Constant vigilance and restrictions work if a vaccine's coming, it will slow down the process if we are waiting until "enough people have achieve immunity by getting sick". Overall, I agree with you though, partly because I'm moderately optimistic about the prospect of finding a vaccine. Moreover, thinking about this a little more, I think one other thing we are waiting for is effective protocols to minimize the mortality rate (not sure if I'm using that term right). I'm not necessarily talking about a cure, but also things like when to use a ventilator vs not use a ventilator, etc. I think we're still in the learning phase on that, and even if the end solution is letting the disease run through the population, I'd be more comfortable if the patient care science of covid patients was further along before we ease restrictions.
