“The virus still has a huge amount of kinetic energy out there in society. And what we’ve learned is even when you take the kinetic energy out, there’s just a huge amount of potential energy left.” @DrMikeRyan to @HelenBranswell (1/x) statnews.com/2021/02/09/a-q…
“And unless and until a huge proportion of the world’s population is immune to this virus, the potential energy in the virus will remain. It’s a fact.”
“What I see emerging ultimately is a Covid-19 control program, hopefully integrated into our influenza control program, so we have a much better way of dealing with respiratory viruses as ongoing threats.”
“If we have to update vaccines every year, if we have to give people a booster shot every year, particularly the vulnerable, then so be it. It’s just another control program. One where we’re in control. I think we have to evolve into that. But we’re not ready to go there yet.”
“I was asked the other day on Facebook: ‘When can we get back to our old lives, the old normal?’ And I said: ‘I don’t want to go back there. It wasn’t a safe place. — for our planet, or for social justice or for extremism or for human health.’” (X/x)
