So, do you think that the Coronavirus situation will have improved by this time next year?

No. Even if they make a vaccine it will take months to convince people to even try it. And even then there might not be enough people taking it to achieve herd immunity. And then the vaccines themselves may cause problems. Two of them have been put on hold over lingering side effects. Then we could screw around long enough for it to mutate and we have to start all over again. I believe in our sheer ineptitude in dealing with this.
