A disease expert in New Zealand said in an interview Wednesday that the coronavirus outbreak will “always be with us,” as countries across the globe deal with the threat of a second wave of infections.

“I don’t think we can eliminate the virus long term,” Simon James Thornley, an epidemiologist from the University of Auckland, told the New York Times. “We are going to have to learn to live with the virus.”

Back in April, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a coronavirus press briefing that the world may never return to the “normal” that was known before the outbreak.

He said that we will gradually come back to where we can function as a society again, but, even with a vaccine, the virus will be a looming threat.

"When we get back to normal, we will go back to the point where we can function as a society,” he said. He continued, “If you want to get back to pre-coronavirus, that might not ever happen in the sense that the threat is there.”

Exactly. And this is just another reason why all this lock down BS is completely overboard. We cannot shut down the country or have the media cause mass panic to keep people on edge all the time about the Wu Flu. They need to get over it. There is a distinct possibility there will never be a vaccine for it. It's something we need to deal with going forward. Making businesses close, having people hide in their basements, and wearing mask in perpetuity is NOT something that can be, nor should be, maintained.
