Isn't this a minor upgrade on what the authorities did in Wuhan? They squashed the disease at the epicenter, faster than the tail-off in Italy, and a lot of it was massive screening and isolation of anyone showing symptoms, or with a high temperature (1), or testing positive, or anyone in contact with those.

If "it happened and it worked" isn't "mainstream" then I don't know what is.
