  We show that Hossenfelder's covariant formulation of Verlinde's emergent
gravity predicts inflation and the late-time acceleration at the same time,
without assuming a separate field such as inflaton, whose sole purpose is
producing inflation. In particular, for the current deceleration parameter
$q=-0.95$ to $-0.55$, we obtained $\lambda^2$, the mass of the imposter field,
from $1.85\times 10^4$ to $2.26\times 10^4$. We also note that the value of
$\lambda$ around $q=-0.93$ coincides with the inverse of fine structure
constant.
