During the COVID pandemic, there was one constant question to which we all want the answer: When will things return to normal? The new vaccines provide for many of us a path to something close to normal, but the broader question of when the pandemic will be complete – rather than just managing it – is harder to answer. A new expert review from Bloomberg examined all the variables and worked out an estimate. Unfortunately, this may not be what you want to hear. Read on to find out how much longer the pandemic will be with us, and for more information on the latest vaccination news, check out The CDC says these three side effects mean your vaccination is working.
Bloomberg’s estimate is based on vaccinations. The website, according to them, has built up ‘the largest database of COVID-19 shots around the world’, showing the delivery of more than 186 million shots on 17 February. They measure the progress of different countries around the world via their vaccine detection, and based on their latest estimates, it will take a little less than five years – to be exact – to end the COVID pandemic.
“US scientific officials such as Anthony Fauci suggested that it would take 70 to 85 percent of the population before things would return to normal.
“Worldwide, is the latest vaccination rate 6,337,917 doses per day, “says Bloomberg. At this rate it will take an estimated 4.9 years to cover 75 percent of the population with a two-dose vaccine. ‘And look at This is exactly when we’ll see the next COVID boom, experts warn.
At best, according to Bloomberg’s report on February 4, Israel will vaccinate 75 percent of its population in just two months. At the current rate, the US is on track to reach this percentage by the end of 2021. However, China, Chile and Canada all have almost five years to reach this total.

Viruses mutate and adapt over time, and are likely to have the chance to do so in places where they are not treated, or where large numbers of people spread the virus in them. In short, the more people have the virus, the greater the chance of developing a rogue version that is resistant to existing vaccines and treatments.
The resumption of normal world travel will increase the risk of one of these strains being returned to a country that thought it was clear with COVID. Therefore, GAVI, the global vaccine alliance, emphasizes the need for the virus to be eliminated everywhere, with the principle that ‘no one is safe until everyone is safe’. They warn: “If we fully return to the way people traveled in a pre-pandemic world without a vaccine being widely administered, we will see a relentless progress of COVID-19.” And look for more information on vaccination, The CDC warns you not to do it right before being vaccinated.
Bloomberg researchers emphasize that data in these relatively early stages of vaccinations are volatile and that certain factors can shorten the time frame: Canada’s vaccination program is currently delayed due to delayed shipments, but it has contracts for more vaccines per citizen than any other country. Meanwhile, large vaccine manufacturing centers are only becoming available in Mexico and India, two-thirds of countries have not even started their vaccination programs, and the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine is showing positive results if given just one shot. rather than needing two with a waiting time in between.
In addition, a natural level of herd immunity can develop from both people who have had the disease and recovered, along with those who have been vaccinated before 75 percent of the population gets their chance. It can therefore happily take the world less than five years to fully conquer COVID-19. But it is a reminder that it is a global effort and a great challenge. Meanwhile, the advice to stop COVID from spreading remains the same: wash your hands, wear a mask, keep a social distance and take the vaccine if you have the chance. And experts say for more information on the latest news on the new vaccine. This is who should wait for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
