For the people in this community that understand spanish, I wanted to share this video I created yesterday comparing the current situation with the different crisis we had in the last 100 years.

Do you think it will be uglier than the others?
 
All feedback is welcome to keep improving!:)

I've created the poll, somehow it has been put in off-topic lol
Just go there :)

Most people were very optimistic though. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235238.0

The madness will probably stop in q2/3 (in three months). I cna imagine everything reopening then if it doesn't get fixed.

Hopefully the gov will just decide its more worthwhile to infect everyone determined healthy for 2 or 3 weeks and wait for them to recover and have enforced mass immunity of we can't get a vaccine fast enough...

Coronavirus is not one of the scariest viruses that were previously. We see that the percentage of deaths from it is not very large. In the situation with coronavirus, the political hype and the active use of the global Internet by the population played a greater role. In the Middle Ages, the plague epidemic raged for 12 years, the countries of Europe then almost died out. Most likely, the coronavirus will be defeated by the fall, and under favorable conditions, earlier.
 At the same time, governments also need to think about how to neutralize the negative consequences of the spread of coronavirus and its impact on the economy of each state; we cannot avoid a very severe global economic crisis.

I haven't seen the video, but the last pandemic we have is the "Spanish" flu in 1918 that killed a lot of people back then. I don't think it will be uglier though, we have vastly improved since the last great pandemic.

So I'm hoping that in the next 3-6 months, a vaccine can be discovered to stop this madness. As of right now, self quarantine is not enough, the number of infected are growing.

A good visual, trajectory of every country here: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/infection-trajectory-flattening-the-covid19-curve/

I believe it will take quite long because the problem is not fixable at all.

The problem was always there before corona and it happened to come out on surface because of it. Printing more money and delaying the inevitable is not a solution neither. I guess we'll soon find out.

I think we are going to hear a good news on the covid-19 faster than we expect. Countries have gone into research on it and to my knowledge, it is not a terminal disease or a death sentence if contacted. Therefore, lives are preserved despite the rate of spread. It won't take longer, we have to secure ourselves for the meantime.

the future nobody knows...
we will not know exactly when the crisis caused by the corona virus will be finished, countries other than China, there are still many who have just done a "Lockdown. I suspect this crisis will end in the next 3 to 4 months.

This is entirely new kind of pandemic so comparing it with others won't help us to determine how long it will last long.And probably this could be the shortest compared to others because we had developed a lot compared to last 100 years pandemic which is swine flu in health care so vaccine will be available before mass extinction of people.

Scary proposition given the long recovery timelines and hospitalization needs.

If this Oxford study is correct, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235293.msg54093740#msg54093740) we have basically already taken that route since most people (at least in high density areas) would have been infected by now. If it's not correct, then the herd immunity approach is dangerous because hospitals will become overwhelmed.

Unfortunately, nobody doesn't have cristal ball to predict how situation will develope. So far it seems that we don't see the end of this health crisis yet and economy crisis is yet to come. However, I hope it will not be so bad as some say but if the world doesn't go back to normal within next month or two consequences will be long term and hard to fight. Although I'm usualy an optimist in this situation it's hard to keep positive attitude.

In fact, it is difficult to say how the virus actually behaves.
For example, a Spanish woman, a pandemic of the beginning of the last century, had 3 waves.
Moreover, the last two were significantly stronger than the first wave. Given the speed with which the coronovirus mutates, it is difficult to even imagine how the situation will develop.

With the current technology and with the hardwork and perseverance of many researchers and doctors, we will hopefully soon hear good news about a vaccine or medicine to treat this coronavirus. I think it will not be worse and uglier (which I really hope) than any pandemic happened during 1918 which is Spanish flu where it leave many people dead. Let's all hope and pray for this pandemic to stop.

I don't know Spanish, unfortunately, but this topic is very hot today. Maybe it isn't correct to compare upcoming crisis with already experienced ones. Some experts are sure that it will be like 2008 recession, I mean 2020 crisis will last more than a couple of months.

there are still too many unknowns at this point. it takes a few weeks to see real results from lockdowns and self quarantines. testing is also primarily only being done on symptomatic cases so we still know very little about how far this thing has spread, and how infectious it really is. those things obviously have a lot of bearing on the future economic costs of the pandemic.

i found this post illuminating---also a bit depressing, since it casts doubt on these "back to normal by april" theories:

I am on the belief that this is not going to be as bad and long-lasting as those other crises in the past years and decades. We are certainly more advanced now. I am sure the vaccine is coming, and this calamity we are facing right now will significantly die down within the second quarter of this year. 

I guess the primary reason why the virus is spreading very fast is that people are hard-headed. People lack the urgency. People underestimated this virus early on. We are now caught in the middle of this by surprise and finally begun to realize how grave this goes only when the situation is already growing worse.

Difficult to determine, the most affected district in China is open again. Now, the world is waiting for them to come and give the vaccine, antidote and any help that will solve this crisis quickly.

The death toll and confirmed cases are increasing from time to time. This brings fear, yes there were other plagues that affected more than this pandemic in the history but it's not the matter. We should apply being optimistic at these times that it will be solved asap just like what we're speculating with the bitcoin markets.

Not sure how many people are going to trust a vaccine imported from China. Other drugs are different because you can do chemical tests to determine what they contain but I think vaccines are a little different. There's still a chance also that Europe will come up with some sort of vaccine before the end of this... (I'm not versed in licensing laws they may have to trial it in every customs area).


I agree with the first half of that definitely. Gone are the days where if one member of the family got sick the rest of the family got sick too.
I have travelled from one densely populated area to another over the past week (I S.I.d in the first place for about 2 weeks before moving as to not transport the virus and generally live a life social distancing anyway). But both places seemed to be taking the virus pretty seriously and both were fairly empty. Even police have moved away from the area too in order to assist with other tasks.

Valid points.

But some countries that are near to China might not think twice in these times. They'll desperately want to get rid of it and if it's the actual vaccine that helped them to overcome the virus, they might give it a try.

I've heard about Russia and Australia too experimenting for the possible vaccine.

By Autumn imo when it comes to the health crisis while the economic impact will be long lasting

every country is looking for vaccine because they all know that they can also be infected not only those big country. The problem about the vacine is it takes a year before they can realease it to the public many testing needed so it will not harm people when its ready and they need to check side effect if they make one.

3-6 months is an impossible time frame for creating such vaccine.The process takes more than one year.
Self quarantine IS enough,if all the people are disciplined and are actually abiding by the rules of the quarantine,which isn't the case in some countries.The "shit will hit the fan" in the USA and UK soon,which will drive a huge global recession.Comparing this pandemic with the "Spanish flu" is completely wrong.Back in 1919,the world was recovering from WW1,the countries weren't prepared for a pandemic and the hygiene of the population was horrible.

I guess there are more than a handful of countries trying to discover a vaccine or a drug to fight this virus. Japan, Germany, USA, Singapore, and many others are also doing their part in experimenting a new vaccine. This is a race against time. Every single day that passes by without a vaccine means lost lives.

In terms of trust in China, for sure, it is not that easy. And now it is also discovered that a lot of COVID-19 test kits bought from China are actually not working. Spain, Czech Republic, and perhaps a country or two more are reporting failures of COVID-19 test kits coming from China.


If only all the people in the world were like that from the very day the virus started creeping, we wouldn't have reached this worse stage. However, reports from all over the world of people not following lockdown guidelines, social distancing and other health protocols were pretty much common earlier. Events were not cancelled or postponed; people go to parties, sports events, and other gatherings.

As a matter of fact, when some Chinese experts moved to Italy to provide medical assistance after they successfully reduced COVID-19 to a significant extent in their own country, they were shocked at how the people are still moving around and meeting others as if everything's normal.

While on the other hand, US already developed one. I just don't know when they will release it on the public. But one thing is for sure, they are now halfway on eradicating this virus. What they need to do is to keep some time to slow the spread rate of virus while the vaccine undergo the right process :).

Going back to the question, I think and hope that Covid 19 will end for the next 1 to 2 months if not worldwide then at least here in our country first.

Well, if they push through clinical trials and find enough willing volunteers, it's possible to cut that time down. There's a lot of political will behind this kind of thing.

Self quarantine will be enough though, I agree, but there will be (and fair enough) resistance as to people's liberties.

The last flu pandemic in the 1950s led to the economy taking a sharp hit -- but the recovery was just as drastic. I am reminded though that this pandemic isn't the sole reason for this current downturn!

I don't think anyone knows how long the corona virus crisis will end. But the corona virus is not the worst according to results the analysis
that I did, there is still worse is TB (Tuberculosis) where the number of victims who died more. Although the corona virus is not the worst,
we should not underestimate this virus, because as long as no vaccine has been found that can cure it. Spread will continue. I hope the
vaccine can be found soon, so the crisis can end soon.

Since the video is in Spanish I cannot comment on it, and it is also unclear exactly what you are referring to when you say crisis., Do you think only on virus or the economic aspect of the crisis? One thing is causally consequently related to another, but the duration of the pandemic and the economic crisis after that is something else entirely. Considering that China has been fighting COVID-19 for almost 4 months with extreme measures and it is still not over, just imagine how long it will take Europe and the USA to put the virus under control? Ignoring the problem from the very beginning (and some do even today) will definitely result in one of the worst health and economic crises in the last 100 years. Recovery will be long and difficult, especially as a recession ensues, resulting in high job losses, reduced purchasing power and very likely a shortage of food due to reduced production.

---

I see that the vast majority of UK people still share the view of their prime minister and government that it is better to let people get infected and gain immunity, but if we look at the example of Italy where mortality is more than 8%, the UK would with even less hospital capacity with this way of defense against the virus had several million casualties.

Unfortunately for the residents of the UK, as well as those in the USA, all that is currently happening in Italy, Spain and other European countries will happen to them, but given the measures they do not take, the consequences are likely to be even more drastic.

i agree on that because based on my research too there are previous more deadly virus and disease that have also gone pandemic before but all of them luckily have been sorted out so much more of this covid when its only more of a flu like virus  ? cure for this shouldnt be hard at all to create and i heard there are now meds available that other countries give but not sure if there are vaccines  .  no one knows how long the crisis will last because the state of the covid is confusing , confusing because many are recovering but many are also still suffering and the situation gets worst on some country

Yes.. I expect at least 6 months..! the average crisis as I comment on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs5Yyvih14M&list=PLz_NVO61eqw70kA4Z9z854OoyibpDpOuq&index=2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs5Yyvih14M&list=PLz_NVO61eqw70kA4Z9z854OoyibpDpOuq&index=2) is 1.3 years
 

If you consider the probability that actually there will be some immunity that is developed in human's body then that is good option but there could be no immunity at all. The whole country could suffer from that

it is true that there were already several cases which were almost the same as covid19 even more violent, because the death rate was greater. but this covid 19 virus has a nature that is easily spread, so that it makes a lot of people panic. usually after the change of seasons, the virus will stop by itself

With the the unemployment rate just went up to 3.3 million and the fed printing unlimited money and with the rate cuts going into the negatives then i say this is only the beginning of the end. Eventually the inevitable will happen after and a recession will take place, this might end even other fiat and goes default. This is really crazy times, i suggest to look for alternatives to store your money.

With so much problems I could not let myself to think that the coronavirus was merely made to solve such problems and it just shows how people could be inhumane in solving problems, but that's a very high and out of this earth speculation tho. The recession might happen again yes, but I don't think that America would let that happen since they already know that China is running to them. The money printing is getting out of control, maybe tomorrow the dollar is as pegged as my local currency coz they are printing to much of it, it's really going crazy now.

Actually I think spreading the pandemic in the UK isn't the worst idea... A lot of car producing companies and engineering firms have stepped down their production of cars and the control circuits used in them. These companies are aiming to produce 10000 ventilators in 3 weeks paid for at cost to the government. If it takes 6 weeks (likely for engineers tbh) we may see some slight issues in healthcare being busy but a lot of medium sized corporations here like the fact that they don't have to pay health insurance for their employees so I can see some trying to allow the government to use their equipment where they can't.

We also have large shopping centres in densely populated areas that won't have many people in them which may be able to be quickly reevaluated for housing emergency wards.

The excel conference centre is the first to attempt to be transformed by the army to house 4000 people.

Somewhere like the Trafford Centre has 200 shops in 3 miles. If we say that's 500 rooms (with most shops taking up the full 2 stories) then you could comfortably fit 16 beds a shop and have space for 3600 people there also.

We have slightly more beds than Italy but we don't yet have more ventilators. The major problem with this government's recent climate is that since the records I've found (2005) hospital beds have been in a reduction and there have been quite a few hospitals closed and companies going bankrupt that were meant to take over the construction of the new ones... I mean since our government can't even arrange a Skype conference until they have to I'm not surprised...

For me recessions already in because economy of few countries were already being slow and this impact of Coid 19 where many cities or countries are lock down eventually it has taken a economical hit. Now when everything will start functioning is in known and how much effect it will and has caused only coming time will tell and also huge losses of job will happen in this process so unemployment will just rise in many countries. This is not a good sign for 2020.

Most likely the crisis will end around the end of 2020. People will be forced to rebuild their entire social life and work until a vaccine is developed. Again, it all depends on the government, there should be support from citizens and businesses.

What scares me is that it's the politicians who are making all the decisions, and they don't always tend to be scientific, even if the politicians are relying on scientific advisers. 

My guess is that it'll be another couple of months of hysteria and then the virus will burn itself out--hopefully, and again that's just my guess.  People are talking about how we're living in a different world now, but we really aren't.  This isn't the first epidemic the world's faced, and IMO it could have been a hell of a lot worse.  Imagine if the mortality rate for COVID-19 was a lot higher than it is.  People would be locking themselves in their houses even more than they're doing now.

In my area there are still a lot of businesses that are still open, including some that I would consider non-essential.  But we're doing alright in spite of that.

