Here’s why there’s some hope for controlling the Covid pandemic

CNN  

CNN — The US keep breaking records in the coronavirus pandemic. Offit believes that things “are soon going to get dramatically better.” Vaccines Two Covid vaccines licensed for use in the US under emergency use authorization are “remarkably effective,” Offit said. “We can see a light at the end of the tunnel,” he said, adding that vaccines “show us a way forward.” States are still struggling to get vaccines into people’s arms. The incoming administration Offit is also hopeful about the incoming Biden administration, noting that President-elect Joe Biden’s team “isn’t into this cult of denialism” that surrounded the Trump administration’s coronavirus response, and would “take this problem head on.” Benjamin believes the Biden team will make more use of the Defense Production Act to ensure that there is a steady, reliable supply of vaccine. We achieved some kind of equilibrium, got to herd immunity and it ended.” Notes of caution “I think that there’s tremendous potential that this pandemic will end in 2021, before the end of the year for sure, maybe even before autumn,” said Dr. Aaron Glatt, spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America and chairman of the department of medicine at Mount Sinai South Nassau.
