And the second you start to reduce the social distancing measures the risk becomes that we you just end up right back at square one.
This is the risk for sports and large events. You can close down for 30 days, but all it takes is a couple people at a large event in June/July to not realize they've contracted it, and then you're right back where you are right now.

There won't be a cure, likely a vaccine will come. The long term solution is that enough people get the virus and recover that we gain herd immunity - however, there are some scientists who believe this could be yearly - think cold, flu and coronavirus season. We will develop some natural immunity over time, and a vaccine will likely be available in at least a year... but yeah, this is unprecedented and completely new territory.