Thats too long prediction if its true that it takes that long then almost 1/4 of the population may be experience to be infected that time.

My expectation is it will only take 3-6 month before that crisis will resolve and reduce the infected daily by that time hopefully. But we cant guess it right for now we can only do is watch and stay at home ,always  secured your self and family by jsut simple staying at your home so every one can be safe.

The herd immunity mentioned above is quite worrying. I'm in more favour of a CONTROLLED herd immunity where only people we know to be healthy can be given a dose of the virus - only then can we see a reduction in hospitalisations and death rate.

The government are taking the piss with their stay at home stuff only for essential work when we all know their work can really be done from home... I don't know why they were still going out... Stay in, but we're not. I don't trust the government in their views, our chief medical officer seems to be better versed but I hope there are several doctors discussing things. It's easy to forget work you've done in the past even when you spend a long time on it if it hasn't been refreshed recently.

I worry the government are going to try to kill off all the vulnerable people to try to make it look like they're fully funding the NHS and can keep making reductions there... With reduced wait times.

Use of ventilation for favourable patients is also weird as you can get a chain smoker of age 30 giving a space up for a 60 year old who's healthy and they have higher life expectancy... But are they going off how long people have left or how long they have now or a proportion of both.

It would really take a while if you look at how things are unfolding especially how things seem to get worst for some countries. Italy has now overtaken over the rank as it has now recorded the country with the highest death.  Things are also not looking too good with the US and I fear it could get worst in the next month. Let's pray they find a remedy to this disease as soon as possible.

It's going to take about a year as some experts have indicated, this is not the greatest source but mentions end of 2020 as tentative end of the worst: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/03/10/covid-19-likely-to-last-till-end-2020-at-least-say-singapore-experts

If all people are willing to coordinate the policy if what to do or not to do, the propagation of coronavirus will be last as early, because even if you are the strongest man in the world you cannot revoke your life when times come that you are infected to covid-19 unless if there's a perfect medicine or miracle, so we are going to stay at home to defends our life and to avoid place inside the casket, despite all this economic crisis I think it is very unpredictable and some traders are said that few of investors who have been implicated in coronavirus death which is the first reason of unexpected downtrend.

Apparently in China it's already over. Their stock market is back to normal levels and they are doing just fine haha. In the U.S. and most European countries I suspect another 3-6 months. And a few more waves of it to spread throughout. Over a year before normal because unemployment claims this last week for the U.S. was 3 million. Four times higher than the peak for that country in the 2008/2009 recession.

yes, I also hope that this disease can be resolved soon. I read some news about the cure for this disease, it's just that there is still no cure for this virus to develop. Well, we do not know how long this crisis will occur, but if this continues, it will further aggravate the price of all types of investment.

the consensus among virologists seems to be 18 months minimum. that's the best case scenario which "assumes there will be no hitches". https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/27/coronavirus-vaccine-when-will-it-be-ready

our best hope is antiviral treatments. those can be pushed to market 5-10x faster.


isn't it? there may have been signs of a slowdown on the horizon, but nobody could have predicted this instant double digit GDP drop and mass joblessness. this was a black swan if there ever was one.

Even if it depends on the government the crisis will not last long because people will never be in lockdown for so long. I don't think the virus can be controlled right now No drugs have been discovered so far As the days go by the number is increasing.

Still, there is a lot of problem into the worldwide economy and one of the best solution for this to hold the people into their houses with the use of home quarantine and we cannot tell this until when because even it is already a month the virus is continuously spreading but still we are looking forward to the cure and there are a lot of fronts and back liners from the army, doctor and other fields that is helping each other to make faster to create the vaccine and cure the people one of the good things to do is follow the authority.

I don't think we will see it soon to be stopped. The outbreak is getting wider everyday with new records and crisis around the world is increasing which is heavily going to affect the economy in the long run. I don't have much data on previous pandemic though but still, the way it's getting stronger, it seems to be lasted for a while.

It will end if our scientist and doctors discover the cure for the virus. Yes, it might take a while some research says it will take a 1-5 years to develop a vaccine based on other pandemics which occurs on the past but, I hope as soon as possible it will be cured. This virus is damaging our economy country by country, so if it will take a year, I think some country economies will collapse. It's 21st century let's hope for the best for our doctors and scientist.

there are many data's available on the net with a simple search  . by there we can see that italy has the number of the highest deaths so far , they  even surpass china and china is now not getting any new cases which is a good news  .

 if china can make it possible to defeat the virus then why cant others  ? but that is because china was one of the country that is inoovative and strict so people cant do anything but to follow what have been instructed to them , dunno on itally maybe they arent , as thats what the covid data says   .

We all wish that this gets to end as soon as possible, and vaccine gets found quickly so that people can recover as well. Also the way it is getting spread in the world and US this days it is very scary and also another thing is that is it any specific country that has purposely spread this virus in order to hit the economy of the world and to reduce the population in the world is another question that arises now.

Take 18 Months minimum for the approval and distribution of a vaccine .

Then take further 1 year for things to be normal , way way normal like they were before , when you could roam around without any problems

It is not stopping in few months for sure . Technically then also people who are infected will need time to recover again, this is highly infectious and people can be reinfected is the problem.

It's just a part with a vaccine for this virus now, who can guarantee there will not be some new virus in near future? Probably nobody!
We are in dark, many people don't realize that. Of course there are news everywhere around, a good deal of news and theories, but nobody knows what really happened, is it some virus from nature, or someone made that virus, and what the fuck governments do with closing everything and printing money for bailing out big companies again. I agree with you, we will not see the end of this storm any time soon, it will just change a shape, that's it. Now everything and everyone is focused on a virus, tomorrow it will be economy, and the day after tomorrow we will see some new big war or some new and more dangerous virus... and of course we will have a good deal of news with new theories again, but nobody will know what is the truth!
For this, and many other reasons, we need transparency, total transparency! And only thing that can give us that on a global stage is blockchain.

And that people stop being irrational, which is probably never going to happen. In my neighbouring country, the most new cases found yesterday why? Because idiots took home a last flight out of the UK. So they probably infected the entire plane and transit along the way too. Worst is, that country is chartering more flights to take people home. These aren't tourists, by the way, actual residents in the UK and elsewhere in Europe.


It's not the sole reason, how can it be? It's a convergence of many factors. In Europe GDP was already negative in Germany long before covid, as were the negative interest rates. The economy has been slowing down for a long, long time. In 2018 already Bank of England warned it was coming, along with ECB, and the signs became clearer in 2019. Same with Trump era "not QE" QE moves.

This was another straw, but the camel's back was already broken. Stay safe, brother.

I know your opinion because you have repeated it several times over the last month, but given what is currently happening in Italy and Spain, what you and your government are thinking is completely crazy. While most of the world is fighting to control the infection, you would infect the entire UK population and get a score of 5-10% of those infected dead. UK's population is close to 68 millions, so you still think 3.4 million (5%) deaths sounds good?


According to the information I found, UK is have around 4000 beds for patients with respiratory problems, Italy has about 5000 of them, and Germany is have 25 000 such beds. Given your state of mind and completely illogical thinking about how to approach this problem, I do not see how the UK can avoid what is currently happening in most European countries that have taken extreme measures not seen since World War II.

Nobody knows how long will this crisis be.
Even if we find a cure now it would take time before it slows down or even heal the infected countries.
So we couldn't tell how long would it takes for us to completely go back to normal again.

of course this crisis will continue if the world is not yet recovered, the corona virus has a huge negative impact on all countries, if the country and the world do not take this pandemic seriously we don't know this crisis will end!

It seems there is more to this coronaVirus, than just the plague itself, the media never got off their report about it, and all government are shutting down, nations are locking down and humans are dying daily in thousands and the virus has no respect for personalities. Maybe this was designed to gain some economic power and change our world economic equation. I am in my room watching the world.

The government and PM have backtracked from that opinion because of the spike in hospitalizations. Boris Johnson has contracted COVID-19 and is now promoting the mantra of "Stay at home and save lives #StayHomeSaveLives."

https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1243496858095411200

I still strongly believe such mortality rates will be drastically reduced after widespread antibody testing. All testing is currently being aimed at symptomatic cases, which means mild and asymptomatic cases are very much not being counted in estimated mortality rates.

Where I live, you can't even get tested if you have very obvious corona virus symptoms, so none of those people are being counted as "confirmed cases." Only high risk and severe (hospitalization required) cases are receiving tests. Those people are much more likely to die.

I know he changed his mind, maybe after he became infected or after realizing that his strategy didn't make sense. The only question is whether this decision was made too late, because the virus has spread quite freely for a long time and there is no doubt that a large number of people are infected.

I just check today's data for UK, and even though they only have 17,000+ infected, total deaths is 1019 which is a really big number when compared to Germany (58 000 infected/455 total deaths) or USA (123 000 infected/2229 total deaths). If the first line of defense (doctors and medical staff) get infected, it is game over - Italy is an obvious example of this scenario.

Yeah maybe that's the main purpose why the virus spread all over the world, to gain power and superiority because economy of countries starts to collapse or being damage but i think that is not the thing we need to focus, right now following safety measures is a must, staying inside your house is top priority now so that we can slow down the viris and then hopefully it dies naturally, if this crisis ends and then we found out that there is some mastermind in this i am sure the countries will take action for that, for now lets help our govn't so that this crisis will end soon

Its indefinite mate and please don't ask question that impossible to find answers since even the Biggest country in the world are now struggling to Find the cure in the epidemic crisis so this market will stay this way longer.
but there is also a  good effect because look at the world now the environment is greening and the water is bluing so this only means 1 thing that the nature needs rest.

Actually we cannot say how long this COVID-19 would be in different countries, but all I know is, it won't last if there are still some people who won't obey their government, if they will still go outside, if they do not take care themselves. Actually we are the ones that will kill the virus, if we will stay at home then for sure we will lessen the risk of spreading the virus.

So if we all want to kill this virus, let us all cooperate by only staying at home until this virus has gone.

Unfortunately, no one knows when will this crisis end. But I believe this is not the worst pandemic in the history, i did some research and found these:
https://www.history.com/news/pandemics-end-plague-cholera-black-death-smallpox
https://www.mphonline.org/worst-pandemics-in-history/

In the article listed shows the worst pandemic in human history where millions of people died, as for COVID-19 this is not the worst, there's no cure for it yet but some of the countries have confirmed recovered cases which give us hope that this will end soon no specific date but it is possible after months of lockdown or quarantine and strict social distancing would possibly help to prevent the virus to spread but to estimate it will take quite long for this to end. For the meantime, we have to understand and listen to the government's advisories and rules. Keep your house and body clean and most importantly is to stay at home with your family.

And for the good news, 146,396 is the total number of recovered patients worldwide.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

I have always said that whatever internet is for information, bitcoin is for finance. The world is becoming one thanks to bitcoin and people are realizing it just now. Thanks to bitcoin anyone in the world could hire anyone around the world and pay them bitcoin and just build a company that has staff all around the world. That is something you do not see everyday, that is something actually quite remarkable when you consider how vast the world actually is.

I believe bitcoin will get a lot more adoption in the business world because of it, local economies may get affected of course, but the global bitcoin price would be affected by it as well. Even if not bitcoin, we could have USDT and a stable price of USDT means you can pay everyone dollars to their account very easily to avoid bitcoin volatility.

Every crisis begins rather abruptly and unexpectedly. There has not been a single crisis for which people were 100% ready. And so it passes, sharply and imperceptibly for all people.
People just get used to living in the face of hardships and difficulties, and then when the crisis passes, people continue to live as before, not having time to instantly rebuild and continue to live for some time as if in a crisis that has already ended. There is even such a concept of one philosopher.
This is a difficult time, but you just have to wait it, and dawn and prosperity will come.
These are typical life cycles.

Yes this is true. Its why worldometer lists the number of recovered to be half the number that have it. Until then antibody tests just aren't worthwhile...

The only time you're tested in this country is if you begin to have severe difficulty breathing or are already dead... Its up to people themselves here to self isolate if they're at risk and for healthy people to social distance, for now... The government is busy building temporary hospitals and mortuaries and this will merely be a precaution as standard undertakers expect a fairly regular death rate.

The q4 stats for the NHS bed usage was at around 90% and I went into accident and emergency last year in the summer in one of the best resourced hospitals in the country and they all seemed extremely rushed... This seems like it'll be a huge problem unless they can source more people to help - once enough ventilators are sourced.

We're trying to minimise the curve while expecting enough healthy people to develop immunity to the virus to try to stop it spreading further. An additional risk that may or may not have been looked into is how well SARS-nCOV-2 can mutate and reinfect people that caught the first one but so far, outside of wuhan only one strain is known to have taken.

(death stats are put at about 1-2%, for the UK that's at least 1 nurse and 1 military officer per person). But data on ventilation use would be difficult to plot imo.

Hopefully, after the Governments in every country adopts in the virus and would take measures to avoid the spread of the virus, this could only take earlier for about 2 months at best. The virus have taken too much toll in the lives of the people around the globe and has affected every sector of countries. But, if this would spread even more, it could possibly take more than 2 months. Only the cure for the virus will be our last hope to end this early.

Unlike the old days, we our medical approach and technology is more advanced. Let's just hope that  the news that there is already a cure for Covid is real and that countries who were able to create one will lend a hand to other countries without putting money first.

It all depends on if China is telling the truth or not. Many people think that China is lying right now and they still have infected people and they are not really fully recovered or nowhere near the level they think they are recovered. Hell there are people who think China purposefully did this, willing to kill their own people while trying, but they wanted to calm down the Hong Kong people and by creating a pandemic they literally shifted the topic of China suppressing Hong Kongers and now everyone talks about the pandemic.

Maybe it is true, these are after all the horrible people that still have concentration camps. However if that is true, that means we still need a cure and its going to be really horrible year for 2020, all of it. If not true then I am sure we will be better in few months when summer comes.

