There is no such thing as herd immunity for any other coronavirus known to infect humans. If anything it might be a temporary lull in transmission in a population but could simply mean ubiquitous and likely seasonally predominant transmission - just like the common cold.
It’s also possible that as we develop some form of immune memory re-infection could be a much less severe infection. But who the hell knows?
There is research out there that suggests that the bad 1889-1890 flu pandemic was actually caused by HCoV-OC43, one of the current common cold viruses, as that's when they think it first crossed over into humans.

Really? That’s pretty interesting.
I was actually just spit balling the other day about whether this is what it looked like when the other 4 coronaviridae crossed over.
Thanks for that info
