> Right now, 0.1% of the US has had Covid-19

By any reasonable estimate, it's over 1%. Highly infected areas like NYC likely exceed 10%

It's not feasable to get herd immunity in a world as open as 3 months ago. The hospitalization rate (and duration) is too high -> it would take longer than the optimistic time for vaccine development.

Electronic contact tracing, heavy testing, traveler quarantines, mass gathering restrictions. It's not going to get contained, but you can have a world where isolated bursts effectively get squashed.
