I have discussed this in another post and with a few friends contributing to my thinking on the matter. The comments you make are pretty much spot-on.

We have no guarantee for a vaccine. The pressure to relax restrictions will increase over time, and as the curve is flattened, public authorities will comply to the will of the public.

And then there will be a spike, and the restrictions on movement will be imposed again.

It's going to be a bouncing ball between restrictions, relaxing, infection, restrictions etc, until we have a vaccine.

I have doubts whether herd immunity will be a solution. I am not entirely convinced by this argument, but I respect the points they're making.
