So what I'm getting from reading various stuff is that containment is pointless . We're all probably going to get it at some point. It may end up being very like the flu in that outbreaks are regular occurences. Press have blown the threat very much out of proportion. Am I wrong?

I wouldn't say it's pointless, it'd save quite a few lives overall if they could contain it. That being said, it seems like a lot of places aren't taking that responsibility very seriously.

My understanding was that containment is now not realistic given that it can be transmitted without symptoms (and given how widespread it already is).
