But for whom does it end, and who gets to decide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When will the Covid-19 pandemic end? And how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to historians, pandemics typically have two types of endings: the medical, which occurs when the incidence and death rates plummet, and the social, when the epidemic of fear about the disease wanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen people ask, \u2018When will this end?,\u2019 they are asking about the social ending,\u201d said Dr. Jeremy Greene, a historian of medicine at Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, an end can occur not because a disease has been vanquished but because people grow tired of panic mode and learn to live with a disease. Allan Brandt, a Harvard historian, said something similar was happening with Covid-19: \u201cAs we have seen in the debate about opening the economy, many questions about the so-called end are determined not by medical and public health data but by sociopolitical processes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endings \u201care very, very messy,\u201d said Dora Vargha, a historian at the University of Exeter. \u201cLooking back, we have a weak narrative.
