If social distancing and international travel restrictions had begun at the same time as the virus, it would have been possible to curb the number of people initially infected if not kept it out of the U.S. altogether. But we didn't start trying to flatten the curve until the number of cases was doomed to skyrocket.
Don't get me wrong: social distancing now certainly can't hurt. But without a vaccine, a cure, the ability to test everyone efficiently, or a healthy healthcare infrastructure, the virus is running the show -- and we may have simply have to wait until the number of cases burns itself out as quickly as it ignited.
We are now trying to outrun an opponent who was six inches from the finish line when the starting gun went off.

P.S. "Draw(ing) out the time we can get back to normal in this country" just might dovetail perfectly in Trump's re-election plans.
