The problem, in a nutshell, is that those in power don't want the virus to go away. They want to continue to use it to beat the populace over the head with mandates, idiotic and unproven rules and restrictions and everything else so that they can consolidate power and shape society the way they wish. If they started treating the virus and got rid of it, they would have to go back to their corner and let us live our lives as normal, the absolute last thing they want.
