"(CNN)In the years after coronavirus, nothing will be as it was
before, Pulitzer-prize winning public health journalist Laurie
Garrett said Thursday.
I think we're going to get four, five years from now and there will not be a single aspect of our lives that's been unchanged," she said at CNN's ongoing coronavirus townhall. "It's almost impossible to really fully envision what that will look like."
Most states in the US are phasing out of restrictions put in place to curb the spread of coronavirus. And while businesses are slowly opening again, an influential model often cited by the White House has said the death toll from the virus could exceed 130,000 by August. Meanwhile, some local leaders have said their communities are not ready to undo the restrictions.
The lack of a unified approach in addressing the pandemic may cause problems in eradicating the virus – even with a vaccine, Garrett said.
"The virus will continue to circulate in the world, regardless of whether or not there's a vaccine – unless we're committed to a strategic goal of really getting rid of the virus from the planet with the appropriate implementation of vaccine for everybody: 7.5 billion human beings.""
