The Guardian: Don’t bet on vaccine to protect us from Covid-19, says world health expert
Professor of global health at Imperial College, London warns we ‘may have to adapt’ to virus.
Humanity will have to live with the threat of coronavirus “for the foreseeable future” and adapt accordingly because there is no guarantee that a vaccine can be successfully developed, one of the world’s leading experts on the disease has warned.
The stark message was delivered by David Nabarro, professor of global health at Imperial College, London, and an envoy for the World Health Organisation on Covid-19, as the number of UK hospital deaths from the virus passed 15,000.
A further 888 people were reported on Saturday to have lost their lives – a figure described by communities secretary Robert Jenrick as “extremely sobering” – while the total number who have been infected increased by 5,525 to 114,217.

WNU Editor: All the people that I know who are knowledgeable about this are telling me the same thing. Developing, manufacturing, distributing, and training people to administer the vaccine will take a long time. And there is also no guarantee that a vaccine will be found. Another complication that I have been told is that this an RNA based virus, which means it is easy for it to mutate into something else. I understand that presently there are now seven variations of the Covid-19 coronavirus. What this means for policy makers and governments is that if this pandemic continues and economic hardships increase, and a vaccine is not on the horizon, some hard decisions will need to be made on opening the economy. Bottom line. I call this the worse case scenario.

If China did this knowingly they risk the world to be at war.
Look at the bright side there is no longer death,God has spoken. So go live a Godly life 4 heaven sakes
If there is no vaccine then WW3 will be inevitable.
China is playing with fire. 77% of American are angry with China, trade with China will fall very quickly...and not only with America : Japan put few $ billion to companies for relocating business, same with Europe where Angela Merkel send a $150bn to China for damage compensation...etc. China CCP will face a huge population disruption, and the only way to divert that is having an enemy and...war.
Vaccine or not the choices for governments aren't "hard." We need our economy back. Ultimately the virus
will do what it does. Our immune systems will do what they do and we survive.
Where this becomes "hard" is certain elements in America at least have staked their political futures on the lockdowns and the economic calamity th that comes with them. At some point, they will have to fix the economy but, while they're skilled in tyranny and abuse, they haven't a clue about how to manage or build a successful economy. So far, they've reaped enormous benefits from this with no costs.
The hope was that the lockdowns would break our spirits and sap our will to resist them. Thus far its failed!! This becomes "hard" indeed for them.
