It will stop when we have a vaccine, but that's a year away.
It will slow down to a "reasonable" risk when enough people are infected and recover and enough people stay at home that the surge to our health care system subsides. It could become more manageable if we find a treatment. It will be more manageable when we actually test enough people that we can isolate and contact trace those infected.
We have to get to a point that our health care system can manage the number of people infected.
Listen to the health care professionals NOT politicians.
This was a post I made at the end of March. There are some who are saying the pandemic will be over since the election is over.
PLEASE DON'T BUY INTO THIS NARRATIVE. We are in worse shape going into winter than we were at the peak early in April and May.
We are all getting pandemic fatigue, but all the evidence points to a more serious problem over the next few months. Cases and positivity rates and hospitalizations are all going up at an exponential rate.

It will probably be the middle of next year before most of the country can be vaccinated even with the most optimistic outlook.
Keep yourselves safe, this will be over but it's going to take a little longer.
