I think a lot of people are still under the impression that they can avoid the disease by strict hygiene. Ultimately you can only avoid it for a while. Washing hands etc will hopefully mean you can dodge the bullet for a while but it will find you in the end. It’s only going to stop when the population as a whole develops an immunity. This will happen when around 80% of individuals have been infected or a vaccine has been developed. The Chinese strategy of containment will ultimately fail.
