that's literally what's happening right now in Italy (and I think other European countries). It is not voluntary quarantine; although the level of enforcement is not at the level of China, you can get arrested if you are found outside without a good reason.

Plenty of Italians ARE leaving their apartments, to the point that the government has started issuing fines and criminal charges. And that's only sort-of working.

The Chinese meanwhile crack the whip -- and people listen, mostly 'cuz they know the government will back up their words harshly.

I heard on the radio that they pulled cell phone data in northern Italy (might be illegal) and determined that 40% are still going out.

And the curve is still going upwards. Are they all wanting to die?
