The idea is to break the chain of transmission. After that we hope that subsequent transmissions are small enough not to overwhelm systems and are detected quickly enough to be contained. And hope that a vaccine arrives that can provide herd immunity.

It’s the ultimate iatrogenic response. We are going to crater the global economy to try to contain a virus that’s already spread past the point of containment.
Fortunately, the death rate is likely orders of magnitude lower than the media would have you believe.
