The high speed of Corona virus has frightened all the countries of the world. All countries have been forced to lockdown to prevent corona virus infection. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended the lockdown till May 3 amid growing cases of corona infection in the country. People have been imprisoned in homes due to the lockdown, which is affecting their mental health. Apart from health, the lockdown has also created a crisis on people's livelihood. In such a situation, the question has started to arise in the minds of all the people, when will everything be normal? Where will the corona virus epidemic stop?
Many countries are trying to overcome the corona virus infection through lockdown and social distancing. A few days ago, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he was confident that his country would overcome the corona virus in 12 weeks. At the same time, US President Donald Trump said that everything will be normal in America soon. However, health experts say that the world will not be able to get rid of the corona virus challenge so soon.
World Health Organization Special Ambassador David Nabarro has also warned that the corona virus will continue to chase mankind for a long time. Until people are able to protect themselves from the vaccine, the corona virus outbreak will continue.
Erik Figel Ding, a global health economist at Harvard Chain School of Public Health, told CNBC, "We might have to be in lockdown for a month or two right now." It is certain that the corona virus is not going to disappear in the next three weeks, whatever we try to compare with Wuhan, but it is not possible. We do not have just one hub of the corona virus like Wuhan… We cannot bring all doctors and nurses from the rest of the country to one place as China did. So we will take at least two months or more. If the vaccine comes before 12 months, then we will start protecting all people from the vaccine as soon as possible.
"We cannot say that the epidemic is going to end in a week or two," Dr. Anthony Fauchi, a member of the American Corona Virus Taskforce and an epidemiologist, said in an interview. I do not think there is any such possibility. Dr. Fauchi also said that it is difficult to eliminate the corona virus from the root, it may take the form of seasonal disease.
Dr. Siman Clarke, Professor of Cellular Microbiology at the University of Reading, said in an interaction with The Independent that it is impossible to give the date of the endgame of the corona virus. He said, if someone is telling you the date of the end of the corona virus, then it means that they are making a prediction by seeing the crystal ball. The truth is that the corona virus has spread and now it is going to stay with us forever.
Dr. Clarke said that the epidemic of corona virus is very challenging because people can get infection without visible symptoms in their body and they can spread the infection to other people as well.
Michael Head, researcher at Global Health at Southampton University, says that it is difficult to make any assumptions about the corona virus. This is a completely new virus and has taken the form of epidemic worldwide. He said that in the coming few months, cases of corona virus infection may decline. However, as soon as winter comes, the corona virus cases can increase again because at that time the flu will also knock.
When will the vaccine be ready?
Health experts say that the Corona virus will be prevented only after the vaccine is created. However, no vaccine has yet been made for the corona virus. According to Professor Neil Farguson of Imperial College London, steps such as social distancing are very important for the slow pace of infection. Until the vaccine arrives, the need for large-scale social distancing will remain. It has been estimated in a college report that it may take about 18 months to become a corona virus vaccine. At the same time, researchers at Oxford University have expressed hope that the vaccine can come within six months.
