How do pandemics end?

[Sandy Mackem]

This question is a bit open ended to say the least

Not really because there has been pandemics before and probably will happen again so they have to end at some point.

At the rate this useless government are handling this, we'll have to go in and out of lockdown for life..

I suppose so but how this will all end is possibly with a vaccine.

It's going to be a while before this pandemic ends so buckle up.

How long do you think a while will be?

No vaccine just promises with no assurances that our immune system will cope long term and now it's mutating so expect it to be still here in 5 years time. It might not be as virulent but it will be still here. So the answer is how long is a piece of string but realistically I don't think we will really get to grips with it for at least 5 years.

We won't have an economy left and everyone will be scared to touch each other and end up having mental problems

I think I am starting to agree now because herd immunity in the case of coronavirus might not work and is a little dangerous to carry out.

It is a new illness though.

Protect the old and vulnerable, allow 60% of the population to get it.
Give people a vaccine if they so choose, I can't see why herd immunity won't work.

It's coronavirus, the same family as the flu.
Just a bad mutation ..... maybe?
