This is an entirely different situation. MERS & SARS were never spreading at an exponential rate in almost every country of the world (which Covid-19 currently is), and even the countries of origin were able to contain the outbreaks rather quickly.
Corona will probably never "go away" again unless we want to fundamentally change the way we live (which I think won't happen), so the only option right now is to slow the spread until more research has be done and the infrastructure has been built up to deal with severe cases.
