Forecasts can be frustratingly speculative and inaccurate, but journalist Lydia Denworth's concise sketch of "how the COVID-19 pandemic could end" is worth your time. It quickly reviews what worked in three past pandemics and outbreaks—1918-1919 H1N1 influenza, SARS, and 2009 H1N1 influenza. The piece reports that the COVID-19 pandemic’s outcomes will depend on a 50/50 mix of socio-political factors and science (possible antiviral drugs and other treatments, screens/tests for antibodies and immunity, and a vaccine).