China is obviously not telling the full story. They aren't counting asymptomatic cases that test positive in their official count. Reports of censorship of the media and social media are widespread. By some estimates, the death toll is 5-10x higher than the official toll: https://www.newsweek.com/wuhan-covid-19-death-toll-may-tens-thousands-data-cremations-shipments-urns-suggest-1494914


That's where I draw the line. Logically that is way too risky given China's population density. A recent international study also just came out which says laboratory origin of the corona virus is very unlikely: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3077442/coronavirus-pathogen-could-have-been-spreading-humans-decades

China is big country so its really possible that they still have positive cases in thier country and no doubt about it.

But i think that they already have a vacine for this virus that never announce in a public.  I cant imagine how they can get those large percent of patience recover while other cant even make 10% of infected to be recover.

I think that this crisis period, which has badly affected the global markets, will continue for a long time and we will feel the effects of the damage caused by this process for a much longer period of time. Although the effect of the virus will be temporary, unfortunately the economic crisis it has created will cause much worse results. I think that especially developing countries and poor countries will face serious economic problems. Due to these economic problems, there will be domestic events and people will die from starvation. For this reason, I think that there will be a difficult crisis process and that this process cannot be overcome easily if to comment on behalf of the whole world.

I think this crisis will ended soon because China have announce for Wuhan region will back normally and their people there have out and get activities like usually, I think with other country will back soon and get normal activities every time. Now we are waiting with bitcoin and altcoin when back to higher price.

We pray that this virus gets end sooner as it has lockdown many cities, states or countries as well and many people are suffering due to it. Some vaccine if found out quickly it would be a better solution as people will get the better treatment and will recover much faster. But till the time we do not have medicine there is no way we can say how and by what time it will end it.

i hope so because many people die and many people lost their jobs and people poverty are really affected too much because they can't afford to buy foods. If a people have unity this crisis will end and it will back to normal It's good to China to become back to normal soon and I hope they can help others country because the virus is cames from them.

I believe all countries in the world are struggling hard to find solution to this pandemic virus and up to the present, there is still no definite vaccine to treat this corona virus. Japan may have discovered treatment for this but they are still developing on it. So we cannot tell exactly when will this global crisis end as we are still facing tough times at the present.

I believe that everything will depend on how the most developed countries cope with the epidemic. China has introduced very stringent restrictive measures for its citizens through the military and face recognition systems. This led to a very rapid localization of the virus and its elimination with the help of hospitals. On the example of Italy, we can see that countries are not ready for something like China.

Yes, no one knows for sure because even though there are some countries that have claimed to have drugs or vaccines for coronavirus, but at least it still takes longer, because the development phase cannot be done in a hurry because if it is done in a hurry and less a test then in the end will not solve anything later. So that way, we have to be more patient and because we know lockdown or whatever is applied in every country is at least an effort that must be done and we must obey it and fight to stay healthy.

I think it is not that the countries are not ready to do something like China but China started early enough to start the fight without waiting or procrastinating about it. This was how they were able to curtail it.

But the point is - every country will suffer a lot from current event.
Current economy system does not stand any pause or slow tempo.
Even if we live through this phase without big default - we'll have to fight aftermaths for several months

The Coronavirus started at the month of December 2019 at the Wuhan, China the epicenter of the virus. But as we noticed before to know that virus many people in china are spreads throughout the world so that it is difficult to tracked them their locations.  At this moment the total case is almost 860,000 and maybe continuous to grow up because some of the countries does not yet finished to test those individuals. I hope in the month of June the virus will be done, but we cannot sure with that because there’s no direct cure for the coronavirus.

the current situtation is different from other crisis we've had back then.
Because now we are in the good position economically, but we just have to stop everyone from working which will lead to huge debts and companies falling apart, govs incur losses.
We'll have to work it out hard in several month

I bet the country Japan have already created a vaccine that could be effective to make the pandemic victims cured. In this case, I highly believe that it is really effective because not to advertise Japan, they are quite absolute in this kind of aspects, their discipline is really serious so there's no doubt that they can actually create something to help cure this pandemic.

So, with that all being said, answering the question how long would this crisis will be, from my speculation, it will be 3-4 weeks, till countries announce positive news concerning this virus.

As long as there are many covid-19 infected persons, the cirsis will not yet end. We should expect more crashes in all financial market because the virus is still spreading in different countries. Right now there approximately 800,000 plus active cases around the world and it is not yet the worst because the virus is really contagious. This crisis is worst than the 2008 crisis. I think it will take more months or even a year in order to fully recovered in this current crisis.

The virus is spreading very quickly, which there are many countries losing their financial crises by lockdowns. In the coming days, we might see more members will be affected by this Corona Virus, I hope it will easily take more than a year to recover the looses now we are facing. Many financial institutions will start firing the employee. Through this Covid-19, already the crises have been started.

How long this crisis lasts is difficult to mention But if we exerting after controlling the virus that has damaged the planet economy the damage is often minimized to some extent. However many will agree. that's why the govt has got to choose this.

New estimates are in from the IMF. They say economic recovery is unlikely until 2021. In other words, we're looking at another 2008-2009 situation:


Trump just told Americans to brace themselves for a "very, very painful two weeks."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/world/coronavirus-news.html#link-6d896d35

The fight against viruses directly kills the economy, because the main control measures are universal isolation.
Obviously, the rest of the world will remain at home, leading to an even greater recession.

The saddest thing is that the virus has not yet affected many countries in such a volume as China, Italy or the United States, but there is already a complete destruction of private business. Many are fired by an employee and shut down their business. “More than a year” for recovery is an understated amount of time! For many, this will not even be a recovery, but a launch from scratch.

China just did right? They sold a lot of test kits to Spain and as expected, a lot of those test kits are faulty. It is not a cure but it is a good reaction based on the numbers being shown by WHO. China has the highest recovery rate in the world right now and obviously, they ould really approach the country for that. Despite the technology being more advanced, we can't really fight a virus that easily especially with people not following policies about this.

Everything won't end once they find a cure for this virus. We all know that the global economy has been damaged so it will take time for it to recover. It will take time before everything gets back to normal and that's a sad fact that we have to deal with. The number of infected people is still increasing in each country which is really alarming. If countries will unite I'm sure that most of us will survive this crisis.

If everyone participate to control this pandemic soon this crisis will end. All country are now doing their task to prevent this pandemic and lockdown have been implemented. Everyone must do self-quarantine, its takes about 10-14 days to come out the symptoms.

Global economy can recover but if people is they died will not. We should focus first in prevention not how economy will recover. I think lockdown will be effective if people will cooperate, they should start with themselves. I hope this April our country will free to the virus as well as other countries.

I agree with you but I don't think this crisis will end so soon All countries are trying to tackle this but nothing is possible As the days go by, the virus continues to grow. Every country is spreading to one country, while one country controls it. Even with some control during this month it cannot be tightly controlled Despite being brought under control by China it is again affecting China.

We don't have to ask about when this will over because no one will know the right answer. What we need to do now is always make sure we are safe, we can protect ourselves and our family from the virus by doing something. I don't need to mention about what we need to do, but as long as we can keep healthy and manage our life to have immune, I think we will be safe, and we can protect our body from any virus. Maybe the virus will end in the middle of this year or next year, but that will not work if we cannot keep our lives safe.

Well you are right about what you said, we need to be safe, and some of us are. We still have some income, saving, we can buy what we need and stay at home! But, there's but here of course, many people are without work, without saving, and without any source of income left. People who lived  from day wage, and their families, those people are in huge problem now.
Economy is falling apart, something like this never happened before. There were drops, but never to zero! Many companies and different businesses stopped working, people don't spend money like before, we buy only what we need, and we save the rest.
Global economy took a hit, and I am afraid that that hit will not be the only one. The effects of global lockdown are visible already, and I think it will become much worse before we see better times again.

I dont think so, we have much more advanced technology compared in the old ages where it takes a 5-8 years or even decade to find a cure. Right now, with the thousand of research and medical scientific advancement. My guess is it would take 1-2 years.
But hey, who knows maybe some pharmaceutical company already built a vaccine and this is all part of their scheme.

Ever seen a US senator and presidential candidate call for freezing rent payments? That's how bad it's gotten. https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1245518423351853061

And yet the markets are rallying! ;D Crude oil is up 40% over the past several days, and the US stock market doesn't seem to care that over 6 million people are unemployed.

This stuff is taken straight out of the Twilight Zone. Nothing makes sense when the Fed promises to pump trillions of dollars into the market. ::)

The virus wont disappear and entire financial systems are influenced by it. Considering the fact the virus will be something similar like the flu (as frecventi) probably the crisis will be till autumn, until financial motors start to work at full power.

There is this timeline that people are talking about where the virus number will continue to go up for a little bit more while, maybe like a month or so, at most two months, after that it looks like the number of cases that gets infected will not really change too much but the amount of people who dies will go down.

Humanity basically will get used to this, viruses never really go away and stop, we just adjust to it enough. Think about it this way, before you get a flu, you get a flu shot, what is that?

Basically it is a small flu itself, it gives you an example to your body so your body gets ready for the real one, it trains your body to be stronger against it. Well, we already have corona going around, as long as we keep beating it the amount of dead will be less because people who might die will eventually die already.

We are now more advanced unlike the old days that it takes years to find a cure for a disease, and every scientists and doctors all over the world are helping each other to defeat and prevent this COVID-19 from spreading. So i think it will only take for 3-5 months to find a vaccine or a cure for these virus, as lomg every families are really staying inside their home just to prevent the virus from spreading.

The prediction is in months, 6-9 months. Some factors like the prescribed time to test vaccines is 2 years but due to the extent of deprivation caused by the crisis it was reduced to 6 months. There are lots of notification of discovery both as cure and vaccine to control the spread and symptoms. We expect the administration of the drugs and vaccines in few months. Most of the long period predicted was meant to help prepare for any eventualities, it might likely be shorter.

In today's situation it is difficult to make any forecasts, but even when all this calms down a little, the consequences will be visible for a very long time, not everyone will be able to quickly establish financial issues.

Some promising news from a US bio-engineering company. They think they've found an extremely effective treatment for the corona virus in the form of synthetic antibodies. https://www.foxnews.com/media/immunologist-possible-cure-for-the-coronavirus

These are the next steps:

No one knows on how long this pandemic would be and as long the vaccine isnt available yet then for sure this virus wont really be killed nor controlled.
Lots of companies now are trying to find the cure or vaccine and theres no other way but to wait for this thing.
We do set out lockdowns and community quarantine but we cant totally get rid of this covid.

Thanks for the share up and hoping this time it would be the real thing and basing on the summation they would have the finalization in August which is way too far imho
and i cant imagine on what would happen to the world on that time.

I can't predicting when this virus ended and how long need time for some country to recovery and back to usually moment, Italy and United State become terrible country have get corona virus and more than one thousand people die there, almost five hundred people pass away every day and look terrible.

It will take a while to beat the financial crisis But timely it's close to end Many countries around the world have already come in check. The virus is often controlled albeit the country's economy is disrupted but the financial problems remain.

maybe they are really the target of this attack as i don't believe that this Virus is not Intentionally release to infect the world.
but talking about when this will end?the answer is not certain because there can be a cure now but the problem is it is not being released to stop the infections.

but the best  for us Crypto holders?is to keep our currency until the market fully recovers if when?no one really knows.

So do you assume that this virus was released intentionally, because of a trade war between China and the US? I personally am not really sure about that, because with this incredible impact at least anyone will not do something like this but indeed, we do not know for sure and I just feel this virus is caused because of something consumed like an animal or maybe other things that cause this virus to grow and develop. The impact of this pandemic is extraordinary because it has paralyzed the economy and I think this crisis will end if the vaccine becomes available.

I think, to overcome the economic crisis, the government must have prepared some plans. only, what caused the crisis was the corona virus, and to date, there has been no specific solution for this virus. so, as long as this virus still haunts the world, I think the crisis will continue.

Well, I also think that it may take 6 months to a year. The economy will crush but it doesn't really matter cause they should prioritize lives. Economy can get back but lives lost in this pandemic won't. Governments should continue helping people who are most affected by the virus. I hope mass testing will be available in my country as well.

Vaccines will come in a year or less, I hope so. Anyway, here's an article for the first antibody test approved by FDA.
 F.D.A. Approves First Coronavirus Antibody Test in U.S.  (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/health/coronavirus-antibody-test.html)

It's pretty hard to tell how long this mess will take, but most European countries should reach the peek in a few weeks, the US maybe a little bit later. After that the world will face a huge recession, which hopefully won't take longer than two years. Nevertheless the economy will recover sooner or later. Don't worry.

This crisis will be actuall it least for the end of the year but we will have post effects for several years after this

From the looks of it I think the harvest will be this summer, everyone will "realize" how big the issue is by this summer, by around November or so we will try to get back, find some ways to recover, bail outs and all of that, there will be some easing helps, even though it would be a long term disaster, in short term it will help and fortunately that short term help will actually help people not bankrupt in the long term anyway so even if its slightly worse than what it would have been without crisis, it also will be better than what it could have been with the crisis.

Long story short by 2021 we will be on path to be back in business as usual, some companies will bankrupt, some people will be unemployed, however we will try to go on like nothing happened.

This crisis will will last at least till autumn. Am one americans sayed, till corona kills us we won't have money for food because of the financial impact.

What I'm really confused about is that there is a lockdown but everyday I'm still getting report of people who got infected. So I keep wondering how those people became infected or are they people that came in contact with those that were formally infected? Or maybe they are those that are observing the lockdown and still hanging outside.

Whatever it is, I'm only praying that it all comes to an end, because I don't really know for how long we can hold for this :(. This is a serious case and lots of businesses has been shut down and people may soon start lacking food to eat; there are already people that are lacking food now. This is serious.

Some people are violating the quarantines. It's also still spreading through "essential" infrastructure like public transit, supermarkets, banks, and so on. People working essential jobs or going shopping get infected and bring it back to their households.

