Any idea when this is global pandemic is gonna be over?

Unless there's some consensus across all nations on the best way to handle the outbreak universally. As one. It never will.

It may die down and even hold-up in pockets of the world not taking it too seriously or unable to comply with what they need to do in order to subdue it.

Otherwise it'll just go round and around evolving and killing more as it goes.

After many have died, a vaccine discovered and distributed, let's say, 18 months minimum.

Entirely, once a vaccine is ready. The best estimate to have one is on Q4/2020 or Q1/2021. I have some doubts it'll be ready so fast, but you never know, science amazes us all the time.

Lockdowns and what not are gonna be eased if not revoked once the diagnostic capacity is increased, better treatment is found, and the spread is reduced.

Lockdown will be removed after sometime but pandemic will be over only after vaccination which will take around 18 months.We will live in restricted environment till then.Lockdown can't be enforced for long duration as it will destroy the economy and many people will die of hunger if not corona. government has to open the lockdown even if more people get infected

When a fool proof vaccine is found. Not before. This is called a "novel virus" because no human being has a natural immunity to it. So as long as anyone on earth has this..it will continue to contaminate others and kill. When trump says it will be safe in 'X' months to end this...........he's flat out lying as usual.

No one knows as this is new , and no one has any real answers , going to be longer then people think, china got another outbreak again ,after lifting restrictions after there lockdown

Two years from now? Maybe? That's my guess.

don't know don't care.

Good question. Even better is the place where you pose the question

Once everyone is exposed. Every one needs to be exposed its just a matter of not overloading individuals immune system and the healthcare system all at once and trying to spread it out. There's no magic bullets here.
