We can be hopeful anyway. It's hard to know when we might reach some state of "herd immunity", with or without a vaccine. 
There seems to be such a range of degree of illness that it's hard to know how many uncounted infections there are. This makes the death rate hard to interpret, since its percentage is distorted.
