"Even after a vaccine is discovered and deployed, the coronavirus will likely remain for decades to come, circulating among the world’s population."

"Experts call such diseases endemic — stubbornly resisting efforts to stamp them out. Think measles, HIV, chickenpox."


"This virus is here to stay,” said Sarah Cobey, an epidemiologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Chicago. “The question is, how do we live with it safely?”
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
