With people in every state exposed, and invaders still crossing from Mexico and Canada, we would need a 3-6 month quarantine to be effective. (Virus has an up to 45 day life cycle, and you need at least two cycles to break it.)
Everything else has been security theater and DO SOMETHING! reactions.
Societal and medical triage are what we need, not mass panic and economic destruction. But hey, those serve somebody's plans, right?
Isolate the vulnerable, still. Less vulnerable keep washing your hands good. Maybe keep up the 50% rule in social gatherings for 2 more weeks. "Your theater holds 300? Maybe only sell 150 tickets."
But an economic collapse will kill more people than the worst Wu Flu scenario.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...

Considering that government seems to be the repository of most of our society's fools...
