Planning for the possibility that nCoV cannot be contained
(Tweets from J. Hopkins Director)

Infectious Disease - Wuhan virus - possible pandemic if spreads

But given uncertainties + very high stakes, part of global & national planning efforts should now be aimed at Possibility that nCoV (Wuhan virus) containment could fail

Others have raised this possibility too, including @neil_ferguson at Imperial
who has said in last 24 hrs that containment of nCoV might not succeed.

Global and national leaders should be looking ahead to what must be done to prepare
for the possibility nCoV can’t be contained, even as we continue to work
as hard as possible to contain it in China and beyond.

The Mayor of Wuhan said that perhaps 5 million people fled the city prior to the quarantine. (Population of L.A. is about 4 million).

It’s already not contained as it has spread to other continents.

Unless you want to consider that it’s contained to only planet earth.

Obviously, they had to insert “Plans to keep travel & trade moving in the world, even if we do have disease spread around the world” so their masters won’t get mad at them.
