Epidemics typically fizzle out with warm weather, and through "herd immunity."
The real purpose of precautions is to change the shape of the epidemic curve from a steep up and down to a slower, gradual up and down. That helps with demands on medical care, but does not reduce exposure, or the numbers of people exposed. Viral epidemics can not be stopped, just slowed. Flattening the curve is the purpose of public health.
Thus far, the Covid-19 has not been very dangerous compared with the ordinary flu for those under 70. We'll know in the next two or three weeks as the curve peaks, and begins to decline in the US.
