They think that they will be out of the pandemic by the end of this year. Yes, we will get over the health impacts of coronavirus.
We won't get rid of the virus, but we will learn to live with it, like other respiratory viruses. “But it is the other impact on economy and society that we have to think about." We have to stop thinking about going back to living like we lived in 2019, but imagine a new future where we would be very cautious about new variants.
