Are we close to getting a vaccine?
Yes.
Will it stop the pandemic even if moderately effective?
Yes.
How?
We don& #39;t need the virus to vanish for the pandemic to end, we just need to control the number of new infections and decease load on hospitals.

But immunity declines after six months, what about that?
Doesn& #39;t matter, if it comes to that, we can take the COVID vaccine every six months, a small price to pay for this devastating disease.
Will everything be as before, and when?
Yes, gradually.

Yes, gradually, as more and more people get vaccinated.
When will masks become unnecessary?
They may become unnecessary by law, but you should continue wearing one, it& #39;s a good habit.
When will we finally have the vaccine?
The vaccine/s already exist, they are in trials.

I am getting tired, everyone will eventually get COVID, I might as well party.
No, false, as long as you keep protecting yourself, there& #39;s a high chance you won& #39;t catch the virus.
Keep wearing your mask at *all* times.
