Just take malaria as just one instance, for which no vaccine or cure has been found for hundreds of years.
Despite all the scientific and medical advances, it still kills nearly 750,000 a year, and has done for centuries. Often several millions, in a year.
About 60% of those who die are under 5, but sadly no vaccine is expected soon. Just like for Covid/coranovirus.
Much is known about malaria (mosquitoes etc.), but still no cure. Virtually nothing is known about our new highly infectious arrival, which doesn't require an insect bite.
Sadly we don't even yet understand how our new visitor spreads so quickly. To every country on earth, in only 6 months.

No it's not.
The analogy is silly; but let's give it a go:
It's like an aggressive looking couple moving in next door and everyone assumes they will be unstoppable and indiscriminate axe murderers.
So the whole Borough is made to stay indoors, lose their jobs, miss cancer check ups, lose lives and loved ones in an attempt to save everyone from a threat that is made real by a daily bombardment of flyers through the door alluding to criminal acts of aggression, "suspected" to have been committed by or "linked" to said family and likely to increase.
The family have committed a couple of homicides, so are undoubtedly dangerous, but always linked to underlying conditions such as drug territory or sexual jealousy.
99% of the Borough were not at serious risk from the family. But it was felt worth sacrificing the quality of 800 lives in the Borough than to have been seen to not take seriously enough the threat to a dozen.
In time it was shown that against the dozen murders commited by the family, 100 further lives were lost in the long run due to suicide , drug and alcohol abuse, untreated medical conditions, and in 3 cases spontaneous combustion due to boredom.

MIeasles is ludicrously infectious because you only need a tiny particle to catch it.
Pre-vaccine, it was controlled by very strict quarantine of the infected child and everyone who had come into contact, and their siblings.
Perhaps following the same method might help now? It is no use making up silly rules about serving Cornish pasties until ten o clock but letting it run amok in schools.
