I'm responding to the "not to play" in your comment, not the eradicate.
Just because we didn't eradicate human feeding mosquitoes doesn't mean it wasn't hugely worthwhile to play the game of controlling them.

Coronaviruses are definitely not in that category.
If/when we have another, more damaging pandemic, I expect the lesson about how powerful a tool social distancing is to sink in more widely (we are somewhat accidentally having a mild flu season so far; just changing attitudes about what is appropriate when symptomatic would be a benefit, you don't need to do big lockdowns to benefit).
