I don't think most people are willing to sacrifice basically all of their free time and stay locked in their homes until a vaccine is ready

That's not what's required.

Once, Covid is eradicated within an area, it must be brought in from outside that area.

The disease's pathology tells one how long a lockdown is required to eradicate Covid. As I mentioned it can live on surfaces for 29 days. Its incubation period can be 14 to 21 days. So, 29 + 21 = 50 days or 7 weeks of lockdown is all that's required. After that, people within the area can live life as before. Those that want to enter the area must first undergo a 14 day quarantine with tests given to make sure the person remains Covid free within the quarantine period.

How did it work in New Zealand? There are There are 4 phases. Phase 4 is the most restrictive and Phase 1 the least.

The went into a strict lockdown (Phase 4) on March 26th. It remained on a strict lockdown until April 28th. That's 33 days. It went into a Level 3 phase, lasted until May 14th. That's 17 days. It went into Level 2 phase until June 8th (25 days). Level 1 is essentially no restrictions. That's a total of 75 days. The last 25 days at Level 2 that essentially limits gatherings to 100 or less.

for the sake of the 5% or less who have compromised immune systems.

A lot more are at risk. Covid overwhelms medical and hospital facilities. North Dakota and Montana currently have no available ICU units. This affects those who might suffer heart attacks, strokes, etc. It also affects the ability to save somebody injured in an automobile crash. The number of daily Covid cases is expected to double within a month.
