When do you think covid-19 will end?

Not soon enough is the right answer

The end of it can’t come quick enough. I’m 1000% done with it.

Mid 2022

give it 3 years until stuff really feels normal

I predict that it's not going to just end. I think that it's going to be like influenza and stay for a while but I do believe that we'll get it more under control and that vaccinations will be as accessible as flu shots. Maybe a cure would happen soon, but we're not technically there yet.

It's a hypothesis I heard indeed. Covid-19 might over time evolve into less and less dangerous strains which ultimately won't differ from a common cold or flu.

So I say we get it controlled by probably late 2022, early 2023

this I don't think that it might not be possible to eliminate it completely since it seems to be very capable of mutating (maybe into an even more dangerous strain...)

We'll able to control it through vaccinations, but not eliminate it completely. I do hope the pandemic will be over next year though.

Viruses tend to evolve in a less lethal form of themselves. It's natural selection. A virus needs a living host to keep replicating. A highly lethal virus has a higher chance of disappearance than a mild one. So it's not far fetched to imagine covid-19 could ultimately turn into a common cold. There are already 4 known human coronaviruses that are responsible of 15% to 30% of common colds in the world. Covid-19 might just become the 5th. It's a possibility.

never

it may take years until the whole world gains herd immunity but with all the vaccinations coming out, we could have it under control pretty quickly. as of right now, covid cases are already trending down a bit.

when people under 70 grow a spine

Sorry to say, but it's either this year or many2 years to come
