Wow.

Does anyone actually know what a quarantine is?

Close your borders to non-citizens/non-residents. 14 day quarantine, enforced, for those repatriated.

Get on top of this thing while you can. At any point this could take a turn for the worse. Or not. Feel lucky?

"The second wave of the 1918 pandemic was much more deadly than the first. The first wave had resembled typical flu epidemics; those most at risk were the sick and elderly, while younger, healthier people recovered easily. By August, when the second wave began in France, Sierra Leone, and the United States, the virus had mutated to a much more deadly form. October 1918 was the month with the highest fatality rate of the whole pandemic"

Anyone banging on about "herd immunity" is being economical with the facts. It might work - if it does not mutate. Want to make the call that it won't?

Good luck and stay safe.
