I'm trying to be optimistic.. The alternative is too bleak.

I really doubt containment is going to stamp it out. But it can certainly slow things down.
The optimistic scenario is that it spread in the US is slow enough and also that the virus mostly disappears with warmer summer weather.
It would probably return next fall but there might be better treatments by then. And if people who get the disease can be spread out in time than hospitals won’t be overwhelmed.
