There is an animal reservoir so even if we could eradicate it in humans, it would still be out there to catch as it continues to mutate in animals.So we've failed to eradicate it.  What's next?  Keep trying to eradicate it by forcing people to remain in their residences?  How long should we keep it up?</blockquote>
