I am very skeptical about that containment part, as Italy case shows you miss just 2-3 cases and it sneaks up on you.

To be fair the church turned out to be very special and refused to stop the mass gatherings.

Once again HN Civility disease strikes, if you blame anyone specific in politics for anything, expect heavy down voting because somehow that's not "civil", no matter how true it is.
The president tweeted this 2 days ago [1]:
> So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!
This is what the Surgeon General said on Sunday [2]:
> "If we had massive numbers of cases we would be seeing more deaths. And so we actually feel pretty good that some parts of the country have contained it just like when you look at the flu," Adams said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. "When we look at the flu tracker, some parts of the country are having much more severe flu seasons. Some are having very mild flu seasons. The same thing for coronavirus."
