There is a suggestion neither will happen (at least, usefully):

immunity to covid 19 could be lost in months uk study suggests

But, so what - it'll be just like flu or a cold. Except that dying may not be the biggest problem:

as covid 19 persists around the world death is not the only outcome to fear

In a war, the most effective weapon is not the one that kills your opponents but the one that maims them and ties up your opponents resources.

But we are dealing with actual people, many of whom are bloody-minded just for the sake of it, and some just plain bonkers. It would take something like a complete lockdown to impress on them that this isn't a game. So the practical answer would probably be 'yes'.

Yea, the UK tied that.  People went, "Meh" and ignored it.  So they increased the restrictions like saying, "No we are serious!" and people went "Meh", and trotted off to the beach in their 1000s.  So the government went, right then, stay in you fucking homes and the police can enforce it!

Then people went.. "Why didn't you do this earlier?"

You can't fix stupid.

They say that you shouldn't leave the house if you wanna be safe. But statically, I am more likely to do myself a mischief at home. Especially when ladders are involved. And tree pruners.

Yeah stay at home, very good, but most people don't get the pay if they stay at home. Private businesses go bankrupt without customers, so except for the usual public tit suckers that live in a parallel reality, that isn't a viable solution.