The biggest factor is probably this: (https://nypost.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-can-survive-5-weeks-in-body-after-infection-study/)


That means the 2-week isolation measures pushed by the WHO and CDC may not be nearly enough. The virus is really infectious because it can be spread for weeks by people who don't show symptoms.

we know the nature of this virus attached to inanimate matter, and it can live in a few hours. we can imagine if this virus sticks to banknotes for example, of course there will be many people who hold it. besides that on public facilities such as elevator buttons, for example, it will accelerate its development. with social distancing and maintaining cleanliness, hopefully this pandemic can be killed

There is still no cure to the virus but if there will be now a cure and a vaccine that can prevent a person to have a virus then the crisis will finally over and the economy will start to recover. The economy nowadays are devastated because of the crisis but we should be smart because there are opportunities out there.

In spite of the orders given by the authorities, there are still some people who disregard it by roaming around when it's clear that self isolation is a must because the virus rapidly spreads. They don't realized that they are just putting their health at risk because the virus can be transmitted easily from a person to another by having a close contact with the infected person. Let's just hope that the crisis will be over soon because a lot of people are dying and struggling to find food to eat.

We all have to think calmly thinking about this crisis, the corona virus is getting worse spreading throughout the world, if you panic then your health will also get worse, believe if you are a trader or investor you can go through this, keep your health healthy,  :)

I hope this situation will not going to longterm because they have many affected such as lives and business or economy. The only solution to this right now is totally lockdown to different countries to not spread the virus but in my country people are still going outside even the government implement community quarantine and their not buying needs I understand if they buy foods.

As of now spanish flu is more uglier than the coronavirud because there is massive people died but because of the technology we can't stop the virus by staying at home and follow all the rules what the government given to us because that is for the sake for all of us.

Yes, to beat this example we all need to act consistent with the directive of the govt Then you'll be ready to overcome this crisis very soon The virus has made every person helpless But stay safe reception thinking of your safety. in order that I can affect it quickly and obtain back to the place If we are hooked in to the govt alone we should always not support the govt to guard the people.

I'm not sure, but maybe this won't last long. I am sure with what has been done to prevent the chain of the spread of this virus and maintain cleanliness and maintain the body's stamina to improve the immune system can overcome this virus. so in my view and what the world is doing now it can certainly be a dream to spread the COVID-19 virus.

All countries have been take the action to beat this coronavirus. Many countries continue to help each other in the time of this crisis and the race for vaccine are being testing by different countries to end this pandemic. In my country, the government already extend the community quarantine to secure the safety of all people because for the past days the number of positive cases are not slowing down.
There are not finish yet to test all the people that have symptoms so it's favor for us to extend the quarantine. This will not be stopped unless all countries will be clear to this virus.

This is a twofold crisis. There is a medical side and a financial side.
The medical side will be completed when a vaccine comes out in the market.
The financial side will be naked in front of us in the next coming period when the recession becomes evident to all. I m afraid Covid19 was just the spark that triggered everything, if it wasn't Covid19, there might be something else.
That said, I believe we are getting into a recession, to be followed by depression for a number of years. Maybe I am pessimistic, but it seems to me we will be out of the woods in 22-23.

it has been told that this crisis is the worst next from the Worldwar2 effect meaning we are experiencing one of the most harder life in our Generation now.

i think the crisis will end near but the effect will continues for some time.
don't be exaggerated mate because this is just a normal question and don't need to be exact since speculation is enough for answer.

If vaccine will not be develop as soon as possible then this crisis will likely continue for years for sure especially that there are countries who are very stubborn in following the rules and regulations that were implemented by their government in order to lessen the affected persons.

It will be uglier than others of course if nothing will stop the virus and I am hoping that we will not reach to this kind of situation where millions of people will die because of this virus.

The coronavirus loses to La Pesadilla both in prevalence and in the number of deaths and deaths. Still, the outbreak of the Spanish woman was in a very difficult time, and medicine was much less developed then than now. These factors help us a lot now.

The government has different strategies to prevent corona, starting from the herd immunity imposed by the Dutch government but eventually canceled total lockdown as imposed by China or regional quarantine as implemented in Indonesia.

In Indonesia itself, since a month ago, all schools have been closed and since two weeks ago the work from home program has also been implemented but the increasing number of positive corona sufferers in Indonesia continues to grow rapidly every day and there are no symptoms of slowdown especially in Jakarta with high population density and also the concentration of job seekers from all regions in Indonesia. Because of the work from home program, many workers return to their hometowns.

The largest spread apart from public transportation is also from the use of physical money, in traditional markets only accept payment with physical money. The economic impact is felt most by the working class and the small people so that many people think instead of dying today because they do not eat because they do not work. Therefore there needs to be awareness and action to strengthen the community and direct cash assistance from the government for the middle and poor groups. Many in Indonesia, especially hotels impose unpaid leave.

In my opinion, because the corona pandemic is not happening simultaneously in all countries, then the possibility of a pandemic will actually end in November 2021, especially as China, a country that had previously green again announced the addition of positive patients, the pandemic will end more quickly if the vaccine is already found in China and now in the stage of being tested on healthy people in China immediately get a marketing authorization and can be mass-produced.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, yes this is a crisis and yes it will be bad but to call it "worse than what happened after world war 2" would be really snide and means you have no idea what the life was like during those times.

We are talking about a period when technology wasn't even remotely close to what it is today, the baby steps of what a computer will be in the end was taken just recently and compared to that to now when people could realistic send people to mars if they want to (but not sure if it will be successful or a big fail so they are not ) is really not all that sensible. Let's realize that we are living in a world of many and yes there will be people who will suffer, way before any of this started there were people suffering already as well, but also realize that civilized world will be fine.

"...comparing the current situation with the different crisis we had in the last 100 years...."


@jfarras,  why COMPARE!! :(

well, i don't think there is any benefit or usefulness in comparing a situation that had cause massive death roll & economic crash to another.
I guess you did not know the magnitude of the statement.

It wold have make more meaning or have more sense if, you've greated a video advicing or suggesting to people how to take advantage of the current situation by learning to do something new or start-up a work at home in order to prevent most people from focusing ONLY on the negative effect

Similarly, should have come up with a survey  something like "make a list of some of your best disovery or creation during the lock-down period "


Such thing will motivate people & also distract those who are currently in a state of dispression due to lost of love one's or lost in business.

NOte : this is not Holywood or Nollywood movie's. It's real so, if this is real. People are going through some REAL economic issue's!!

Thanks
Soldierwitlittlefaith

No one can know how long this crisis will end, but we hope it will end soon. Therefore follow the government's recommendation
to stay at home, to reduce the spread of the corona virus. The whole world economy destroyed because of this corona virus, if it
does not end soon it can be dangerous for human life.

Until we find a damn cure for this virus things are not going to get better in the world mate. Currently, the US is leading with over 120K cases and this has slowed down their Economic production and looking at how big the US market is it has literally affected other countries as well. With trials of vaccines already in progress I predict it might take us at least 8 months before we can actually start making predictions as to when this whole menace will be curtailed.

The economy cannot completely collapse and then quickly recover itself. It’s enough to recall at least President Hoover, who also believed that the invisible hand of the market would do everything by itself. But in the end, the US economy collapsed and killed many people.

It is continuing to collapse, and I read recently that thw FED is printing many dollars that can make the dollar to become worthless due to the supply and demand.
For sure they will experience high inflation after this crisis, the Dow jones also are completely crashed but the good thing is we can do shorting their. It took 4 months to see a all time highs in the stocks and indices in U.S. and it only took 1 week to crashed and to wipe up all of the gains there.

If it has a cure in the first place, we would not even think of this or even talk about this.

So let's drop the "it has no cure" thing. But the fact that people are recovering from the virus means the doctors or medical institutions have medicine to prevent the virus from spreading or developing inside the body of the patients. We don't know how long will it take or how long we will suffer but we need to be patient as these lockdowns and community quarantines are for our own safety. Here in our country, the community quarantine is extended up to the end of the month.

Since we are already in pandemic outburst, the Corona Virus will biologically be growing in exponential way. Meaning, the multiplication would be devastating, where 1 individula wouuld be infecting around 400-500 people at the same time! This is the capcaity of infection which we have got right now.

In the coming weeks the incubation period for billion people will be over and thus they will start showing the symtoms making our healthcare industry break down in most worst possible way.

Most of the developing countries dont even have the capacity to adopt 10% of patients per capita!!

This will go on and on until we dont find a cure for it. Im putting my bets for next 8-9 months until when most of the population will be infected.

Note : Even animals are now down the line for this. Worst!

I think the crisis that we face today is really depend on our action or maybe discipline because if we continue to go out the virus will continue to spread and the crisis continue. We need to be more extra careful and obey to our respective government for good.

In Wuhan, they had a very strict lockdown for 11 weeks (two and half months). So the bare minimum is 2.5-3 months. But we also need to remember that the crisis peaks in one country and then moves to the next one. First it was China, then it was South Korea and Iran before moving on to the European Union. It has peaked in Italy and Spain, but the situation looks hopeless in France/UK/Sweden. And during the past few days, huge number of new cases are being reported from the United States.

Respecting the government rules is highly needed in order to help containing this virus. We can't see the virus and we don't know how prone we are each time we go out. In order to lessen the chances of being affected or become a carrier it's need to cooperate with the government. This crisis still uncertain and every side of the world are trying to invent the cure, we need to hope and pray for the best of humankind.

If we base to the cases of covid to call it the new epicenter then we should say it's the U.S.A,  the new epicenter of the virus with over 400,000 confirmed cases which is a lot more cases than the second that
only have 140,000 in Spain. We can say that China get rid over the virus with 90% recovery rate but I'm not as satisfied as I should be because it is very suspicious. If we are talking how long this would take us
to conquer, I'd say we are in half of getting this disease be gone as doctors are seeing the light after having a recovery from patient that had a plasma therapy from another recovered patient.

many countries are recovering from coronavirus while some are just getting started so this crisis is not going to end soon. this might take a year or maybe more not sure since there is no cure. but if you think country based that might not be the same case. let's all hope its end soon.

Day by day my country more than 100 new patient always coming every day, ratio for patient get well back more drastic with how many people got corona virus was pass away, form one month until today above two thousand people become victim of corona virus, maybe need several weeks later for my government can stop this crisis.

"....because if we continue to go out the virus will continue to spread...."

So now all of us should hold the  STAY AT HOME SIGN, i don't know why everybody is focusing on stay at home, govt. seems to concentrate on lock-down lock out but, no body is considering the consequences.

I'm in rome, yeah good news the ncov-19 curve is sliding down gradually but, what about report of young people who be-headed their parent's during this lock-down because they are afraid or they heard that most elderly people are carrier's of corona virus.

Media fails to report about the consequences of lock down. There are lot of related stories around the world.
So, pls i suggest we jump to another thread if, we have nothing to talk about here.


Thanks

This economic crisis will be unpredictable due to covid-19 particularly in the infected area and it is still fighting by the whole world government including the world health organization. I think some labor expert in medicines are constantly looking for a real cure to help but sadly there is no good news because they can't move properly its because the enemy is already there and the worst of it, they can't see the form of the virus to shoot, so our real weapon is useless. In my opinion, the perfect vaccine has already there in China although they deny it there is a possibility due to the disease began in their country.

When the Covid19 vaccine is available. We will see better the economic situation that we have to rebuild. I think we are living in other times than 100 years ago and the damages cannot be compared.
We just have to be patient, take care of ourselves and care for the people around us.

The health crisis is not going to end soon, it will be just stabilized.
We are going to see many side effect from coronavirus. The world's economy is going to be affected as well and we are going to see a difficult fiscal year for all countries in 2020 as both the US and China are already affected.

   They say for a month and half to get out from virus threat, and month or two to get back in normal. More or less
3 months minimum before some big sport events, to people start travel again and move like we did before. But no
doubt people minds will change after this, and maybe we will take more time to be normal again!
   Some countries are selfish, but it's the power of money, who have more money can pay higher and get what
they wants. Poor countries don't have a chance against. 

Nobody knows when this crisis will end. Only we can do is PRAY and TRUST to GOD that it will end in a few months. May God give wisdom to our doctors to find a medicine for this virus so that everything will going back to normal. Stay safe everyone.

I don't know when the Corona Virus crisis will end, but in my opinion it will likely last until the end of the year. Because until now the spread
of the corona virus is still ongoing throughout the world, there hasn't even been a sign that it will end. This has a bad impact for the world
economy, because many people are laid off from work. And we are required to make money from home, lucky for us who know cryptocurrency
can make money from home.

If you look at the Chinese example, we can assume that the epidemic can be stopped by introducing strict restrictive measures.
Unfortunately, a number of countries introduced these measures relatively late, which in the end can lead to the most dire consequences.

I am not that confident on the Chinese figures. There were many non-Chinese news provider that said their government is hiding the truth. That China is manipulating their own situation in order to control their own economy from collapse. And we all know that the Chinese government is not allowing its media to talk bad when it comes to China.

I think Corona virus will take affect world economies big time for 6 months. A cure is still to be developed and it also takes time for mass production, shipments and distribution.

This sanitary crisys won't be worst compared to spanish flue but it will last at least till the end of the year.

I'm predicting a year before everything (economy, etc) goes back to normal.

in facing situations like the economy as it is today, businesses are required to be able to carry out efficiency strategies. Minimally to survive until the outbreak is over. If the global pandemic is over, hopefully an accelerating reversal will occur (pullback) from the downward curve which dived so sharply, as is the case at the moment. The curve dropped sharply in the usual short amount of time. When the end reversal will occur (pullback) the upward curve will also occur quickly in line with the recovery of the economic situation. Hopefully this outbreak quickly passed

But businesses can't do anything, many businesses depends on people, from masses that travel and spend money, now nobody travels, everything is closed! Even a guy who earns on the street from selling sweets can't work, how can he feed his family?
Reality is that this crisis will last for long for some people and some businesses. Even when governments across the world open their borders, daily routine will not come back so fast, many people will be trapped in situation without job and money.
Virus will pass, but situation will get worst for many. Having in mind what  is happening with current economy I'm afraid that we will need to face much bigger problems than virus itself. And believe that the current establishment will not be able to deal with all these problems! I see the system failure in the near future, and that is why I am more bullish on crypto than ever before!

