There's another (rather grim) reason why the virus becomes less of a problem over time. It primarily targets 'vulnerable' people and if we do nothing to protect them there will eventually be no vulnerable people left and the mortality rate drops to almost zero.

That has to be worst possible outcome but it's the ultimate end game if we fail at everything else. We lose 5% of the population and the surviving 95% are safe. Helluva price to pay though.
