Life returns to normal eventually. And quicker than expected. This is not the first epidemic nor it will be last. We have seen 4-5 major epidemics in last 20 years. This time we have a more penetrated social media, hence more hype. Even in deadlier epidemic of 1919-20 was forgotten quickly.
Yeah, I feel it'll take an extended time for this epidemic to finish but people will return to their normal lives it'll not last forever There are many epidemics before but people don't remember the purpose when everything is in check. therein case, there's nothing to be disappointed with it'll end but it'll take a while Every 100 years there's a plague that spreads round the world.
This is an epidemic of ignorance. Since people like to remain in ignorance, the epidemic will last a long time... maybe as long as the earth lasts.

Nah this one will last. with the second wave and a third wave until spring of 2021.
UK plans on rolling lock down plans. 50 days shut 40 days open 50 days shut 40 days open.
This is what most countries will do.
It spreads out the death so we can bury them.
It allows for masks gloves bleach
And if lucky someone will find a good cocktail of drugs that lowers death a lot.
So May of 2021 and it is over and out.