It's maybe late for other countries to implement preventive measures, but China obviously did something to contain the further spread of the virus. If you come to think of it, China should've the most cases since they were the epicenter and that virus came in surprised. How come they suddenly became more than ready for such worst spread like what's happening in the Italy or now the worst in America?

I often get news like that at the moment when this situation is about them or traditional traders to get income to cover their daily needs on the same day, and when they do not trade on that day then they find it hard to get materials for food etc. and they will sell anything which can make money just to buy food, but for those who are lucky will quickly get help from the local government such as giving them assistance or donations. Obviously, this pandemic will make something that will not be easy to solve and even the vaccine itself still has to go through the test phase first and it also takes a long time so I'm not sure this crisis will finish quickly.

It will take an extended time to recover or I saw within the last news that this virus will come again albeit it's somewhat reduced. The virus will last 4 years within the whole world.

UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model has been influential for White House policy. According to the model, California and Washington could "partially reopen parts of society" the third week of May, with Texas and most of the east coast following in June:

https://i.imgur.com/lFZIplu.png

I assume that means Phase One of Trump's guidelines. https://www.whitehouse.gov/openingamerica/#phase-one

That means continued social distancing, no schools or youth camps, no bars, major restrictions on large venues, and people are supposed to avoid non-essential travel and gatherings of 10+ people. Once bans become guidelines though, people might stop following them entirely.

If only we can answer this question to end this pandemic?i will surely make it right now because this really breaking many hearts now.

But there is no answer so far mate,since it is getting spreader now and look how many people are dying each day because of this one.
Hopefully by the end of 2nd quarter we are all Virus free and starts again from the scratch since the effect is badder than what can we expected.
4 years?which news is that mate?because i am always watching news from different channels but there are no talks about this 4 years lasting.

While it won't take that long, vaccines usually take 1 year on average to actually be produced, and at least another year for mass distribution. Still lengthy nevertheless provided how severe COVID is.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/covid-19-how-long-is-this-likely-to-last#From-pandemic-to-endemic

Sounds convincing but 4 years is still too long for such process of complete eradication of the virus. My guess would be more than 2 years and not more than 3. Though, the lockdown and quarantine will be lifted once the vaccine is already available for public use.
I bet there will be available alternative before the vaccine to at least minimize the spread of the virus like the antibodies.

There were also rumors about the latest cure experimentation being effective on most patients, I'm not just sure if that was true or not. Nevertheless, we are all wishing that this pandemic will end asap.

We all do. There's gonna be another problem when people start going insane over the cabin fever.

I believe that in Q3 of this year, everything will be fine again. then the countries will have to go through social isolation for about 3-5 weeks for everything to be well controlled. After that, the economy started to reopen and the sell-off momentum will not exist anymore. Investors will use the remaining cash to invest heavily in the companies with the highest growth potential. So this is the time we need to wait and consider the situation. Everything will be fine soon if we are conscious of preventing the spread of disease.

Wearing a mask, social distancing and washing your hands after you got home is one of the best precautionary actions but we are dealing with an unknown and invisible enemy and worse of all there is such a thing as asymptomatic people who can infect people,  asymptomatic are those people who do not show any signs that they have Covid but they are infecting other people.

This is refer to as the biological war and might be spread purposely in order to let the world economy fall and also may be some country would want to kill their own population as it would be too much for them. But definitely this would have a lot of retaliation in coming time from countries where innocent people have lost their lives and people have to be lockdown and face huge difficulties in this uncertain time. We need to watch out in coming times as situation would be more tensed.

We can observe from the country where the virus first appeared, that in late March the city of Wuhan was announced to be free of the Covid-19 virus. but this week we can observe a surge of patients in China in cities like Beijing. even China is getting ready for the second wave of plague. hopefully there is no further wave that will further make this virus last long.

well so. very alarming in times of crisis like now need to think about survival efforts. must get to technical things such as how every family home get basic necessities free by the government. So far the government has worked hard by mobilizing all resources to protect. heal the needs of the people. On the other hand it is also the government for example, the other side opens opportunities to make new policy breakthroughs, on the fiscal side, widening the budget deficit option that exceeds the limit set by the state financial law in the midst of the growing need state expenditure to provide incentives to the economy.
on the monetary side, it is necessary to emulate the monetary authorities of several countries that are actively plunging in, providing incentives especially when the benchmark interest rate policy and various confessional policies do not work as optimally at present

maybe another month, another 3 months or 1 year..  the point is no one knows for sure when this crisis will end..  I'm sure people will be very bored at home and start to out of the house, just imagine how bored it is to quarantine yourself in the house and it's natural if someone feels bored.  the spread of the virus (Sars-Cov-2) is out of control..

The situation is complicated by the fact that there are a number of countries that have not entered quarantine on their territory,
this can lead to the fact that they will become the source of the occurrence of repeated foci of infection in neighboring countries.

Well, no one has any idea when this pandemic is going to end. But what alarming is the loneliness and depression people are facing with this social distancing. So, how could we boxout corona from our minds? The answer lies in the question itself. Just Box it out buy boxing gloves (https://boxingadvisor.com/best-boxing-gloves/) and a boxing bag (https://boxingadvisor.com/10-best-heavy-punching-bags-to-train-with-2020-review/) and take out all frustrations. 

currently 2 big countries of China and America are competing to make a corona vaccine, they are conducting trials to volunteers by researching the development and impact of the corona vaccine is still ongoing,

I am sure this disaster will end soon and I will find out who the world's heroes will save humanity from this plague

Whoever will issue the first commercial vaccine doesn't matter.
As long as they will be available to public very soon.
Because without it, people will not feel safe mingling with other people.
Hope they will release that as soon as possible.

It may be very difficult for someone to be able to predict correctly how this current pandemic will last. What we should all be looking towards is when we get that big news that coronavirus has a cure. Until then, let us stay safe

Because I don't understand Spanish, so I didn't watch the video. I immediately gave an opinion on the question at the opening
post. In my opinion the corona virus is indeed the worst compared to other viruses, because its spread is very fast and also that
terrible very deadly. Every day the death from the virus continues to grow, if not immediately stopped the human population can
threatened. Hopefully the vaccine can be found soon, I hope that with all countries impose a lockdown. Corona virus can be stopped
in June according to the predictions of the experts.

we hope that this pandemic is finished. however, at present various predictions have been wrong. Some predictions I see predict that before April this pandemic ends. but, the reality is that this pandemic is getting worse. however, after the pandemic, there are still many things that need to be fixed to normalize this crisis.

taking into account all the mortality, recovery, and virus spread rates in a given country, it seems to me that coronavirus has not yet reached that peak of its spread, the period of which can be called a turning point.  The fact is that it would be possible to analyze the data obtained from China, but many say that China still hides information about how they fought with the virus, and how coronavirus spread in their country.  Based on this, it is very difficult to predict when the crisis will end, because we still have to experience the fullness of economic problems due to the pandemic a bit later.

As long as the people dont treat this virus seriously and still going out on thier homes even the government already told everyone  to stay home , this pandemic wont end.

Compared to the great depression this is in my opinion far worse because the stocks is in a big bubble that's has been stimulated through rate cuts and fractional reserve banking. It has been in a continuous upward trend since the previous financial crisis and it needs a correction. Right now the Fed is holding up and manage to bring back the price of dow and S&P but this also happened in every depression.

I do think we need to remember that we were around 17 months away from a vaccine few days ago until Oxford announced how their major breakthrough could accomplish that by October .
With the vaccine one would be able to go outside like usual after being given the booster doses and staying inside for a while.
At the same time there are countries which cannot take what's being happening with their economy so they might follow the controversial approach by Sweden.
Apparently in Sweden after days and Months of backlash , it have started proving to be effective.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-19/sweden-says-controversial-covid-19-strategy-is-proving-effective (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-19/sweden-says-controversial-covid-19-strategy-is-proving-effective)
The graph have eventually getting straightened out and people are able to continue with their normal lives with just social distancing.
If a country is on the verge of the breakdown in terms of economy they will consider opting for the Heard immunity like many other countries too .
So lock-down might be over till October 2020 , or even in 10 days if your country decides to opt for the Heard immunity.
But my best guesses are till 2021 , we will stay inside like we are doing right now .

it is the hope of the prayers of all people in the world to immediately end this co-19, to return to normal when there is any activity, almost in every economic activity, social politics, law. disturbed by covid-19.the government and the medical staff are working hard to find a cure for this co-19 drug, who knows when this will end

Realizing that there's no vaccine that being developed to cure this pandemic virus this situation will continue to affect the economy. It's up to the people to how they will take it seriously and follow the government advised. If this simple instruction can be done correctly this won't take that long and while working with finding the antidote not too many people will be suffer and die.

This pandemic could really impact as a lot as long as the cure for the virus is still not invented, for the meantime, the only thing that we could all do is give our very effort to lessen the transmission  of Covid-19 and be disciplined enough to follow what our Government had instructed us and to stay at home as long as possible.

Here in our city, even if the Government have been conducting massive testing for the suspected infected persons, the number of confirmed positive patients everyday is still increasing, this could mean that our ECQ(Enhanced Community Quarantine) is possible to be extended, and if that happens a lot of people might run out of supplies due to loss of income because of the quarantine.

There are people who don't follow orders of the government, and that is the reason why the case of corona virus has worsen.
However, it cannot be an excuse for the government not to impose their law, they should impose a strict measures to ensure people are following the orders, if it's possible to impose a martial law, then they should do it.

Many people are really very dismissive of existing restrictions, and this is a very big problem. These people can do very much harm with their behavior, both to the economy and other people, because because of them, the time limits will be longer than they could.

this is hard homework for all world governments because the majority of citizens still do not take this epidemic seriously

many people in my country even say "it's better to die because corona than to starve eyes", this is really very regrettable

This will take a year or two to end. We may be out in a few months but the crisis will always be with us as long as we don't have the vaccine for the virus. We will be living in a society with a new normal regulations. The ECQ was extended in my country and I hope this will be enough time for a massive testing so that anyone who has the virus and asymptomatic will be recognized and quarantined. This will help us curve the confirmed positive patients. If the lockdown continue without the testing, it will not be that effective. An asymptomatic patient will still be out once the lockdown is lifted.

In order to finish this crisis, there is a need for people's cooperation and trust in their government especially if their doing the best they can to succeed in this battle. It's a crisis many were facing. At this time we realise that life is more important we need to lower our means of living as much as possible to cooperate in governments law to eliminate covid. There might be hunger but for sure they can find way within their area like vegetables or offer services that within their area. When the lockdown keeps continuing for sure the economy will be at lose so all we need is to be cooperative in following rules to make this crisis over.

Indeed some people already feel bored to confine themselves at home, they worry about the economic situation after this. many people have financial difficulties because they have to stay at home and do nothing. I hope this ends soon and everything will return to normal.

I agree to this, mass immunity is what we need at the moment instead of complete shut downs. Even after shut down, the result isn't positive. The disease is mostly killing older peoples like above 70s, so the lockdown can be strictly on these people and other groups can be allowed to be in open so that they actually get infect with the virus and build the immunity since they won't die of it. However, those who are prone to the disease like elderlies or those with chronic diseases should be in a room quarantined so as to not get infected. This will be a far better approach I think.

We can make sure if there will be any kind of cure they just say it's on a testing phase and not ready yet. and even if there was a cure it could be super expensive for normal people. In my own idea the covid-19 will take longer than 1 year because we almost missed about some people they won't have enough money to but masks, gloves, gels , etc... and they will be the source of the virus that's why I think this will take longer than everyone is thinking

I think that it is impossible to unequivocally answer this question, but in any case, the crisis will last until the problem of the coronavirus pandemic is resolved.  but it must be borne in mind that governments should choose more appropriate methods to avoid the spread of coronavirus, rather than adhere to strict isolation and quarantine.  the current state of affairs, which arises due to quarantine, stops enterprises, stops the flow of funds to the state budget, and most importantly leaves people without means of subsistence.  governments need to come up with a new and more effective model of restrictions.

It is impossible to say when this crisis will last for many more days The situation is becoming direr I don't think that in countries where the epidemic has improved and returned to normal new corona patients are being identified Nothing can be prevented. I got in the new news that this coronavirus will last 4 years in the world I don't know if it is correct but the government needs to take more drastic steps to eradicate the coronavirus Then this crisis can be overcome very quickly.

This quarantine could last whole year and coronavirus could be beaten in couple years - this is a possibility indeed. But there are other more positive ones out there.
This way or another - you should understand that when quarantine will come to an end this won't change our world all the way back to its "normal" state in one day.
Its going to be a long and pretty hard process

It will take a lot of time before it will end. This virus continue to spread even most of the countries are underlockdown and it's never failed to increase. Our government recently extend the community quarantine here in our country to stop spreading. We need to be stay at home and follow our government and let them handle the situation. We still can't imagine how long it will takes before it will end.

I've read this info about an hour ago regarding corona virus, the said virus is unlikely to survive in rough surfaces or have a hole surfaces (a little that it could fit in), the virus likes to stay in smooth surfaces like steal railings, doorknobs, glasses, etc. and every one wasn't ready about this kind of virus, in short no one gets ever the chance to be prepared, If I were asked, my opinion about this is this is more likely to long for about a year simply because we do not have any counter acts for now but only social distancing, well we have plasma from recovered patients but it does not 100% going to make the sick to heal.

Herd immunity without a vaccine is not a reliable option.

