The WHO has disclosed that the #COVID19 might be a disease here to stay with humans, just like Malaria. Adding that though a vaccine might later come into play, But may not completely annihilate the disease.
New coronavirus clusters have surfaced around the world as nations struggle to balance reopening economies and preventing a second wave of infections. A top World Health Organization official, meanwhile, warned that it’s possible the new coronavirus may be here to stay.
"This virus may never go away, I think it’s important to put this on the table,” Dr. Michael Ryan said,
“This virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities,” he said, noting that other previously novel diseases like HIV have never disappeared.
Authorities in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the pandemic first began late last year, reportedly were pressing ahead Wednesday to test all 11 million residents for the virus within 10 days after a handful of new infections were found.
A top WHO official warned against expecting a coronavirus vaccine to provide a quick, complete end to the pandemic. "We have some perfectly effective vaccines on this planet that we have not used effectively," he said. "This virus may never go away."
