"The global pandemic is not yet over. Public health experts suspect it will
last at least another five years, but how this ongoing crisis plays out is
ultimately up to us.

A new report from the International Science Council (ISC), an international
organization who's aim is to unite scientific bodies around the world, has laid
out three scenarios that could occur by 2027.

The report was written by a panel of 20 experts on public health, virology,
economics, behavioral science, ethics, and sociology.

While their commentary isn't an attempt to predict the future, their report
helps narrow down and illustrate some of the possible actions the world can
take to minimize the pandemic's impact going forward.

In the coming years, improving vaccine development and distribution could help
the SARS-CoV-2 virus reach low endemic levels, with only limited, controlled
transmission in most countries."