It's one we can use but not one we can trust. The trouble with viruses is they mutate all the time. A small mutation is fine and can be dealt with and often can be incompatible with the viruses survival but if it replicates enough then it can start to change how it functions and be a new strain that previous infect ants won't be immune to.

(the virus mutating all the time isn't new because every cell does it, it just may be new to you as a lot of replicas hinder the virus so the new strain doesn't survive as well).

indeed the economic impact of the spread of the corona virus is extraordinary, millions of people are threatened to become unemployed. I am very concerned that the economic impact for the lower middle class will be very large. when they don't work, then their income also doesn't exist ...
another case, for those who work as office workers, or formal institutions. even though they do not work 3 months a week because work from their homes remains on salary. very alarming for informal employees

If everything was decided by the end of the quarantine, it would be a simple solution. But we must understand that as it was before the coronavirus epidemic, it will not be soon. It will take several years for all sectors of the economy to recover to the pre-pandemic level.

This is going to be really big challenge for world because if this take some more time then few developing countries already in serious trouble will not survive even many developed countries will also face some big problems many institutes already announces many troubles for future hopefully we will be able to fight against this all and survive.

no one knows how long the crisis will last but here on our place i heard the quarantince/lockdown is still extended  and that means the threat of the virus is still there   . we dont expect this to happen and all what we want is a fast recovery but the more we think of it the more the extension is happening   . now i need to find profitable source of income and i think cryptos and working online can help me achieve that  .   this can make me and my family keep alive when work outside is not yet available

But we are facing a different virus now in just a short period of time we have millions of infected, we do have a technology and the knowledge on how to deal with viruses but this one is highly contagious and dangerous, it's wrecking havoc on all of us and the cure will only come out in months, it looks ugly now.

Right, I also hope that this crisis will end soon, where I live even though I can sell in my store but the buyers still not dare to leave the house, thus making my income drastically reduced. But the government in my country says this pandemic will end in 3 months.

As far as I know, there is a lot of other pandemics that happened and Spanish Flu is just the worst of them all.

We also have the Influenza, we also have the HIV which as far as I know is still not really curable until now. Some of my friends that are nurses in a hospital told me that they are not really curable but there are those medicines that suppress the virus.

yes, we face different viruses, and also different conditions. nowadays technology is very advanced. however, in my country, more people have been slaughtered who have been unable to survive. I hope that the medicines are given now are better in dealing with this virus. it's just that the positive rate is increasing so fast. I hope this pandemic disappears in less than a year.

I really think it will depend a lot on the country.. here in spain, as i explain in my videos (https://www.youtube.com/jfarras (https://www.youtube.com/jfarras)) the situation is ugly!

but it turns out that this corona virus outbreak also has a positive effect. I saw the news in the Ars Technica media reporting that the presence of the corona / covid-19 virus caused CO2 levels on the earth to decrease by 100 million tons and decreased global emissions by 6%.because a lot of flight activities and must be canceled so that the CO2 produced by vehicles such as planes and ships is reduced

This crysis will last for a period of 6 months to 1 year, from that point everithing should be qas it should.

It may not be that the corona effect only affects global emissions which are reduced by "stay home" which is applied, so the transportation tools are much reduced in use in the road but it has a negative impact on oil prices, because the abundant stock prices have fallen.

but there is a very good effect between countries which are usually trade and economic wars, currently helping one another and working together to combat this epedemic corona. a sense of unity in need is seen among countries in the world today where perhaps in the past it was not harmonious, it is currently united to work together against epedemic corona.

our hope is of course that this crisis will soon end with mutual support to find the best solution.

I think that it will reach the Q3 of 2020 because the scientist still don't discover the cure or vaccine for this virus, but I think that China already have it because they already flattened the curve in their country. They should share the secret to this virus before its too late because there are many lives that is affected by the virus that originated from them. They should be responsible for this pandemic and help other countries overcome this crisis.

Hoping that this quarantined should be lift as soon as possible because there are a lot of poor people who is suffering from poverty and the can't sustain their lives due to financial problem that's why they are the one who are very vulnerable to the disease. Government should understand and make appropriate plans for this crisis. Everybody should take this seriously as our lives is in the midst of crisis if we don't follow what the government told us. Stay at home.

i am afraid 1-2 years

It is one month after your question and the world is still at loss with what to do. People are dying and governments are confused. There is no help and cure yet for the virus. Nobody knows how long the world can still go from now as the number of death rate has gone into millions. The US, Italy and Spain are the worst hit.

As more and more countries are on lockdown due to COVID-19 and the increasing number of people are in isolation it looks lockdown will continue for few more weeks from now, however the human god's (doctors) are giving their best efforts till now. Unless the vaccine is available we can't keep a full stop for this, so it's better to stay at home with our families rather than blaming our own governments.

I think in the long run, the government can't afford to still impose this kind of measure, this is for a simple reason that they can't feed their people forever.
The lock down has a certain period, people needs to work and business has to resume so the economy will keep going and will recover, so they just have to evaluate their measures while allowing the business to operate.

It is only positive for a short time. And if the epidemic ends, I believe it will be worse than before because companies and factories will work at full capacity to make up for losses. And the climate will certainly be much more polluted

mean if the pandemic is over then the world will get worse ?, if pollution will increase then air pollution and globalization will be a serious problem for the next 10-50 years, but the crisis will end if the pandemic ends, of course new problems will be created

No one really knows when this crisis we are currently in to will end up because as of the moment, the pandemic is still on but the good thing is that the infected or the number of cases has been slow down which is somehow flattening the curve which is somehow a good news because the spread of virus must be the one to be controlled so that there will be no other cases to be reported to be able to focus on the number of patients to be given medical attention.  As soon as the medication or vaccine for this has been discovered, surely this will come to an end. The WHO and scientists around the globe are working so hard to find the cure so let us just have high hopes that they will be able to find the cure soon to end this pandemic that will end this crisis.

i think the market will start normal  3-5 month after pandemic end , about the crisis per country , it depend on their capacity to grow up and human resource
but i hope it will going as soon as possible

it's natural, considering it's so difficult to find a vaccine from this virus. besides, the worst thing is, this virus is very difficult to identify because you will know that these viruses are in the body after they have developed.
however, there is no good solution yet. I just hope to be overcome soon and get a way out.

Until a vaccine is going to be produced we are going to live under this crisis.
It might be for sure 1 year and who know if this virus will get transformed and return back stronger we are going to live under the same situations over and over again.

This crisis is very different from the one in 2008-2009. It is accompanied by a coronavirus pandemic. And even when the epidemic is defeated, it will still return to us every year, causing damage to the economy. Therefore, I think that the financial crisis will continue for 2-3 years.

Coming 1-2 years for economy is not good because once the things start to settle and Covid is over then many industries will start functioning fully and what issues they may face due to this lockdown would be known later. Many migrants’ workers who has left their city may not be working now in same wages due to expenses etc. Things will become more expense v in coming time as production cost will rise and many industries may cut the job of employees leading to higher unemployment rate.

That's really long and I kind of agree with that as this pandemic cause global crisis and this kills businesses and our finances.
The government have bailed us out on this crisis because that is the right thing to do when people are not making money, but after this, it's their turn to get the money from us, either in a form of tax increase or anything that would result to the increase of revenue of the government.

It is difficult to determine when the crisis will end, hopefully the vaccine will soon be found and the economy can recover.

Corona problem is really shocking the whole world because of its spread very quickly, so if the anticipation at the beginning is underestimating, it will be chaotic to handle this corona which will also affect the crisis.

I think corona virus crisis could stop faster if government and people could work together and understanding each other, look with Vietnam country where they have ready before corona virus active and stop many plane for their country, today pass six days their people not one get corona virus.

That's amazing, when almost all countries have casualties or die from coronovirus outbreaks but they still have very good treatment so far, 0 deaths have been recorded so far and at least 222 people have recovered. This of course proves that the readiness and cooperation between the government and the people themselves can be done well and mutual understanding, if every country can do this then the possibility of this crisis will quickly end.

may i ask what is your resource? so many people died from this virus!!!! since when government cares about people in world and in country they just want to control every one in world. and guess what.they made that virus for control.the virus will be in world until they made antivirus for that.

You can just do a simple Google search (https://www.google.com/search?q=vietnam+covid+cases&rlz=1C1NDCM_enPH757PH757&oq=vietnam+c&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.4318j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and it will give you the answer.

It is just amazing how Vietnam handled the pandemic like they are so ready for it like they are expecting it. Apparently, they immediately closed their country's flight to and from China in the month of February to keep their people safe from the virus. Despite that effort in doing so, they still get the virus but still coping well that no one died from it. That is just amazing.

This crisis will never stop as long as they couldn't find a cure for it. They should create a vaccine first before we could go back to our normal lives. I just wish that they could do something about it because lots of people are already dying and the global economy is slowly dropping. If a certain country would know how to handle the pandemic situation, I'm sure that lots of people will survive depending on the strategy that they have.

Vaccine will really give peace of mind to people around the world, but it will be months and months away as they are still in the clinical trial. What I am after now, is the effective cure or medicine for the disease. Because up until now, doctors are still in the trial stage of possible combination of drugs, but nothing really come up as the only one that will treat this disease. So it depends upon the response of the patient to certain drugs that they know can stop the virus. This is why the duration of this crisis is still unknown because no one can say a definite answer to treat the infected people, while we are still waiting for the vaccine to be released commercially.

my desire may be the same with many people that this pandemic will end soon. but when the end is still no one can predict precisely besides there is already a drug and anti-virus created immediately. China, which is finished with a pandemic, is still troubled by a new pandemic from citizens who have just come from experiencing new territory.

if many people predict that for tropical countries, can end when the summer starts which will occur in the next 2-3 months. what about the winter country, whether when spring runs it will also end. I hope this can be quickly passed.

cooperation is needed from countries that have finished pandemics to be able to also help countries newly affected by the pandemic. because obviously medical personnel are needed with many patients who are infected.

Now corona effect is the biggest virus effect in modern world. Biggest biggest innovation are discovered in this time but till now we can't discover corona virus antidote. When the virus antidote discover than slowly slowly whole world  will be normal again. Before that we can't tell how long this crisis will be.

There are no specific time when this crisis will end hence no vaccine yet for corona virus and mostly vaccine can be developed within 6 months max because it has to go thoroughly clinical trials before getting approval from W.H.O. Even without vaccine, we can still contribute on how to stop the virus spread by staying at home and follow strict rule from our government. This crisis brought us drastic downfall on our economy specifically on crypto industry. We just have to remain calm and with all these will passed by and be back to normal life once we find a cure and solution for corona virus.

Scientists have decades of experience creating vaccines so that is not the issue, the issue is that the economies of the world were in bad shape already and this virus just made that reality even more evident, this is going to change the behavior of people all around the world and this means that things are not going to be as they were before all of this, do you think people are going to take a vacation as often as before when they have bills to pay? Do you think they are going to buy as many cars as before? Things have changed we just do not know how much yet but we will find out during the next months and years.

hard to determine when this pandemic will end, true your opinion at this time is needed is the creation of drugs and vaccines to inhibit the spread of a pandemic. because by doing a "lockdown" and "stay home" only reduce transmission can be overcome so that it decreases, but does not complete the pandemic chain.
at any time a pandemic will re-emerge without drugs and vaccines in order to prevent a pandemic.
I hope this pandemic will soon end because the economy is very disturbed, because all sectors cannot work and there are many new unemployment.

Well, it can indeed be done, it's just very difficult to do that when we look like America, and the country that has been affected by this virus is very large. for now, this pandemic is not known how long it will be. many issues say that the cure has been found, but until now we do not know how long the pandemic will last.

The sad truth that nobody knows. Countries will need a lot of time to recover their economy. Vaccine will faster this process

Until now, we have still no idea when this pandemic will end. I know that there are a lot of people all over the world who are hoping for the vaccine to become discovered by our fellow scientist. Having a lot of experiments about that requires time, effort and enough budget because that's not easy to acquire. That's the reason why we have no idea about when this pandemic will end so as soon as possible, enjoy this quarantine and make your self productive inside the house. After this pandemic, I guarantee you that everything will not totally go back to normal because there are still something that's been damaged by this pandemic just like our economy, businesses, and other things that are affected by this virus.

probably about 5-7 months of this pandemic will end I do not know for sure this crisis will end because the vaccine has not to be found the most important thing you have to keep yourself and your family I am also very worried if this crisis continues into next year I can not imagine threatened economic and human will hopefully soon come to an end.

Fast forward 2 months later - we are still high up in the ass and we are not expecting vaccine anytime soon.
world economy holds up tight. Us govs decided to print enormous amount of money and since most of the world hold funds in usd, US govs just robbed a little from everyone and gave it to us citizens.
I expect next dump to be in the next 1-2 months and then we'll climb back to "normal" state of the world

I really want this problem will solve as soon as possible, But reality is it will not go soon,  it is incurable problem till now. Many developed countries trying hard and soal for prevention, i wish it will be solved as soon as possible, people just boring for lockdown situations.                 

Have you seen the CCN news. There are countries in Europe that have opened lockdowns. Activities will be normal, such as Italy, Netherlands, Spain. they have opened lockdowns, their daily activities will be as normal again, like school children will be carried out, and the workers have been allowed to do activities in the news content, lockdown easing has been implemented to fight the corona virus.

LOL, giving space for people is done after considering that the pandemic can be controlled even though the incident still exists. The government may have considered that the pandemic began to subside and that unlock was imposed only because they wanted the economic conditions of the people to be improved after the lockdown.

However, everyone must make efforts to prevent and maintain their own health with a healthy lifestyle. The government must still work to prevent a second wave of pandemic if it leaves the community free to carry out the activities they want.

