Yes, we need a vaccine for everything to get back to normal. However, they can also develop a medicine for treatment to reduce symptoms and slow the death rate. Not necessarily a cure but a treatment. We don't have a cure for the common cold or flu, but we have medicines to reduce symptoms and help recovery.

I was diagnosed with Influenza-A back in January, and they gave me a new medicine called XOFLUZA, that just got available in the US in 11/2019. It is just 2 pills you take one time. After I took it, I was feeling 50% better with 24 hours. It we could get something like that in the short-term for COVID-19, that would be great.
