When will the epidemic end and resume the previous life?

The epidemic will definitely pass and people will return to their previous lives, but it is not clear how long it will take. It may be three or five years, it may be 8- 10 years, and it may go up in 20 years if it is pessimistic.

The reason why the epidemic will definitely pass:

(1) There have been many serious epidemics in history, and no extinct human beings have been seen. Before 2020, they lived a relatively free life.

(2) After the popularization of the vaccine, the serious illness rate and mortality rate are greatly reduced, and the sequelae are not so scary.

(3) If the epidemic lasts long enough, specific drugs will be developed sooner or later. Once the specific drugs appear, COVID-19 will be downgraded to the common flu.

(4) COVID-19 variation is limited, so it can't go on indefinitely.

(5) If COVID-19 can mutate indefinitely and produce a virus with high infection rate and high mortality rate, it will be easier. Countries all over the world will definitely implement the strictest epidemic prevention measures and completely suffocate COVID-19.

In a word, the epidemic will definitely pass, and we can go back to our previous lives, but we are in the fog of history and don't know whether this is the eve of dawn or the beginning of a long night.