We would really have that "new normal living" where everyone should impose strict social distancing even if the quarantine is been lift up.Situation might have began to subside but as long the vaccine isnt available yet
then theres always a chance for second wave or so on.We cant probably tell that its okay to lift up any decisions because it can become worst in a short span of time. Talking on how long the crisis would be?
As long it do exist and do continue to close up establishments and business, we would really see its impact and thats why other sectors or fields are making out their own strict solution just for them
to continue, im not saying its a dumb step but its a kind of desperation step to sustain.

I agree, but I hope that the government finds a way to regain the country's economy since a lot of people are already having a hard time right now, just imagine if this continues for 2 or more years so I hope it won't. The vaccine is really essential in this pandemic and I hope it will be invented this year or maybe next year, hoping it will be don this year.

Thats true specially for poor countries that needs the help and support of rich countries to restore the stable status of their economy.

The crisis will come to an end if the vaccine is discovered to address the virus. If there's no vaccine how can we stop it from spreading knowing that its very easy to pass it to other people especially to elderly.

Though vaccine will ends up  the spread but the damages that this virus brings to the economy will take much longer time. The financial crisis are booming in each part of the world most with small third world countries that being hit so hard.
But as long as we are still living we still have time to rebuild our society, no one can tell the exact time we just needed to all be ready and willing to take part of the solution and not to add more problem.

I know it will take time to recover, but at least when there is no threat anymore, people can fully get back to their business and things will be going to the right direction, this is just a part of the trials but a strong nation will always rise with its people being the force.

Exactly, we will rebuild together and just like the crypto space, we got so many trials crypto market got dump many times but its still here surviving and we still believe that it will succeed in the future.

I think that the created coronavirus vaccine will have a high price, which will not allow its mass use in all countries. Therefore, not all countries will be able to use it EN masse to localize the infection. The only way the government will go is to close the borders.

How i wish this Vaccine will be created the sooner and even how High the price this will surely be availed by the government to stop the spread of this virus.

We are running almost half year that the world is in this crisis (China is the first of course since last Year)
i don't think this will run that long because there is a preventive measures that is going now and we can see that even that there is no vaccine yet the spread is lowering and in some country there are only few cases that having now.

No one can give any time table for this as now we already have more then 4.2 million effected peoples and numbers increasing very quickly even now in few developing countries due to soft lock down numbers can increase very quickly because they have no required all stuff to stop this all and its very scary for near future developed countries can do some better things as they have better resources but countries like India Pakistan and Bangladesh are really in worst situation.

It all depends on the earlier they are able to provide the vaccine. It will be difficult for someone to predict accurately how long this current situation of coronavirus will last

Hopefully not, If this will happen, even if we have the vaccine, we can't fully stop the virus if the other countries was unable to afford the vaccine. Meaning, there will be no end to this pandemic, everyone will suffer in the end and we will only experience many waves of the virus.

I agree this virus is not going to end so soon No one knows exactly how long it will last But I don't think it will ever be possible to control it completely without adequate vaccines. In many countries its impact has diminished but is re-emerging People will be more affected and the virus will not be cured this year.

i heard last day on news that there are now new infected case on china   .

thats scary men i thought china was fully cleared on it but not unless if they allow people to cross thier borders .  there are already recoveries without vaccines so its pretty possible to control it as long as people are going to stay consistent on what they are doing   .  we just need to take good care of those hard headed people and abusers because they are the number 1 root carier to spread the virus   .

It is possible that the financial interests of pharmaceutical campaigns will be higher than the safety of people. This can only be changed if the vaccine is not owned by a private campaign, but by an organization such as the World Health Organization.

This is a pandemic and even though it clears out it cannot be controlled all over the world at once. Just like China at some point reduce their spread rate but the US increased in death rate. So if this pandemic is leaving this earth entirely, then it will be serially. Some countries will be free before the others. And new laws will be enforced to communities regarding travel and other social gatherings.

Many of us assume that the world economy is coming to an end, all that remains is to think about this condition by accident or by design. We can learn that the economy stopped in America after the 911 attacks, this is because circulation, values disappeared and the whole system collapsed. almost everything stops, ranging from air transportation, road closures. But a few days later, President Bush asked the public to revive the economy by shopping and visiting restaurants and watching shows and encouraging them to fly again.

The economy will collapse if there is no movement. Stopping for a few days has caused panic about what happened due to the corona pandemic, with a longer duration of cessation and almost all over the world stagnation.

So what needs to be started is to think about strategies to reduce the double shock economy in the demand and supply side diaries. From the supply side how to create jobs that are labor-intensive and easy to absorb labor and from the demand side how to stimulate consumer spending passion again.

It is possible that the country that first invents the vaccine will be able to become a manipulator to solve many of its issues. And not always these issues will carry good goals. Therefore, I want the invention of the vaccine to be truly an invention that will save the world, and not divide it even more into rich and poor.

I think that certainly will not be so, because. around the world, there are about 120 teams working on vaccine development that should go at about the same pace. Therefore, there will most likely be no manipulation of the vaccine, at least I hope.

I think this is it. I think this is as far as corona virus will ever go. From the look of things, i strongly believe that the world is on the verge of recovery. We are getting close to defeating this. A little more hope and faith will do at this stage though

It is still uncertain to predict how long this poison will stay in our beautiful world. The virus is frequently changing its behavior and taking the research of the scientists in a fix. In some countries, it has turned its run into a slow coach because of strong lock down but in many other countries it has increased its speed. When the countries will release the locked, it may spreaded over again. Actually we are now in a dangerous situation.

It seems that we have a coronavirus for a long time. It is clear that quarantine measures will, to varying degrees, last until the end of this year. However, it seems that we are confidently approaching the onset of the global economic crisis. This will drag on for years. In addition, we still do not know how this fight against coronavirus will end. He can continue to mutate.

what you fear is true that this pandemic will continue to mutate. because all this time what has been done is to reduce the interaction between the sick and healthy, so that those infected with the disease will be reduced. but this does not solve the main problem that a pandemic will pass, if drugs and vaccines have not yet been discovered. With this protracted pandemic it will certainly affect all affected countries, because they have to prepare a bailout fund taken from other sectors specifically for handling the pandemic only.

The way it is spreading in some countries now also does not look good and also in US it is killing a lot many people and highest in the world it has affected population ad also the death. We are in very bad situation as such because economy has already taken a hit, many labourers are returning back to their homes and does not guarantee if they will be back again for the work in other cities too soon.

Nobody doesn't know how long this crisis will continue because as of now, coronavirus is spreading very quickly, which it will take a lot of time to get the vaccine for the Corona Virus. Most of the countries are in lockdown which the economic growth of the country is becoming worse with this Corono, so we should be very careful with the corona and as well as with the market.

Even if the vaccine will be here tomorrow - we will face crisis for some time anyway
I bet the aftermath will last at least 1 year (probably more, according to previous crisis)

for exactly 2 months tomorrow since the Pandemic starts in my country and the lockdown as well,still there is nothing change as the infections almost the same ranging from 150-300 daily,though the death is lessen and the recovery is increasing yet the counts of affected is still rising .

for me this will never stop this year or maybe until mid of next year if people never realized why the government is implementing rules to follow.

I think at the middle of 2021
It is known to all that currently there is no cure for this coronavirus. Although A number of drugs are being developed and tested but failed. Accroding to exparts, around 1year need to have drugs for curing coronavirus. So need time to get rid of this crisis

This is just the beginning. We have to choose what we want - personal selfish gain, or life for the sake of higher spiritual values?
The world can no longer exist until deception, misinformation and manipulation are defeated in our minds.

The second wave of the pandemic could be a huge issue, in my country I am seeing a lot of people that are already relaxing the measures that we need to take to keep ourselves safe, and that is a problem, most people are going to get overconfident once they see the number of new cases going down thinking that the worst has passed when in fact we know that the second wave of the pandemic could be many times more dangerous than the first one.

If from the information about the discovery of drugs and vaccines that need at least 9-12 months to be properly used, what was said above would be true in the middle of 2021, this pandemic will be finished.
but there is growing speculation that during the summer this pandemic will start to diminish.
but now all it does is reduce transmission from the sick to the healthy so that this pandemic does not continue to be a terrible plague.

but with cooperation between countries that is starting to open up because common interests can be certain this pandemic can also be handled more quickly, we can only hope that.

Developing the vaccine and distribution of it would take a long time even if they create the vaccine there will be many stages of testing on different people. with all these conditions even if the vaccine worked well, since all the world needs this product, due to the huge demand this could be really expensive. That's why I think we have to don't wait for the vaccine and try to defeat the crisis.
Considering all I said above the vaccine development/testing can take almost a year or even more. Unless people use the social distancing and defeat the virus.

That's a year of waiting, or over.

I guess no country can afford to lock down in a year, they need to balance the economy as well, therefore business will slowly operate while doing the extreme measures the government will implement, we can make this possible, if some country who are also affected were able to continue their businesses, then let us not think its impossible to start now.

For how long this pandemic will last, no one can tell that vividly. As said, some countries may recover faster than others based on the measures they put in place, its effectiveness and the commitment of the citizens to adhere to those measures. Now, most African countries like Nigeria and Ghana are still experiencing a leap growth in confirmed cases.

That is the problem though, the vaccine can't still be invented. Another problem here is that while the vaccine is still not found or invented, that just means the government will be using their budgets to focus more on people so they would last or survive the long days of quarantine or lockdowns. So how long would the government last?

It is hard to tell until this crisis happening because there is a lot of things happen into the world and today and this is caused by this coronavirus spreading the pandemic outbreak there are a lot of people getting infected rapidly because of this and some of it's cause of death and this is a hard issue to us because there are too much number of life causes only in a signal mistake.

Still now we dont have any cure and this is the main problem because the number of people increasingly getting died and some of the places made lockdown can't do anything more because having a long time before the transportation and the import and export of foods and other things needed. Soon we are hoping that this virus will be gone and back to normal.

Most of the countries are now lifting their community quarantine to save the economy but the problem is the second wave of the virus, as long as their is a mass gatherings, the virus is most likely to pass with one another. The WHO warns that this virus can lead to years if there is no a vaccine yet that will be invent. The crisis will only be over if the virus will not spread anymore and if the number of the recoveries will greatly improve.

I am afraid that this pandemic will last for years. I am also looking for information on drug or vaccine development and it can be obtained in years. as far as I know, the current situation, there are enough positive people. however, I can't think of anything other than lockdown for now. this might take a while.

This will take as long as the vaccine will be discovered and distributed all around the world. Even though different governments have issued precautionary actions such as quarantines, it is unavoidable for all of the people to avoid physical contacts, for their necessities. The possibility of the virus to spread and reproduce is still there. So, this will take indefinite period of time until such vaccine is created. But I hope this will not take long years to be discovered. Keep safe to you all.

Nobody knows exactly. At least, the next month too. It will ends than we will create the vaccine for it

I really think that as far as we do not have a legit vaccine in place, then there is no healing that's going to happen. Hopefully, Im wrong and we get an alternative solution.

I'm hoping it will end in just a year probably this year only and we can finally find a way to reopen the businesses and cities while distributing vaccines that had been tested.  Its however very difficult to say that we are going to be to normal because every country as the news says has different kind of corona strand which means the virus had evolved already.  And that means the threat will still be here for a long period of time.

No one can tell when it will end untill the vaccine is ready for distribution for everyone.the spreading of the virus is still counting in everywhere it spreads so fast,that is why we have to care of ourselves and always practice good hygiene in anything you do to stop the spreading and the virus kills after two weeks if they don't transfer to human.
Maybe it will end a year or more it depends on how we handle the problem and how we fight for it.Many of us wish to stop the pandemic,so many lives are taken and many are in the hospital fighting for their lives.We hope that the vaccine is discovered very soon and for us to bring back to normal life

If we will follow the historical data of the viruses and pandemic, a new virus which is literally no vaccine will be experimented by different experts.

Creating a new vaccine for a new virus mostly takes years most probably but with the upgraded technology that we have right now, I expect that this time frame will be shorten. TBH, I don't have any specific time into when this crisis will stop but people are already adopting into the new normal worldwide. Even there are no cure as of this moment, establishments choose to re-open their business with strict guidelines so that there will be no infected in their place.

If I will say a time frame into when this will end, I will say 18-24 months or even shorter.

This pandemic might be the worst of all, all countries are facing a recession, businesses have collapsed, a lot of people have been layoff by employees and the poverty rate will increase. This is a battle for survival and if you have a life at the end of this year, you have made a lot of profits. When there is one, there is a lot of hope that lies ahead

there are diseases before that can be stop or controlled without vaccine but later on vaccine for those diseases are still created and help lessen the risk of getting it or forming it , also speeds up recovery  . same thing happen now where there is no proven vaccine for covid yet but dotors have found an alternative way to treat covid positive patients  . it could be in the form of other drugs and medicine . also in the form of social distancing and other strict protocols

The word here is not "stop", but prevent since as long as there is no vaccine, it will not stop. We can prevent the viruses from spreading jus by following the protocols being stated by WHO or the people who have knowledge when it comes to this type of viruses. Avoid sharing fake news every time and let's take care of ourselves as long as we can since the vaccine is still not done.

have i missed something?what does it mean by " New Vaccine will be Experimented by experts'?

Sorry but it seems that i have no idea what you mean here.


depend on what Virus and how hard it be,Like this COVID19 that may take years before happens.

18-24 months when this starts october last 2019 meaning we have to wait for another 14 or more months?

Thats too long ,i dont know what to do if my company Lay me off.

In the UK we'll be slowly opening things and taking a gradual approach.

I believe that this economic crisis will last and cause serious harm to the world. Currently, these are just signs that the economic crisis is approaching, not that it is happening. On the other hand, this economic crisis is in all aspects of life, from economic, political and social, not merely the supply-demand crisis as in 2008.

Previously and until now almost all people are spend their time to dealt the economic downturn in fact many  countries are definitely success even more volatility and I believe that this creative crisis will be last and becomes new normal and learn between the tension and agitation.

