It cannot be contained. That’s what the pandemic declaration means

That's the exact opposite of what the WHO said when they made the pandemic declarations:

"We cannot say this loudly enough, or clearly enough, or often enough: all countries can still change the course of this pandemic," reads a statement from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO.[1]

South Korea has shown this to be correct.

It is not the exact opposite in any way. Your quote does not support your assertion. The truth is that it cannot be contained. It can be slowed down though.
