>Speaking during a virtual news conference from Geneva, Ryan said the world should prepare for the possibility that a vaccine for COVID-19 will not be found. Even if one eventually is developed, it would still take a “massive effort” to distribute it worldwide and control the virus — a “massive moonshot.”
>“It is important to put this on the table: This virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away,” he said. “I think it is important we are realistic and I don’t think anyone can predict when this disease will disappear. I think there are no promises in this and there are no dates. This disease may settle into a long problem, or it may not be.”
>Ryan said that one way or another, humanity may have to learn to cope with COVID-19. “HIV has not gone away — but we have come to terms with the virus,” he said, pointing out that while there is a vaccine for measles, it has not been eradicated, showing a vaccine does not automatically make the virus go away.

is this bullish?
