That would be a perfect plan if we had a confirmed availability date of a suitable vaccine.
1. We don't know how long before a vaccine will be available.
2. We don't know for definite there will ever even be one.
So we could hunker down, close everything whilst the economy crumbles around us, hundreds of thousands of other deaths from other diseases that can't get treatment. The government ends up potless, millions of unemployed etc etc only to emerge on the other side with no vaccine and the start of wave number 4 or 5 or 6.....
People need to start accepting the plain and simple fact we may have to learn to live alongside this virus for many many years to come.
