And then what? We're going to impose 2 week quarantines on every flight into the US? Have a dedicated branch of the CDC perform contact tracing on everyone who crosses the borders?

I think you greatly overestimate how politics plays into this. It never ends until we're immune.

No.

You just keep testing people, and do isolation and contact tracing on the ones that get sick.

In the meantime, vaccines will start to roll out.

Curbing this pandemic is perfectly practical and within reach, given the will to do it.
