At what point do we admit the plan is for most of us to get the Coronavirus because there is no other possible outcome anyway?

Disease will prolly be gone before vaccine is available.

This is true. I would think containment strategies would, at the very least, also work to slow it down. So I don't know why we'd give up on the possibly better outcome yet. However, even slowing it down keeps our hospitals at their maximum ability to keep patients alive.

The plan is to slow it down as much as possible so health services can keep pace

Then all you have left is: "I believe the plan is to prevent panic and delay the spread of the virus", which I think is about the best we are going to do. Pretty good plan!

Corona infections decline in heat. We're all relying on global warming.

Flu season also taxes our hospital capacity close to max. So even if the heat doesn't kill Corona, if we can delay mass infection until after flu season that will free up hospital resources to deal with the sick

If you keep the reproduction factor, R0, low, then it can delay things until a vaccine is ready. If the infectious period is a week, and R0=1.2, then it will take over a year to infect 1% of the population. At R0=1.3, it will take 36 weeks. At 1.4, 28 weeks, and at 1.5, 23 weeks.

I made a small error, so I'll revise the numbers. Assuming 200 cases today, and infectious period of one week. Expected time until 1% of US population infected: (R0, # of weeks) 2.0, 13.0 1.9, 14.3 1.8, 15.9 1.7, 18.0 1.6, 20.7 1.5, 24.6 1.4, 30.6 1.3, 40.6 1.2, 61.0 1.1, 125.0
