It's was just a lot of public fear and political fear from governments afraid of being called out as responsible for deaths. Everyone was looking at Italy and freaking out and didn't want to be the one who did nothing.
Then there are some governments now trying to make the most of this opportunity to pass stupid laws and there are a some radical leftists who think it's the start of some teardown/revolution that was supposed to but never happened after either of the world wars.
It was supposed to be flattening the curve to prevent Italian overwhelm of the health system, that never happened. Doctors and nurses are idling in most 1st world countries due to elective surgeries being canned.
So it's gone from "flattening the curve" to "stay home just because"
Pointless stuff. You could achieve 0 cases for consecutive as we have here in my country but everyone knows it will spike again the minute flights start arriving from overseas.
We can't hide from it and it's probably going to be a seasonal thing that we are just going to have to live with.
Don't count on a vaccine.
