Current Events > Do you think the pandemic will ever end?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And I dont just mean America, I mean throughout the world.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I thought the whole thing would be done with July of this year.

Some experts estimated it could last up to a decade. It's hard to say really.

In about 3-5 years, I'd say. For America it'll be longer. But it is what it is.

So what happens then? Do we just start locked down for a decade? Is it essentially I lose the rest of my 20s-30s?

It will never end. Everyone gave in. We lost.

End? Yes.
Soon? No.

When it wipes out the human race.

I mean even the black plague outbreak came to an end. I think it took like 3 to 4 years though. Even if people keep getting reinfected your body will only get smarter and stronger.

I say by October of 2021 that cases will begin to lower with March of 2022 cases will be even lower.

Plus there are also a lot of asymptomatic people who are getting the virus without feeling sick or anything.

Eventually, yes. There's no way a problem like this goes on forever. The virus evolves, but we adapt. We'll figure something out for the long-term, even if the vaccine doesn't wipe it out.

This isn't the first pandemic we've ever had. They don't last forever

Nope. Not for the next few years, at least.

Recovery has been, and will continue to be delayed thanks to Trump supporters.

Fucking so many dumbass Americans couldn't help but go out. I've lost so much respect for so many of my friends and acquaintances lol

Depends. It can end in the summer time if about 80% of the population take the vaccines

You're kidding yourself if you think it's just them. I'm one of 2 people out of all my friends who is actively social distancing and not leaving the house superfluously. Young people are a huge problem in this respect

Anti maskers and lock down protestors have overwhelmingly been Trump supporters

yea of course, and they're super spreaders. but people in the 20 to 30 range just don't give a shit at all

According to Dr. Fauci, it will take years for it to end, but when asked when we can start seeing life getting back to a degree of normality he said:

Its going to depend on our success in vaccinating what I would say is an overwhelming majority of the population, between 70 to 85 percent. If we can do that, by mid to end of the summer, I think as we get into fall, October, November, times like that, I think we will be very close to a degree of normality.

Worry not, my friends, because, and I quote:

So I think what we need to get people to understand is that help is on the way, theres light at the end of the tunnel, and just hang in there a bit more and were going to be OK.
