The main benefit in delaying its spread through lockdowns until we achieve herd immunity through a vaccine is so the NHS can cope, and can continue to process non-Covid-related patients. Long-term NHS capacity is pretty fixed due to the training involved in healthcare.

Yes, and the longer the virus is out there, the more it mutates as well.
