The current economic downturn is likely a mild recession, but the duration of the recession may be very long. The root causes of inflation are the pandemic, wars, and the US-China relations, raising interest rates only addresses the symptoms. Without addressing the root causes of inflation, once interest rates are lowered, inflation will return. Then there will be a need to raise interest rates again, leading to a cycle. It's like having a cold ten times in a row, which is equivalent to a serious illness.
