That's right. The virus will be around until it either runs out of victims or we have an effective vaccine, no matter what we do.
Less people die if it happens over a longer time period with a coping health care system, but how much less is anybody's guess.
Sweden chose not to "destroy the house to kill the fly", so we will know soon enough if we were overreacting or not.
Mother Nature doesn't care either way. Hopefully we will be better prepared the next time...
