No, it's a matter of assessing risk. Why would you risk infecting your entire population with a novel virus that kills on the order of 1% of all infected, when you can do shutdowns and perform slow reopenings to limit spread below 5% of the population until vaccination?
We should be assuming that immunity doens't last long and basing all policies on that assumption until proven otherwise.

I don't think that assumption makes sense at all with modern medical science.
