It will not be possible to eradicate the virus and therefore accompanying deaths from everyday society until either a vaccine has been widely deployed or natural immunity is reached through a majority of the population getting infected (the latter with massive casualty numbers)
The aim of the government - after u-turning on the 'herd immunity' policy - is to manage the outbreak so the NHS wouldn't be swamped, with the resultant surge of deaths.
We cannot remain in this economy-destroying limbo for more than a few more weeks, certainly not until a vaccine is proven and distributed to the majority, so we'll just have to live with a few hundred deaths each day for months.
