The rapid spread of coronavirus has frightened all the countries of the world. All countries have been forced to observe a lockdown to prevent the spread of this deadly virus. Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi further extended the lockdown until May 3, owing to the rapid spread and the need to control transmission from one person to the other. People are locked down in their homes, which is affecting their mental health. Apart from fitness, 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 people that when will everything become normal? Where and when will the coronavirus pandemic stop?

Worldwide Efforts
Many countries are trying to overcome coronavirus infection through a lockdown and social distancing. A few days ago, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he was confident that his country would overcome the coronavirus in 12 weeks. At the same time, US President Donald Trump said that everything would be reasonable in America soon. However, health experts say that the world will not be able to get rid of the coronavirus so more quickly. World Health Organization Special Ambassador Dr David Nabarro has also warned that the coronavirus will continue to chase humanity for a long time until people can protect themselves from the vaccine, the coronavirus outbreak will continue.
Erik Figel Ding, a global health economist at Harvard Chain School of Public Health, told CNBC, "We may have to be in lockdown for a month or two right now. It is certain that coronavirus is not going to disappear in the next three weeks, whether we try to compare with Wuhan, but it is not possible. We do not have just one centre of coronavirus like Wuhan in China. 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 can see a change in the situation."
COVID-19 Is Here To Say - Experts
"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 epidemiologist, said in an interview to a news portal. "I do not think there is any such possibility." Dr Fauchi also noted that it is challenging to eliminate coronavirus from roots. It may take the form of a seasonal disease.
Dr Siman Clarke, Professor of Cellular Microbiology at the University of Reading expressed to one of the websites that it is impossible to give a fixed date or time of the COVID-19 to end. The truth is that coronavirus has spread and now it is going to stay with us forever.
