According to historians and a very interesting and suggestive text from the New York Times, pandemics generally have two types at the end: one is medical, when the rates of infection and mortality will drop dramatically or disappear. The second ending is social, that is, when people stop being afraid.
Despite the interesting view on the issue, the historical reconstruction of some of the biggest pandemics from the past and the opinions of experts, we still come to a certain problem when in a pandemic we distinguish between a "health" and a "social" end.
Pandemics, as far as we know, haunt man for over 5,000 years, and in over 2 millennia we have written notes. Thus, the first was recorded in Athens, 430 BC, shortly before the start of the war with Sparta. Thucydides will write in the History of the Peloponnesian War: "People in good health were suddenly attacked by heatstroke, redness and inflammation of the eyes, throat and tongue, began to bleed and let out an unnatural, foul-smelling breath."
