This simply isn’t true. If every single person had stayed fully locked down, the pandemic would have stopped in its tracks.

But that simply isn't true either.

Perfect eradication has to be the objective, not simply stopping it in its tracks. Otherwise, whenever you open up, you start spreading again.

It's also a rather offensive appeal to human superiority in as much as it totally ignores the various animal reservoirs.
