It is a very interesting debate.
On one hand, there is this crazy race, in which biotechnology companies around the world are throwing everything on the table to find a treatment/vaccine. With the FDA sometimes expediting processes that, under normal circumstances, would take considerably more time to accomplish.
And then we have got this almost delusional idea that many western countries seem to push into their citizens: We will win the war against the virus. No, we won't. For decades we have been oblivious to the true reality of humans. Super advanced society, too busy traveling, staring at LED screens, and being warm and comfortable after pressing a switch at home. The virus will keep killing and, unfortunately, the weakest will suffer the most part.
At some point I want to believe that governments will say "kids, here's the deal: life sucks, nature is a b***". The same way we take cancer deaths, tobacco deaths, road accident deaths, diabetes deaths, cardiovascular deaths, etc. as normal.
Take a combination of Swedish+S.Korean approach, and let life continue.
