Don’t ask when the pandemic will end. Ask how we’re going to live with covid.

Grid – The coronavirus isn’t going anywhere. We need to learn to minimize its impact. “A lot of people think of the pandemic as a hurricane: It has to be completely gone, blue skies,” said Amesh Adalja, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “That’s not the case. This is not an eradicable disease. It’s a fantasy world to think that the only criteria some of these individuals might have [for the pandemic being over] is, it’s 2019 again. That’s not going to be the case.”
