■ COVID‐19 Report
Continued From Page 18 case of an individual who went into remission and relapse . But I can say with confidence that it is very unlikely .
Dr . Francis Collins : So . you ’ re saying this is a pretty good virus for a vaccine to work . It has the ability where natural infection does seem to be protective . It doesn ' t seem to mutate too rapidly , compared to other viruses ? Dr . Anthony Fauci : That is fair . It ’ s an RNA virus . And , as we know , RNA viruses mutate but the functional consequence of that mutation so far doesn ' t look to be impressive .
Dr . Francis Collins : People are feeling like this is never going to come to an end . The uncertainty and the anxiety are weighing on them . And many people have seen loved ones fall ill , or even die . Is there ever going be a better time for us ? Dr . Anthony Fauci : I can say , as a public health person , as a scientist , it will end . We will get through this for absolutely certain . We ’ ve already suffered through a lot of pain — a lot of economic and personal pain and inconvenience . But it will end . It will end because the public health efforts will succeed ultimately . And science will get us through this . We will get a vaccine . We will get therapies for early disease and for late disease . So , the only message that I think we can jointly tell the American public and the global public is that we will get through this .
Dr . Fauci said , " We are now working with the companies to start making doses before we even know whether it works or not . So when we get to the winter in the early part of 2021 , we will start to have a large number of doses that people will be able to use if it turns out to be safe and effective ."
