"It is WAY too late to contain this epidemic." Then the only choice for the world is to find a cure ASAP. I have no doubt that it could be done, but I do doubt that it will be done.

Unless something has changed in the past year, the number of viral disease that we know how to cure remains at
zero. There are vaccines to prevent numerous viral diseases, for instance
variola aka smallpox, but no cures once one is infected.
Won't be holding m'breath for any cures to pop up right quick.

This bug is mutating too fast to develope a vaccine. What's more, if you catch it and survive, you may not gain any immunity to a sebsequent mutation. Think of it as a cold that fills your lungs with snot instead of your nose. The medical community better start taking some serious humility pills.
