Coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) 18482
Public health officials and infectious disease experts have already said that the coronavirus is likely to become endemic. That is, it will always be present, although probably not on the same scale as now.
During a discussion at the JPMorgan Healthcare conference, Bansel agreed that COVID-19 is likely to become endemic, stating, “The coronavirus is going nowhere.” “We will live with this virus forever.”
Bansel also added that the United States would become one of the countries that would provide “sufficient protection” against the virus.
The Moderna vaccine has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use by Americans 18 years of age and older. More studies are still needed in children whose immune systems may react differently to the drug than in adults.
According to the World Health Organization, there are now four mutations in COVID-19 that are endemic throughout the world, but are less contagious or deadly.
