There's no actual indication that already having it gives one immunity.  That does not happen to any significant extent for that other coronavirus caused disease, the common cold.

The myriad viruses that cause the Common Cold are unstable, so vaccination is clearly impossible. This virus seems to follow a different, more stable paradigm. Note: if immunity from having the disease is nonexistent, then a successful vaccine seems unlikely.

I am also assuming that if one of the common cold viruses were more deadly, it wouldn't be ignored and treated as the common cold.

Since it the COVID-19 virus also called SARS-2, one might assume that it would follow a similar path as SARS. It seems SARS-2 is far more contagious, but immunity might be possible for it to be as well-controlled, as SARS was, and in China the new virus seems well-controlled already.
