What you mean to say is that you don't think the efforts to contain it would be cost effective. There's no scientific evidence to suggest it's not containable, if we adequately control human behaviour, restrict movement, test, trace and isolate just like any other virus.

This exercise obviously not helped by Herd Immunity Week.

That's not true - there's nothing wrong with people in small groups so long as there is no mixing between groups. These could be streets, villages, towns, etc.

That way it eventually can only be exposed to members of the smaller groups making test, track, trace even easier. Whole areas can gradually be declared clear of the virus so long as there's no mixing with groups under investigation.
