We are currently in the late stages of flu season - if this virus has the same seasonality it could die off or at least slow to the point where it's manageable while they develop a vaccine

It's hitting some warm countries pretty hard right now, so I wouldn't be too hopeful. It could be a lack of built up immunity because it is new to humans, but it could also be one of many viruses that are not all that affected by climate.
But even with the flu, it doesn't disappear in the summer. It just shifts geography. Southern hemisphere countries tend to have spike flu seasons during what is our summer.
