quarantine right now is a good idea?

If we don't get a vaccine and/or treatments, the only effect of the
quarantine will be to slow down the spread.  This keeps the medical
sector from being overwhelmed which is a good thing.  It decreases the
death toll, but not a lot since the ones who wind up on ventilators
usually die.

Some countries, (Iran) and some states are not making any attempt to
slow down the spread.  We will be able to see the relative results.
