I have read a few things now where scientists have said that most likely over the next couple of years this virus will become just another virus that causes sniffles and we Lysol away like the other Corona viruses we deal with every day.

NOt necessarily that, but think of a bell curve. The area under the curve is the infections, the area above teh curve is the people immune. As one increases, the other has to decrease.
That leads to herd immunity which is what a vaccine does as well. But the RO drops as more people recover form infections (if they can't be reinfected) as they can't pass it on so the chain of transmission stops.
