Speaking at the daily Downing Street news briefing, he said:"I don't think this virus is going anywhere."in one way or another for a long time to come,"Boris Johnson said.

But in spite of the gloomy prediction, Sir Patrick also had an upbeat message, adding:"It's going to stay around. It's going to be around, I think probably forever - but it will be controlled and there is remarkable progress in many areas."The vaccines are being rolled out at an unprecedented pace, we have more vaccines than we could ever have dreamt of a year ago - including ones we can alter as needs be - and we have new medicines coming along, including specific anti-virals.

Mr Johnson added that because we may be living with the virus for some time, it was"an open question as to when and in what way we can start to relax any of the measures".

No shit, virus’ don’t just vanish.

On what evidence as bird flu and swine flu both fekked back off tonthebrespective animal populatikns. They cannot assume the planet won't become immune unless theybalready have the data on that issue so share it!!

I think this manager of Arsenel doesent actually want the Team to win every game ,dont know why .He needs to know that you dont change something that works like he knows who gels, with who so why pick team like that .

Is flu with us forever? Do you worry?

Thanks for sharing that common knowledge

Treatment is the long term solution, as much, perhaps even more important, than a vaccine.

Bit like flu then

Just like the flu and colds will always be around but we will learn how to control it hopefully so we can get back to some sort of normal

I was born over 60 years ago and flu has been with us for all of my days... I believe my memory still works but correct me if I'm wrong but have we ever shut the country down for this virus?

We shall not be moved

You mean Virus will be with us forever and the people will be controlled

As punishment it's policy to give you the plague.

How is this breaking news? Of course it will be with us forever - just like the flu or the common cold is. BUT we will all eventually have some levels of immunity to it just like we do with colds and flu. Ridiculous scaremongering headline.

We might as well all hang ourselves now..

What a stupid fucking comment, more scaremongering once again

It's literally a Psy Op against the general public

Why not try reducing the time between doses as advised in testing by the manufacturer?

The flu and the cold& aids and cancer is here forever. It kills and people also recover. But no hiding or home prison Corona DailyBriefing

The gov should really stop with the statements, because let’s face it - they don’t know shit!!! Which they’ve proven time and time again! 🤦🏾‍♀️
