The World Health Organization declared it an epidemic in March after the coronavirus first started in China in January. But some research claims that covid-19 pandemic started in 2019.
About eleven months have passed since then and it has spread to more than 218 regions around the world and caused massive loss of life.Every day we are losing a lot of people. Thousands of people dying everyday.
The coronavirus has killed more than a million people till now. Every country in the whole world seems to be isolated from one another, every human being in the world seems to have moved away from one another.
There is a kind of isolation all over the world.We are feeling like trapped in a cage and nature is taking revenge of our misdeeds.
However, some countries have tried to return to normal life by lifting the lockdown, but it is seen that the coronavirus has re-emerged in those countries.
Now those countries are thinking again about the lockdown and some countries are proposed new lockdown measures.
After living in this isolation for so long and seeing so many deaths all around, the only question in people's minds now is when this pandemic will gone?
When will we be able to return to normal life? When will everything be normal again or when will this epidemic end?
These two same questions came to my mind. I have found some answers. I love to share knowledge. Now I'm sharing my knowledge insights.
I will write this article on how an epidemic can end and will try to give you some good news.
So before answering the two questions, let's look go back to history. Coronavirus epidemic is not the only epidemic in the history of human civilization.
Over the ages, different countries have witnessed different epidemics from time to time. Like the Spanish flu in the 19th century, the plague spread throughout Europe in the 16th century.
So how did those epidemics end? If those epidemics were to end, it would be possible to figure out how to end the coronavirus outbreak. Because at that time medical science is not that much developed like today.
Let's find out more. What is meant by epidemic? When a new disease spreads very fast over a large area and causes massive loss of life, we call it an epidemic.
However, it should be noted that there is no specific country hampered by it. Pandemics spread from one country to another, from one continent to another. Human civilization, like all other epidemics, are witnessing the coronavirus epidemic.
Let's take a look at the prerequisites which an epidemic ends:
1) Discovery of a vaccine
A vaccine or a specific medical treatment system is invented to treat the particular disease.
However, it is important to note that no specific treatment for coronavirus has not been discovered yet and people have so far only been able to find an effective cure for only smallpox.
So it can be said that the previous epidemics are not over yet, they still exist among us but not in such a manifest form.
The effectiveness of these epidemics has been greatly reduced. So the question is how did those epidemics end without any vaccines or medical procedures? I will discuss about this on the other part of my article.
2)Infection or mortality rate sees a downward trend
This means many people as there are in a particular area are infected, or all those who are infected have recovered, or the death rate has dropped drastically, or no one survived the disease.
If no one is infected then no one else will be infected by him. Similarly, the Spanish flu pandemic, which began in 1918, came to an end. However, this is not a very effective solution. This increases the risk of death for many people.
3) Ending a pandemic socially
How can the epidemic be ended socially?
When a person is adapted to a new situation, overcome the fear of an epidemic, and somehow prepares mentally to survive the epidemic.
Because at a certain time I or you have to go out for work or livelihood. If there is a livelihood, there will be life.
In this case, people learn to survive by fighting the disease, the grief by taking some precautions. We have been taking some precautions since the onset of the coronavirus epidemic.
Such as using a mask, washing hands with soap regularly, maintaining social distance, staying indoors, sanitizing hands regularly.
A healthy person can be infected only when if he comes in contact with the virus.
If the virus cannot pass from one person to another, then no one will be infected. So you have to use a mask.
The use of a mask reduces the transmission of the virus in many cases. By taking these precautions, we can keep the rate of virus transmission very low.
Until an effective treatment (vaccine) is discovered, we need to follow these precautions to make a living.
But the good news is that all the big companies in the world, such as Oxford AstraZeneca, Pfizer are working tirelessly to find an effective vaccine against the corona virus. We need to survive until that day.

Hopefully in the coming days we will get an effective vaccine. It is estimated that, we are going to get vaccine in January.
We need to remember that as long as we do not get an effective vaccine, the warnings will have to be obeyed.
One thing again I'm telling you, make sure you are wearing mask when you are outside and keep your hand sanitized.
Just remember this is not the first time we are experiencing a pandemic. Our ancestors fought against all these pandemics and their blood is running between our veins. We can end this pandemic just by taking some measures.
We'll be able to fight against all the odds.Good days are coming. Pray to Almighty,for everyone's safety,stay safe and wear mask.
But in my opinion it will go away in its time. Only my opinion. Vaccines won't be effective because for common cold we have to wait several days.😁😁😁
