We have already seen how just one person coming into this country with the infection led to an exponential spread because the damned thing is so infectious. What makes anyone think we can get to any semblance of normality against something like this?
I admire the government for trying, I really do, but in the end, this problem will continue until we find and distribute a vaccine or it dies off by itself. Not a nice prospect.

I don't think anyone in the government is under the impression this is the end of the matter. They are trying a balancing act and minimising economic and human wellbeing damage.
