There may never be a 'silver bullet' for COVID-19, WHO warns
GENEVA - The World Health Organization warned on Monday that there might never be a"silver bullet" for COVID-19 in the form of a perfect vaccine and that the road to normality would be long, with some countries requiring a reset of strategy.
"The message to people and governments is clear: 'Do it all'," Tedros told a virtual news briefing from the U.N. body's headquarters in Geneva. He said face masks should become a symbol of solidarity round the world. But he underscored uncertainties."There are concerns that we may not have a vaccine that may work, or its protection could be for just a few months, not more. But until we finish the clinical trials, we will not know."Ryan said countries with high transmission rates, including Brazil and India, needed to brace for a big battle:"The way out is long and requires a sustained commitment," he said, calling for a"reset" of approach in some places.