Yes contact with other people is impossible to eliminate. Another, the way of paying coins and bills. We know that money is dirty due lot of hands touches it. Online transactions are not yet implemented by all of the stores and coins/bills are still the major mode of payment which is prone to spreading of virus.

It will last as long as the directive of an economic restart is pushed through.

As for the severeance, I think it´s a matter of perception. How many of the previous crises had a direct effect on your life? 2000 dot com hit the banker stock trader and get-rich-quick lucksters that tried to make easy money with that "Internet thing". 2008 caused more trouble, since the unemployment got pretty high, it had an effect on more people. This time it´s all of us, many for the first time. This is an uncertain situation with an uncertain outcome and humans don´t like that, tend to exaggerate. Remember the first rule of the Hitchhickers guide to the galaxy: Don´t Panic"

during this time it is prevention from the sick not to approach and infect the healthy, not cure it so that the pandemic can disappear. agree that as long as there are no drugs and vaccines, physical contact will definitely occur and transmission is also vulnerable. especially now online payment has not become a permanent priority with paper money that will clearly have an impact. but in my country it has been tried by taking blood plasma that has been infected and recovered to be used as urgent assistance for the critical and there seems to be good news for it. many countries have also tried because other alternatives do not yet exist. hopefully drugs and vaccines soon be found, we can return to normal life again.

This crisis is longer than what most of expected even though if the spread of the virus could be stopped the damages to our economy will be prolonged and could take years to heal. But after this we have to keep going in order to survive and make good plans in advance.

You should understand that if people will go out there to streets like tomorrow - it will partially help out economy to keep the damage lower.
But virus will be spread again and second outbreak could actually kill economy of the world
On the other hand we could wait for couple more months now, it won't hurt that much - it will take like 1-2 year to heal

it's hard to guess when this pandemic will end, if you see a medical journal it takes up to 18 months to be able to get drugs and vaccines. imagine what will happen if you wait until that long. With the implementation of a "stay home" for only 3 months the economic impact has begun to be disrupted, many small and medium-sized companies have to reduce employees because they have not been able to fully produce normally, due to the unavailability of materials.

many countries are innovating so that the economy can run slowly and surely, reducing the number of workers so that "physical distancing" can be carried out so that no further transmission occurs. health protocols are strictly implemented. but sometimes not all human can be arranged, it is very feared that there will be a further pandemic that could be more devastating.we don't expect it to happen

I see no reason to expect that the state will decide something. Most likely, the crisis is just beginning. We need to think for ourselves how we will live and what we will do.
I'm not talking about a virus (which will end soon itself), but about what follows after that.

The use of Fiat does not actually affect the spread of the coronavirus as much as it is written about. But I agree that the number of operations with Fiat should decrease. But this is perfectly handled by credit card payments and contactless payment methods.

You are wrong my friend. A lot of bank notes were contaminated with corona virus but don't know about any case due to an infected bank note, but surely there would have been transmission by bank notes as well. Even there were many videos of people spitting on the banknotes from india and then throwing away those in open in order to spread the virus. Also a report was also there in which the bank notes were being sanitised by the government for making them safe for use. But still digital payment methods should be preferred at this time and if you are ordering something online then you should pay in advance instead of opting cash on delivery, it will be better for you.

in fact, there is currently so many negative and positive news. it's just that the crisis still continues, even though there is enough positive news at this time. however, the current situation will not change as long as the vaccine from Covid-19 is not found.

I feel like this crisis will end about October-November. Because we need time to recover if we don't, More cases will happen and this will just worsen. So if i were you I would distance myself to people if it's not necessary.

The media can make this event more negative or maybe more positive in some places, so I'm not really concerned about what is happening because we just need to follow whatever the government orders because after all, vaccines are very important right now and if this outbreak have disappeared 100% whether it's with vaccines or maybe there is a miracle, so afterwards I'm sure this economy will recover quickly because every country will surely work more optimally to restore the economy.

It can't be said surely and even I can't predict anything. Because many time already wasted to predict it and there are many people from different countries tried a lot and still they are trying but no solution yet to satisfy us. Even if China provide any vaccine now, people won't accept it easily I think.

I assume it will be until 2021, I don't know what will happen after 2021, I don't know if it will continue to 2022 who knows, but I know it will be "at least" until 2021. We are only 6 months away from the new years and right now economy is still not doing well, yeah sure the stats might be looking good, and yes stock markets looks recovering and yes governments are doing whatever they can, but look at the regular human, that individual person is affected beyond measure and we all have huge piles of debts now that we can't pay. That is the reason why I say it will go until 2021.

You can see stock market doubling in profit but that doesn't mean anything at all unless the regular worker is not getting part of it at all. Whats a recovery if it is not for every human and not just companies and CEO's.

Luckily you are wrong, in terms of a country.

This might be incomparable to what you are saying but New Zealand din't have any cases now. It appears that if you really know what you are doing and people actually follows the knowledgeable ones, it will end quickly and until now they still don't have a case.

This might be the case for New Zealand but that doesn't mean that it would be the same with other countries. There are those countries that governments don't know what should they prioritize. I am not saying that it is in the negative way, no. They want to help but they want ro help so much that they don't know what to give and what the people really needs.

It may take even longer than a year. The covid19 cases are still growing and as long as there is closing of cities and businesses, the crisis will be here. Its has just started yet. A year later the industries that closed will have a hard time coping up with the new system.

Even if government will declare Covid is gone and safe to go out, lots of us might not go out still.
Many people are still afraid to go out of their houses so its a hard start for businesses today even if they find employees to work for them, they may find it hard to gain when there are no clients.

The government only want to restart the economy now more than ever. They don't really care about the lives of its people as if they would have taken care of the people then the cases would have not been rising till now and would have been taken under the control because the government wouldn't have opened the economy. Whereas people are now more scared than ever as they are actually thinking about their lives more than going to the job for money. If you are alive then you can make money later in life, but if you get infected by corona virus then the chances of you dying might increase and who would take care of your family, this is what people are most fearsome about.

Yes, thats the deal.
But there is a chance that we'll manage to develop some form of covid tests which will multiply its current efficiency.
This way we could test most of population - ill ones will remain home, others will go at work

maybe until 2022, that's my estimate and by then, the whole economy will go into a depression.

Some other said that this pandemic will long two years and more. But if the others don't do the healthy measured that need to fight or lessen the virus then its spreading fast and the virus still alive more in years. The only one cure to end this pandemic is the vaccines but we dont know what time is this make or someone already make this. Just always away in the places that have a cases of this virus.

The forecast for a vaccine being found is still around the end of the year, but who knows how detailed the testing is going to be. Having long term studies on the effect of the vaccines will take a long time. And even with vaccines around, I don't think all people will want to take them. In the end it will be hard to totally get rid of Corona.
I believe it will be similiar to Ebola in the end, where every few years we hear news of another outbreak.  Even the plague is still around today in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar.

This crisis made the world economy collapse, maybe after the vaccine was found it took about less than 1 year to make everything stable. after it recovers we don't know what will happen next to the world, it will be better or another virus will come ::)

for now, the existence of COVID-19 is no longer so horrendous. even in some cities in my country, I have done activities as usual. however, we do not know when this crisis will end, and there could be a second wave of spread. as long as the vaccine hasn't been found, it looks like the crisis won't stop.

It is said that the cure is already found.
It is just being tested in order to ensure that there will be no side effects. By the time that we have the vaccine on our hands the economic recession is going to be stopped and we will turn again back to normal.

I’m not sure that there will be enough years for everything to return.
It would be nice if the world returned in 5 years to the pre-coronavirus economy, but not the fact that this will happen. I want to believe in the best.

You are saying like these people don't know what they should give to the people.

They wanted to help, and they might give other things including food but that is important. It might be a cheap food, cheap things, cheap masks but still, that matters. The government is racking their heads and there are problems that the government has that people don't see. I am not siding with the government, it is just that I am still wondering where the billions are going.

This virus has made a huge impact to our economy, we didnt see this coming and most countries are not prepared for the pandemic. No one can say for how long we're going to wait for the vaccine to discover but hopefully as soon as possible. We cant go back to our normal life if the virus didnt go away so lets hope everything went well.

The space will need to adapt to the changes the pandemic has brought to our social lives and progress with the necessary developments. I found excuses from some project on stall development as a result of the crisis irresponsible and unnecessary. There are lots of adopted changes in communication and cryptocurrency is a platform that encourage anonymity with total online transaction, if and when it demands.

Hi there! This extreme crisis that the whole world is facing right now will never end until the medical drug experts can't create a vaccine that will cure all the infected people and stop the spreading of deadly Corona Virus disease. The health problems and financial crisis will soon get worst as days gone by, if we don't have the most awaited vaccine...we just need to compose ourselves and stay positive, and pray for all this things to pass and have a new normal life. Stay safe!☺

Well, let's hope that not another virus will be coming. We can't afford another pandemic if that will happen. Countries are trying so much to keep their citizens safe and well-fed. Jobs are starting to continue and we just hope that it will slowly go back to normal before the vaccine has ever found. All we can do is to follow protocols and do what we can do in this pandemic.

I think the crisis will last a few more years. The number of diseases will decrease every month. But in order for countries to overcome the crisis, a healthy economy is needed. Some enterprises will have to rebuild their business. This will take some time. I think this virus will serve to update the economy.

I don't know how long this crisis will last because i can't say what will happen next. The biggest crisis right now Corona virus. Because of this corona virus we are in a serious economic crisis. The vaccine for this virus has not yet been developed. it has become very difficult for us to overcome this crisis until a vaccine is developed. :'( :'( :'(

It is something that disrupted the economy, not update it.

This will really take years to mend. We can't really blame each other now as this is closing to its end and we hope that things will be more better in the upcoming years. Since we are still finding the vaccine, what we need to do right now is to help rebuild the economy's country. It might be small but still, we can help in our own ways.

I am more pessimistic about this issue( A new wave of coronavirus will come to us several times a year. And we will have to adapt to this and continue to live next to these kinds of infections.
I read that those who got sick with coronavirus do not get immunity and there are already cases when they got sick again.

Total recovery completely depends upon the availability of the vaccines, if they are developed quickly then we can see early recovery from Corona virus but if it is delayed then the damage that it does to us will keep on multiplying as the people who got infected from it previously aren't immune to it and can get infected again. It already has cost billions of dollars of loss to the economy of every country and will keep on doing it if not taken under control. I guess after development of vaccine it will be over soon.

Nobody knows when this crisis will end as long as there is no proper medicine for this virus. Let's hope that those medicine expert can find or create cure for this virus so that this pandemic will end and  we can live a normal life again.

I think it's true that you are saying, right now what is really needed is drugs and vaccines to be found soon to stop this corona pandemic continuing to drag on. because so far only rely on "lockdown", "physical distancing" in order to relieve transmission from illness to the healthy.

many countries have imposed more acceptable restrictions so that the economy can still function. so that workers can get a salary to meet their daily needs and the company can run even though it is not normal, but the economy can move.

the fear is that if this continues and a second wave occurs that is very likely to be more powerful than the first wave. and drugs and vaccines have not yet been found, the country will experience financial difficulties resulting in increased debt and the danger of hunger

I think we are yet to see another massive drop in the stock markets.  This most recent market crash was like no other seen before.  The fact of it dropping so hard and so quickly yet recovering like it did, simply isn't natural.  A lot of the market come back seemingly came from Q1 earnings results, which did not factor in Covid-19's destruction.

I think when we hear Q2 earnings results, reality will sink in for most investors and we could see a major drop in market prices, as well as prolong this recession.

This is one of the good thinking here. Yes, and that's what government is doing right now in most of the countries. Well even in our biotech industry our management staff decided to keep all employees at workplace and keep working the normal way. We have workforce of 4,500 people and all coming to same campus. It's ridiculous but as it sounds it helped everyone.

After three months it seems we had only 51 employees covid positive while it is thought that others were infected but are asymptomatic and thus might just have gotten natural immunity.

That's the best way to get out of it.

The time frame is not predictable since vaccine still not being found, we are all hoping that eventually antidote will be available for us to have a normal life, without worrying about this pandemic virus the economy might rise back.

Government needs to work accordingly, it's needed to have  a well balance decision regarding to protocols that allows people to go out and start working back, the virus still active so avoiding the spread  needs to be implemented by the government.

With the coronavirus virus, a mutation occurs and as scientists suggest, it should weaken over time. But in any case, it is only possible to stop the spread of the virus after creating a vaccine, not a drug. But as I see from the news, we are still far from launching such a vaccine, and we don't know what the cost will be.

I can sense that there are three part ways that this is impacting the world right now and it would all be different periods. There is a short term, there is middle term and there is long term impacts in the world right now. The short term is there will be shortages in some items which would increase the price of it and I am sure there will be a period where luxury items will not be sold that much because of it and stock market getting affected by it.

The middle term will be the unemployed people because of this crisis will have hard time finding jobs because there will be less jobs but a ton of new people applying for it (which will cause a drop in the salaries since companies will have ample choice to pick from) and lastly the long term will be the economy as a whole recovering to back where it was means there was a setback and a stoppage which causes it to hurt everyone's income.

All Chinese products is not long last, But this product being long time, it is exceptional, Covid-19 is very dangerous virus. It Spread all over the world within some days. Many countries comeback from this Deadly virus but Many country fail to recover from it. So i think we have to wait vaccine. When vaccine will be available then this virus decrease, otherwise we have to long time. I think we have to wait minimum one years to Release from this crisis.

We need to follow the instructions to improve the situation and get everything back to normal. We also come to the conclusion that this virus will not last very long Measures are already being taken to control it.

Yes we need to cooperate, be responsible and follow the authorities because this is for our own good. We can return to what we used to but I think it wont be easy, new normal is to take precautions always when going outside. Here in our country, we did return to our job but it doesnt mean the virus is gone, in fact the number of infected is increasing each day. Its scary to think that it will spread continuously because there's no vaccine available yet.
