I wouldn't bet on that. China halted it with extremely drastic measures, quite possibly more than we'd be able to muster in the US. Not that many people here have sick leave, and few can afford to not work for a month. Given how virulent this is and the statistic that 20% of cases require medical attention, once the hospitals fill this could get quite ugly.

Compounding that is the US government's response, which has been quite weak so far.
