Predict the Covid-19 outcome - then if you're right you may get famous!

I agree with the OP.

As quickly as this thing exploded this past week it will die out quickly.

Will the public take notice about how silly they overreacted? Doubtful.

Tuesday, May 5 Cinco de Mayo 2020

Wednesday, May 6 Corona virus will peak

Thursday, May 7 outbreak over

Becomes endemic. Flares up in future years.

Ya i think it will be endemic too. From now on we'll have a flu, cold, and covid-19 season annually and that's really sad

But perhaps the “overreaction” is what will cause it to die out quickly. How will we know?

Which means trouble for all the helpful grandparents. What will millenials do when free babysitting and kid transport goes away?

With track being cancelled, the Brojos should do an official coronavirus prediction contest.

The experts are having us limit exposure in order to flatten the curve. So if it drops off quickly, it would have been more quickly because the curve would have been steeper.

This is correct. They won’t acknowledge this part.

Only the final result is tangibly measured bro, the collective changes in our country’s citizens’ behavior to thwart this outbreak will never factor into their uninformed rationale of why Covid 19 eventually peters our.

I don’t know what will happen OP but here is some information on the covid-19 pandemic from non-morons to base your predictions on.

Just as an additional data point, most experts agree the US response has been much more similar to Italy’s response than it is to South Korea’s response.

Many deaths, opportunity opens up because of all the job openings and wages increase because workers can dictate wages.

Programs for the elderly will flourish because most of them will be dead so no medicaid, social security checks, etc

My God people don't understand how viruses work. We will come up with a vaccine a year to two years from now and the virus will then be eradicated. It blows my mind how many people here think the Flu is a single virus. There are hundreds of viruses that cause sickness. If there was a single Flu virus everyone could get vaccinated and the Flu would be eradicated. But there are constantly new strains and experts due their best to predict which known strains will be potent each year.

Covid 19 will eventually be eradicated either by everyone getting it and developing immunity or by a vaccine. People will get tired of this BS in a couple of weeks and accept that this is just another virus. No worse than many others we have lived through and things will go back to normal. If they had never given this a scary name and started fear mongering no would have known this was any different than any other flu season.

I'll go first:

The number of reported cases will reach 1 million worldwide by May 1 then abruptly stop. By May 15 it will be all over in the Northern Hemisphere. There will be minimal cases in the southern hemisphere, relative to the northern hemisphere. The virus will go away just like it started.

The lesson learned: Think practically and act practically with enthusiasm and we can overcome anything and make the world a really nice place to be in.

1 million by April 1st

After that hopefully, the curve bends, but even in the best case scenario this is going to get into crowded 3rd world countries and war-torn areas and sustain for some period.

OP is probably correct. Notice there are ZERO issues in the southern Hemisphere right now where it is warm. This thing is already blown over in China and SK about as fast as it started. By July it will be a memory/meme.

I consider Australia Southern Hemisphere. They have a problem... but hey..

We get rid of it by exercising extreme hygienic practices for the indefinite future.

The world's potable water goes down the drain with all the hand washing.

We become susceptible to every virus and bad bug that comes along because of our lowered natural resistance.

AI hybrid humans, impervious to disease and pollution begin replacing flesh and blood people.

False assumption.

You are ignoring the fact the most of the travel in the world takes place in the northern hemisphere.

You dont undersrand that virus mutate and turn into several strains.

A virus can only be killed if the immune system become too strong for it in everybody. With the worldwide spread it is unlikely now to be removed for good. He could turn like the flu and come again

Not only will it die out quickly but with a whimper. By March 21 it will no longer be the leading news item and off the front page. By April 1st it will be yesterdays news and many people will struggle to remember what they did during March 2020.
