- Question
When will coronavirus end?
It is July 28th, 2020. With lockdowns easing all over the world, some say a second wave of coronavirus will come into force by the end of the year. Others that the pandemic will fade. Is this true? How long before we get rid of the coronavirus?
The coronavirus pandemic will end by January 2021 (in 6 months)
Made in mid-2020, this position predicted the coronavirus pandemic would end within six months, by January 2021. It argued masks, hand-washing, and distancing were bringing control, and that vaccines, antibody treatments, and herd immunity would soon end the crisis.
The coronavirus pandemic will end in July 2021 (1 Year)
While a second wave may arrive this winter, with good government and public health and a fast tracked vaccine we are well on the way to getting this under control.
The coronavirus pandemic won't end until at least July 2022 (2 years)
This position predicted that the coronavirus pandemic would not end until at least July 2022. It argued that a safe vaccine would not arrive until mid-to-late 2021, that a second wave was coming, that public noncompliance would prolong it, and that reaching herd immunity would take time.
The coronavirus pandemic may never end
This position holds that the coronavirus pandemic may never truly end. It argues vaccines will not fully eradicate the virus, that it could persist through reinfection, and that — like flu, HIV and other viruses humanity never eliminated — it may simply become a permanent presence.
