A member asked:

I just heard a doctor on the news say that eventually, we will all get infected [with the new coronavirus.] how likely is this prediction to be true?

Not likely: Majority being exposed, maybe. For everybody else the vaccine is expected to provide some immunity.

COVID 19: I agree with Dr. Pasniciuc. I don't agree with a doctor who says we will all get infected by COVID 19. If a safe and effective vaccine is developed and is used by the majority of the population, that would go a long way in protecting us. In the meantime, social isolation, use of masks, and other precautions will help to stem transmission.
