Bloomberg: Covid-19 Shaping Up to Be Battle for Years Even With Vaccine

(Bloomberg) -- The coronavirus pandemic is likely to be a challenge for years to come even with a vaccine, according to pharmaceutical and public-health experts.

While a vaccine will provide some measure of protection to societies around the globe, the virus is likely to flare up from time to time and be constantly battled, much like the flu and other pathogens.

“We know this virus is not going away any time soon. It’s established itself and is going to keep on transmitting wherever it’s able to do so,” Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist for the World Health Organization, at the “How Covid-19 Is Reshaping the Global Healthcare Ecosystem” event hosted by Bloomberg Prognosis. “We know we have to live with this.”

Humanity’s record against viruses is poor. Only one virus has been fully driven out of existence in humans – smallpox. The rest are managed, with brushfires stomped out when they flare up.

“I think what’s realistic to expect is that with a combination of drugs and vaccines we can get to a stable place where the pandemic is manageable,” said Novartis Chief Executive Officer Vas Narasimhan. He called the actual elimination of the virus “unlikely.”

Flu has been with us for years.

Ditto rhinovirus.

Entero viruses have been with us for years also.

We're doomed. Lockdown now!

Do you suppose SARS & MERS are both still out there lurking?

They';ll be with us for years periodically breaking out like the bubonic plague does. We should not be having babies and raising them in such a dangerous world.

* Lockdown for 2 weeks to flatten the curve so hospitals are not overrun.

* Field hospitals were set up for the end of the world and Field hospitals were taken down after they were erected.

* Then we were told things will get back to normal, when we get a vaccine.

* Now we are told that a vaccine will not help much.


1) It is blazingly obvious that the vaccine won't be a one shot for life with a booster later on. It will be more like a flu shot that will contain the circulating COVID strain 50% of the time. It will be taken yearly.

2) It should be obvious that people keep moving the goal posts.

3) Obese, diabetic, hypertensive people not only do poorly with COVID, they do poorly with influenza and rhino viruses. Viruses are a fact of life. Should we stop everything, because people eat a lot, exercise little and get fat?

4) People are deriving political power from the emergency. They are also using the disease to fight their political enemies. It is almost like witchcraft. Witchcraft in Europe much of the time was not so much about believing in witches as a way to get rid of a neighbor or political enemy.

OCRUMBO used up all the PPE in 2009 and in 7 years never replaced it.

"World Health Experts Are Now Saying the Covid-19 Coronavirus Will Be With Us for Years Even ..."

Well that is gospel. Any disease that has a reservoir in wild animals has the potential be with us forever. So these experts have not told us anything new.

We could kill all the wild animals and get rid of the reservoir, but that is not going to happen is it.

Most Arabian based countries still have camels so they still have mers. sars is still around. BUT both diseases are not very infective. Covid is
because a chinese lab screwed with it to make it more infective.

the president has been in office for over three years. He is responsible for what is and what is not in stock. Trump is not responsible for the Civil War and neither is Truman.
