So as many people as possible should get it.Why would it go away? Our actions are not doing anything to eradicate the virus? By keeping everyone at home all we are doing is dragging out the pain by delaying herd immunity which is what we need to fight this until a vaccine can be created, IF it can be created.
Because then a vaccine will be very helpful!
How long do we keep society largely shut down? Give me a date, please.
That won't happen. See Bible prophecy. For example, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are linked. For example:
Revelation 6:5-8
When he opened the third seal,+ I heard the third living creature+ say: “Come!” And I saw, and look! a. black horse, and the one seated on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 I heard what sounded like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: “A quart* of wheat for a de·narʹi·us*+ and three quarts of barley for a de·narʹi·us; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”+
7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature+ say: “Come!” 8 And I saw, and look! a pale horse, and the one seated on it had the name Death. And the Grave* was closely following him. And authority was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a long sword and with food shortage+ and with deadly plague and by the wild beasts of the earth.+
Note that it is not that the world will run out of food but rather that many will not be able to afford to buy the food. I never realized the link between deadly plague and food shortage until now!
Satan, who is the ruler of this world, likes the fact that we need to choose between increased income and increased deaths!
