re "I am picturing the US trying to implement such a rapid and large quarantine.. Not seeing it possible"

Team USA has long-standing contingency plans for stuff like this. The flight will terminate in California where temporary living quarters are being set up for the evacuees...

Flight With U.S. Citizens Arriving From Wuhan, China Headed For Ontario Airport
losangeles.cbslocal.com

ONT was designated by the federal government as an official repatriation center for the West Coast about a decade ago, and county departments have participated in a number of preparedness exercises with state and federal agencies over the years, the county said.

The plane will first arrive in Alaska, where passengers will be screened by personnel from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before continuing to the continental United States, possibly landing at ONT.

The county said any passenger exhibiting symptoms of an illness would not be allowed to enter the continental United States. Those who arrive would go through another round of screening by CDC personnel and would be monitored for up to two weeks.

The county said a number of departments were working together to establish a reception area and temporary living quarters in a space at ONT far removed from the passenger terminals and other public areas. Ontario police and other public safety personnel were said to be prepared to ensure no unauthorized persons entered or exited the area.

It seems to me the Chinese officials really f'ed up,

They locked down after half of the population had already fled.

According to them that is over 5 million on the road.

Rapid and large? or too late and starting a pandemic?

How about is it a successful strategy?

or a typical government response PRETENDING "It's For The Children"

am reasonably certain that when I get on the street again tomorrow (Thursday) I should be able to avoid infection just so, and by washing hands w/ wet wipe at strategic moments
