These days it is difficult to know what people are saying on the internet.

Do you mean it is or isn't possible, or something else?

[verbify]

I presume they mean it isn't possible, as there was an attempted quarantine around Wuhan, and yet coronavirus still spread.

It’s like with 42. You see what you want to see. Who knows if Wuhan is a success or not. There is no benchmark. If Seattle, Mediolan etc have 1M cases but Wuhan stays around 100K then their containment will be hailed a monumental success. But if everyone else contains this below 10K and Wuhan stays like today, it will be a failure. But it’s still the answer to OPs question, as Wuhan is the baseline.
