There will be a downside to any preventive measure.

And there will be opponents to any preventative measure too. If unanimous support is needed, then governments would never be able to do anything.

Let’s not forget that various diseases have been stopped in their tracks by concerted government and social action. SARS and MERS were also coronaviruses. Ebola has been contained or eliminated several times. Smallpox, a highly infectious virus, was virtually eliminated as was Polio. Measles was well contained by the MMR vaccine. Rarely have the 2 superpowers been so incompetent at combatting a potential pandemic.
