It's highly unlikely, however we should be prepared. Have PPE available and a mechanism to quickly scale up testing. Intervene early, screen people at airports and isolate them as appropriate and contact trace. It's not rocket science and while moderately expensive by 2019 terms it's a relative bargain compared to a 35% drop in forecast GDP.
