Will it end up becoming a global endemic?

Some experts predicted 5 to 10 weeks, some said by end of May

The US president, Donald J. Trump, has promised to reopen economic activities on Easter Sunday, roughly three weeks from now

Dr. Saju Matthew, a CNN medical analyst, predicted that the Covid-19 infection rate in the US will get worse in next 6 weeks, before peaking and gradually decline

It depends on how effective measures are we taking to prevent its spread. Complete lock down of every country of the world might cause to cease the pandemic only by two weeks. Is it possible to lock down the world completely for only two weeks?

I agree with you Harasit Kumar Paul

I recommend your answer Harasit Kumar Paul

Thanks Peshawa Hama

Chinaza Godswill Awuchi, just to post a propositional anticipation, though so laborious to specify, I think that matters related to this pandemic issue will start to settle partially within three months.

Thanks Amjed Lateef Jabbar for your vital tip

We will surely win the virus, but the question is how fast and with how much human and economic losses. The answer to this important question depends on all of us.

I agree with you, Anton Vrdoljak

Thanks Sairam Challa

I think we will eventually take control of this but i have no answers on the timeframe. This is because measures will differ between countries and contexts, because there is no 'one size fits all' measure/intervention or solution. Every measure will have different implications on different settings. However, somewhere within all of this could lie the the solution, but assigning a timeframe will be difficult. Though i personally hope it is sooner rather than later.

stay safe all!

Thanks Sachin Suknunan. I agree with you

3 to 4 months, from the Chinese experience

China's experience is worth learning from. Thanks Adasa Nkrumah

COVID-19: Nigeria president, Buhari, Approves Recruitment Of 774,000 Nigerians - Politics - Nairaland

Based on current knowledge, the current SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic causing Covid-19 disease and most of the negative effects will be extinguished in most countries over the next few weeks to several months. In some countries where high security restrictions are applied to significantly reduce people-to-people contacts and reduce the risk of subsequent infections, i.e. legally sanctioned forced home quarantine, restrictions on using communication, and the use of different services are a significant restriction the development of an epidemic may appear already in the next few or several days. However, the mutated virus in active and non-active form will continue to exist in the environment for many years and in the future it may return with each subsequent autumn-winter season, a decrease in the resistance of a specific community of people, possible deterioration of sanitation and existence, etc.

Available evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic will peak in most countries in about 4 weeks. However, there may likely be a second wave of the virus, as is currently happening in China, Iran etc., Accordingly, the immediate effect of the virus will likely reduce. However, the long term effect of the virus - economic impact - may stay with us for a long time to come.

Thanks for the tips, Olumide Olaoye

Base on experience here in China where iam currently staying amid COVID-19 pandemic, i think this virus issue will last till SEPTEMBER, 2020.

That's very likely, Hamisu Ismail Ayagi

It may be waived off after 6 months, but complete elimination will be around 1 year

Thanks Nelaturi V Raghavaiah

From the book of things this viral pandemic differ from previous ones in several ways this is worsened with the fact that the world is more connected by travels than previously which lead to rapid global spread. As soon as an effective cure or vaccine is developed the spread can be mitigated otherwise may continue did we achieve hard immunity

Thanks Abubakar Abubakar Panti for your insightful and valued contribution

Available evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic will peak in most countries in about 4 weeks. However, a second wave of the virus is emerging, as is currently happening in China, Iran. Accordingly, the immediate effect of the virus is likely to decrease. However, the long-term impact of the virus - the economic impact - can stay with us for a long time. Data analysis shows that the virus will not leave the human population. As for example, more contagious viruses precursors. The question of isolation arises, but such a measure is not applicable to the Planetary scale.

Thanks Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich for your valued and insightful contribution

The Covid-19 pandemic will last longer than expected

Until beginning of 2021.

Very likely. Thanks Mundher

It will probably last a relatively long time.

Thanks Milad Shirvaliloo for your valued and insightful contribution

It will depend upon the precautionary measures and our immunity to fight COVID 19..

Hopefully soon.

At least one year

Covid-19 is lasting longer than expected

Hopefully. Thanks Omar H. Abdalla for your valued and insightful contribution

This pandemic is going to stay with us for some time now, may be an year. we have to learn to live cautiously with it.

I agree with Neetha Kundoor

It may be mid of the next year.

Very likely. Thanks Md. Abdur Razzak Choudhury

Probably, it won't be contained but instead, it might be considered as influenza.
