Unfortunately, due to poor governance, we may even have to wait for a vaccine just to get out of this stupid mess. Some countries especially those who took quick action like NZ have already rid themselves of the virus. Meaning we don't really meed a vaccine but a strict and sound contingency plan that will help eradicate the virus. But no, my country's more on stupid stuff so yeah.
You wont able to say so because there are countries that are in ahead with technology and funding but do still lack with proper discipline into its citizens and knowing that they are
in bigger population and too big as a country then its really hard to control or isolate such virus unlike on smaller countries where if proper discipline plus good government handling in regards to
protocol then theres no doubt that it would be controlled somehow but doesnt mean that they would be totally covid-free country.We do need that vaccine but it would surely takes
time yet there would be lots of test samples that will really be needed before it would be produced officially.Taking the early doses will not really be that too appealing for my part
yet side effects havent been known.
I believe to really contain the continuous spread of the virus is to have vaccine. Because even if there are some countries that have very low number of cases owed to the discipline of its people, still to go back to at least normal life, is to have the vaccine. You will not be comfortable going out if you know that you will be vulnerable to infection anytime.
This virus will stay for long time in human history, and in time, scientists will come up to more potent vaccine that will eventually end this covid era. Just like other viruses that hit humanity.
