There have been several out-of-control pandemics in human history that we can look at. It’s true that lots of things have changed between the Bubonic plague sweeping through Europe and now, but people are still people; there may be some insights there. You’d have to ask a historian (I’m not one).
As different regions get this under control, I expect there to be health screenings required for international travel. In the old days, this was quarantine for inbound travellers, but adding a week or two to travel times is a lot less palatable now. We now have other, faster, ways of determining if someone is ill and I expect them to be deployed to protect areas that have succeeded.
