It's a possibility. SARS II was much harder to contain though. The first SARS actually made it to North American hospitals, but was contained. It didn't spread in the populace.

Once SARS II made it out of China, only globally coordinated net 0 case policies could have stopped it. I think it would have been worth trying for but there was no appetite for it.

Totally fair, but as I recall he didn't even try to keep it away from US soil (which had always been the CDC approach).
