The U.S. could be free of the coronavirus in late September, and the whole world can expect to put the pandemic behind it in December, says a group of scientists in Singapore.
A mathematical model created by the Singapore University of Technology and Design is allowing the scientists to predict the future of the virus using data from already confirmed cases and deaths around the world.
Based on “a predictive-monitoring” technique, the model inputs global data, which is converted to a bar chart. A curve over the top of the chart displays the trajectory of the disease. At the end of April, its predictions showed that the U.S. would be virus-free by Sept. 20 and that the U.K. could see the end of the coronavirus by Aug. 27.
Scientists at the university cautioned that their dates were not exact and that the predictions should not lead to hasty ends of lockdowns around the world.
“Overoptimism based on some predicted end dates is dangerous because it may loosen our discipline and controls and cause the turnaround of the virus,” they said.

That is when herd immunity would kick in. When there are very few people that can get the virus, it will fade away.

So it is a problematic non-peer reviewed model.

Don't be too pissimistic, guys.

There’s such a thing as a peer reviewed model lol?
Models are predictive and we know how predictions can go. It is just a model *like the rest of them* but I wouldn’t totally discount it.
The SARS outbreak ended when the virus underwent a mutation that rendered it less virulent.
It would suck if that happened to COVID, huh?

That'd be awesome.
Sure hope so, afraid to get too many hopes up though.
