@Globalbiosec @MackayIM curious whether ‘live with the virus’ will mean an endemic outcome, or whether we’re talking about an ongoing epidemic virus, with epidemic waves suppressed by vaccination and some restrictions? /1 https://t.co/0jb8aVWjLy

Also if SARS-Cov2 becomes endemic, the current debates around ‘living with’ need to talk about the consequences of different levels of endemicity, and those varying across the world? Triangulated against generation of strains with varying morbidity and mortality? /2

It feels like there’s an assumption of a comfortable, low endemicity with minimal morbidity and mortality, when the outcome could be wave upon wave of global surges with varying strains? /end
