A sustained six-week decline in coronavirus daily cases in the United States has many experts optimistic that we have made a major turnaround in the pandemic. Although experts believe that wearing masks and social distance is still the key, according to a representative of the World Health Organization (WHO), it may not take much longer before we no longer need COVID restrictions. Read on to see when the organization says we will be able to return to normal, and to see what you do can do after vaccination, go see Dr. Fauci has just confirmed that you can do this after being vaccinated.
While talking to the Danish state news service DR on 21 February, Hans Kluge, Managing Director, WHO’s Regional Director for Europe, said he believes COVID-19 will remain a major issue for the rest of this year. But, he said, outbreaks will be much easier to deal with than they were in 2020, and there will be fewer and fewer, Turkish state news service Anadolu Agency report. He further predicted that the security measures currently in place could probably be safely removed by early 2022.
“There will still be a virus, but I do not think restrictions will be necessary,” Kluge said. “This is an optimistic message.” And for Fauci’s prediction about one limitation in particular, go look at Dr. Fauci Just Said Exactly When we no longer need masks.
Kluge remained cautiously optimistic, saying he believes the worst thrusts are behind him, mainly thanks to the new treatments and the knowledge that we should encounter any new outbreaks. He nevertheless warned that the vaccination process should be transparent, mentioning that the next major problem is likely to occur when people who are vaccinated first start mixing with those who have not been vaccinated.
The director also pointed out that although many infectious new variants of the virus can put a strain on some countries and that it still needs to be monitored, he is confident that existing vaccines can still provide the necessary protection to prevent serious diseases.

Although the WHO might offer an optimistic outlook in the coming months, some others have recently argued that the timeline could be drastically shorter. In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal on February 18 Marty Makary, MD, a surgeon and a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, argued that “there is reason to think that the country is rushing to an extremely low level of infection, and predicts that” according to the current job, I expect COVID to mostly disappear in April, which will enable Americans to resume normal life. ‘
Makary’s argument that widespread natural immunity would quickly lead to a return to normalcy, however, was quickly provoking controversy. “I’m not so sure it’s herd immunity we’re talking about,” White House adviser said Anthony Fauci, Managing director, said about the open during an appearance on NBCs Meet the press On February 21, he further explained that the decline in cases means we are likely to see a natural peak and descend due to a boom celebrated by the holidays.

Despite the WHO forecast, other experts believe the virus will probably never really go away. During an appearance on CBS Face the Nation, Scott Gottlieb, Managing director, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said: “I do not really think we are ever going to achieve true herd immunity, and warn that ‘it will not be like measles or smallpox where it’s just so it goes away. COVID continues to circulate at a low level. ‘
This warning has also been previously issued by other experts in light of highly contagious mutated versions of the virus. “There are serious concerns that the proliferation of new COVID-19 variants, the achievement of herd immunity needed to end the pandemic, could be difficult, if not impossible,” Christopher Murray, Managing Director, Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, said in a statement issued on February 4th. “While it is possible to achieve herd immunity by next winter, it seems increasingly unlikely that we will do so, and in light of that, we should all change our expectations.” And for more information on when there will be another increase in cases may be, look at This is exactly when we will see the next COVID surge, experts warn.
