What is the ENDGAME here?

Sorry if this has been discussed I missed it.
What is the endgame? Everyone just stay home until a cure is found?
What if there is no cure?
I mean longterm I know they're trying to stop the spread because of lack of hospital beds, so is the endgame a bunch of people get it now, and then a bunch later, so as to stagger out the sickness so eventually everyone gets it, just not at once?
I'm confused how long this lockdown quarantine is supposed to last, and what is next?

If only the strong survives, that means nature is performing an extreme natural selection event, and this is evolution of Humans. Its evolving!

They wait for a vaccine and then it gets lumped in with the flu, seasonal illness, equilibrium, forgotten by next year

end game : herd immunity. Basically we try and avoid clogging up the health system by getting it all at once, so the people who are at risk of complications can get the care they need if they can't avoid getting it at all.
It's now endemic to several reasons so I do suspect that they will come out with a vaccination that certain populations may choose to get yearly like a flu shot.

Thanks everyone THAT MAKES SENSE ALL
But think about this. If this amount of panic, and hoarding and chaos is over an illness with a 2-5% death rate, just imagine when the virus evolves into Covid-20 and it's a 15% death rate or higher, or some other super virus.
Imagine... These preppers are starting to seem not too crazy now.
I mean seriously .. This is proof how fragile society and humanity can be.

There's nothing wrong with self sufficiency and always good to be prepared.
But don't kid yourself, most preppers are merely LARPing.

There's a good percentage of people who prep who aren't all crazy about it. Just having a few weeks of food water and supplies ... That is totally reasonable.

Stocking up in advance, so you are prepared when this sort of thing happens is definitely not crazy.

That just seems traditional. Most people used to only go to the store once a week at most, maybe every few weeks, so you would naturally have that.
Water is a bit overrated, especially as it is fairly easy to purify.
But you forgot to mention ammo. Most preppers I know always want as much ammo as they can get their hands on.

Exactly.
Imagine if an even newer virus escaped, all at the same time that corona is devastating, but the new virus us more deadly right at the same time of some nation launching a nuke, and then the nukes start flying.
I need to get some anti radiation iodine pills, but that won't stop the hoardes.
It'd be all hell loose.
