No, we have not been doing “it”.As Ben Franklin is famous for saying:
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
If EVERYONE took responsibility to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus ... for “only” ONE MONTH by adhering to strict 3-M guidelines (masks, social distancing, hand washing before touching face), would we not beat the pandemic nationally with our borders closed?
Of course, we would need to do a strict “lockdown”, but it would be cost-effective in the long run, like taking 1 step backwards before taking 2 or 3 steps forward.
Unfortunately, there are always a few egocentric individuals who don’t cooperate with reason & civility to mess things up for everyone else!

We've been doing it for 7 months with no effect.

Countries that have (Vietnam, New Zealand, etc) have had much better success in mitigating the spread.
