"
SARS-CoV-2 is now circulating out of control worldwide. The only major
limitation on transmission is the immune environment the virus faces. The
disease it causes, COVID-19, is now a risk faced by most people as part of
daily life.
While some are better than others, no national or regional government is making
serious efforts towards infection prevention and control, and it seems likely
this
laissez-faire policy will continue for the foreseeable future. The
social, political, and economic movements that worked to achieve this mass
infection environment can rejoice at their success.
Those schooled in public health, immunology or working on the front line of
healthcare provision know we face an uncertain future, and are aware the
implications of recent events stretch far beyond SARS-CoV-2. The shifts that
have taken place in attitudes and public health policy will likely damage a key
pillar that forms the basis of modern civilized society, one that was built
over the last two centuries; the expectation of a largely uninterrupted upwards
trajectory of ever-improving health and quality of life, largely driven by the
reduction and elimination of infectious diseases that plagued humankind for
thousands of years. In the last three years, that trajectory has reversed."
