These are all good questions. However distant it will be, and no matter the suffering the world will face, the Corona epidemic will pass at some point that those that survive will experience. I wonder what kind if celebrations we will see. Like when WW2 ended? Will it be a distinct event, or gradual? Will other side effects have become so grave so the actual epidemic has moved to the background? I hate this situation but it will surely be something to remember...

When Sars ended Toronto had a concert, they called it "sarsstock". Maybe we can call this one Coronachella?

  Definitely better than calling it Coronabury or Coronapalooza.

I was wondering if there might be a baby boom. There are a lot of couples, inside the house together for a long time, wanting productive ways to pass the time... ;)

    Sorry to hear that. I'm SO glad I got out of my toxic relationship before this whole thing hit. Quarantining alone is zen.

    This matches with the divorce rate shooting up in China after some married couples couldn't stand spending so much time together, see https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-31/divorces-spike-in-china-after-coronavirus-quarantines https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-31/divorces-... .

  Lotta people are saying that, but the post-WW2 baby boom was in the days before birth control. Plenty of productive ways to pass the time without actually producing anything now. Most families of childbearing age are pretty terrified about bringing a child into this world in this particular time, anyway. One of my wife's friends just gave birth a couple days ago and reported that there were COVID patients on either side of her delivery room. My wife's first comment was "I'm really glad that I'm not pregnant right now."

There probably won't be much of a celebration. This is nowhere near as catastrophic as WWII (it doesn't even alter how most people live their lives, unlike WWII, let alone death counts). Life will probably go on as normal.
