Corona: Ooit houdt het op - Bert Hubert's writings
a day ago
- Despite high infection numbers, society is largely open due to vaccines, which have reduced severe illness and death compared to a year ago.
- Vaccines, boosters, and new treatments like Molnupiravir and Paxlovid are improving protection and reducing hospitalizations.
- The virus continues to spread as behavior normalizes, but scientific progress is outpacing the virus, with better vaccines and treatments on the horizon.
- The end of the pandemic depends on balancing public behavior with scientific advances; following rules and testing wisely can speed up the return to normal life.
- New variants remain a possibility, but current vaccines still work against severe disease, and adapted vaccines can be produced quickly if needed.
