How did the corona virus pandemic end?
Corona virus or known as COVID-19 is a family of viruses that cause diseases in humans, usually causing respiratory tract infections, from the common cold to serious illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(SARS).
A new type of corona virus found in humans since an extraordinary event appeared in Wuhan China, in December 2019, was later named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2), and caused coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19).
The corona virus outbreak that spread throughout the world for nearly 5 months has changed many things in the lives of citizens throughout the country. The massive spread of the Covid-19 virus causes the WHO to finally determine the global pandemic status of the corona virus. Governments of all countries have taken a number of steps to deal with the spread of the corona virus.
Steps taken include limiting the movement of citizens and closing access in and out of other countries. The impact that emerged was starting to be felt, not only related to health, but also the economy.
According to WHO Corona Virus will never disappear, various studies have been conducted to find solutions to treat corona virus from the medical side. Scientists from various countries are racing to find a virus vaccine, which is estimated to take more than a year. However, even though the vaccine will be found, WHO warns, the corona virus will probably never disappear. "Said WHO Emergency Director, Dr. Mike Ryan, Wednesday (5/13/2020).
The possible way for the corona pandemic to end, as quoted from The Hill and Live Science, namely:
1. Through containment or containtment
This scenario should have been carried out when the corona infection was still limited to the region of origin. If the Covid-19 case could be known quickly from the start, a containtment policy could be carried out so as not to infect people in other areas.
2. Assisted by weather changes
There is potential that a corona pandemic can naturally decrease due to natural factors. For example, warmer weather can affect the virus that causes flu and other types of corona viruses. There is hope that SARS-CoV-2 may also not survive heat, but this speculation has not been scientifically confirmed.
3. Viruses no longer have a potential host to be infected
According to New York University epidemiologist Joshua Hopkin, Covid-19 cases can also decrease if the virus runs out of people who are vulnerable to infection. However, this scenario may be quickly resolved in small populations, and it will take a long time to occur in areas with larger populations.
4. Pandemic turns into endemic
Endemic means disease that attacks the population at a constant rate, but the number of cases is quite high. The global pndemic corna may end if the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection becomes endemic to the community. That is, Covid-19 triggered by this virus is the same as seasonal flu, which comes once a year.
5. Physical distancing
Another scenario to end the corona pandemic is community and government cooperation through Physical Distancing. This method may be applied by us, including by staying at home, keeping as far away from others as possible, and working from home. This method also helps hospitals to focus on treating patients who have been infected with the corona virus.
6. The presence of antiviral drugs and other therapies to handle Covid-19
Yes, of course we also expect antiviral drugs that can treat SARS-CoV-2 infections. To find it, clinical trials will be needed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of a drug. Until now, researchers have not tested 10 types of drugs that can later be used to treat co-19 infections
7. Vaccines
At present a number of research groups are developing vaccines to provide protection from corona virus infection. Corona vaccine can protect people who have not been infected, even though its nature is not 100%.
So, the conclusion is that we as citizens must help the government in handling this epidemic by obeying the regulations that have been made by the government, which we can do, such as social distancing and physical distancing, this is very influential because it can reduce the risk of contracting the virus. When a person limits himself to meet with many people then the risk of contracting is also getting lower. And the end of the corona virus is difficult to predict because there are still so many cases of the corona virus that have not been resolved until now positive patients infected with the corona virus continue to grow.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has also said that COVID-19 cannot be lost in a short time and is a problem throughout the world. Therefore the new normal life order needs to be applied by the community.
