With minimal budget and used in isolation, this is what you get. It is viable when used with other (strict) measures.

it seems that it is viable up to a specific scale, and we're already past that scale.

Honestly, my imagination fails to come up with a remotely plausible math model of containment, say in CA, of further spread from the current 400K (4M after the CDC 10x multiplier with the most being unaware of being a carrier) cases in 40M population.

It’s hard to fault what you are saying - with over 2 million active cases in the US it’s a truely massive task to contemplate.
