PREFACE
In not even a year after the discovery of COVID-19, several vaccines have been licensed and hundreds of millions of people will be vaccinated within months. Soon the number of severe COVID-19 cases will plummet, people at risk will no longer die, and after the vaccination of younger people, Long COVID will retreat too.
There are no analogies to describe COVID-19 vaccine development. A feat that greatly exceeds the achievements of the moon landings? There is no doub that by creating COVID vaccines in record time, science has given us a humbling demonstration of what it can achieve. Nevertheless, we are not out of the woods yet. Nature, too, has demonstrated that it can strike back. If the new variants are confirmed to increase transmissibility (and, possibly, severity) of SARS-CoV-2 on a global scale, the race may be on again. In 2021, let’s perfect our skills of physical distancing and continue to wear face masks. Let’s take it as a convenient rehearsal exercise for future pandemics. It isn’t fun but it must be done.
