"Until there is significant containment which could take a year"
From the beginning, this was never about containment, it has always been about Mitigation. Slowing the spread of the virus, so the health care needs are not overwhelmed. it will spread to every place where humans exist, some of the remote areas may take months, years, decades.
The death toll will rise, and continue rising until everyone is exposed, and unfortunately many will be killed, either from it, or from complications.
Politicians will take advantage of the weakness of their opposite, and try to brag about anything good. There is a lot of grey area, black and white answers do not exist. Something about "For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction"......
Unfortunately, nature will run its course.
BTW The coronavirus bank that is rampant in certain bats has a lot more to offer after this. I am not saying it came from eating a bat, or that it was human made, but the facts are that China, (and other countries), harvest these virus for testing. So more than likely this virus was/is stored in a lab.
