Did you know that the quarantine can last until 2022?
Everything seems that if, according to several scientific magazines that have published that they estimate that it would take more or less little more than a year to officially end the quarantine. But that if fulfilling the distancing, because if not this can be prolonged a little longer than that.
Since scientists at Harvard have expressed their concern that if the quarantine is lifted very quickly, we can make the peak of the pandemic continue, but something tells me that the only ones concerned are them and a few more since at least where I live. many are carefree, do not comply with social distancing, and those who demand it from others mock or are annoyed by it. I think this will be the start of a long quarantine.
But let's not be so pessimistic, I have faith that people do meet the distancing, at least the people I don't see since the people who do see the few times I go out don't meet it, but well.
Now another important fact, we already know that previously there have been other quarantines in the world, but they have not asked themselves: How long did it take for the disease to be declared eradicated?
Well here we go with some data:
The influenza of 1918, popularly called "the Spanish flu" is said to have wiped out a third of the world's population, and it took no more and no less than two years for the disease to be considered eradicated. See it for there is the time that lasts.
The bubonic plague or black death, a disease that by its name alone implies that it is a terrible disease, and affected the population in 1346 and it took 7 years for it to be said that it had already been eradicated, people spent a long time in quarantine.
There are many other pandemics that occurred, some more lethal than others, but I will only name these two so as not to extend myself as long, but see that it took a good amount of time in quarantine for the peak of infected people to begin to decrease.
It is not surprising that if we reach the next year with the quarantine, but we trust that soon everything will pass and when we realize it we will return to the outings, to enjoy a meal with friends and family.
Tell me, did you know how long it took to eradicate these pandemics that I mentioned?
