We need to begin shaping a national strategy for next 2-3 years. We're working day/night to meet aspirational goal of 12-18 months for #COVID19 #vaccine, maybe stars will align? But reality is I think world record for a vaccine from start to finish is 4-5 years, usually 10-25 yrs

Given #COVID19 will likely wax/wane for next two years, I'm recommending @theNASEM convene to develop a roadmap for how America operates over this period, esp with respect to epidemiologic modeling, our health system, govt response, mental health impact, rolling out technologies

There's a misunderstanding out there that America just hunkers down for a year, then a #vaccine magically appears, and everyone goes out to have a nice picnic on the National Mall. It would be nice, it's not impossible, our lab working 24/7, but I think a low probability scenario
