, medicines, masks, disinfectant and sanitizers) that need providing? With any luck we'll have a vaccine in 18 to 24 months. The flu season is halted by warmer weather. We can change our behaviour for a few years until we get it under control.
