What could be the next 5 years: scientists gave three likely outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet. Public health experts suspect it will last at least another five years..

A new report from the International Science Council (ISC) outlines three scenarios that could happen by 2027, Science Alert reports..

The report was reportedly written by a group of 20 experts in public health, virology, economics, behavioral sciences, ethics and sociology..

Scenario one If the percentage of people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 increases to more than 80% worldwide, many lives could be saved and the risk of new strains could be reduced.

But even under such an optimistic scenario, the coronavirus is reportedly not going to go away.? but its distribution will become much more manageable.

Scenario two According to scientists, this option is more likely. It implies that the vaccination rate worldwide will be below 70%. The new coronavirus could become endemic with seasonal outbreaks that would overburden hospitals in many countries and require "

Vulnerable people such as women, children and the elderly will be hardest hit. Meanwhile, low-income countries face future health system collapse.

Scenario three This is the worst-case pandemic scenario in which less than 60% of the world's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and poor countries have limited access to the vaccine and antivirals.

“As a result, COVID-19 remains largely uncontrolled, with severe relapses in some parts of the world,” the report says..

Avoiding this grim reality, experts say, governments need to collaborate and invest in health systems, integrate systems of scientific advice, and address growing inequalities in education and wealth..

Recall, Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko said that the coronavirus in Ukraine has not disappeared, but the incidence has declined.
