Well according to my crystal ball:
Infections will rise, and are likely near their peak, then decline. Hysterics will seek out places where there is some exception to the decline and proclaim that the end of civilization is near if we don't lockdown immediately, and forever.
Estimates are the fatality rate will be between 0.5 % and 1.0%. Those estimates will be solidified in near term. The MSM will dispute the low number and insist it must be higher.
Vaccine may not be available until 2021. Surprisingly, it will not be inexpensive.
The election will be hard fought and vicious. Whoever loses will not take it gently. There will be trouble.
Schools that reopen will be the new battlegrounds for political forces. The needs of children to be together and learn in person will be disregarded by hysterics and doomsayers.
2020 will go down as one of the most tormented years in our history.
A man was asked "How long will this virus crisis continue?" He said "I don't know -- I'm a doctor, not a politician."
