Taking the Longer View of COVID‐19 2020-04-27 .txt text/plain 1810 88 39 In the absence of a vaccine or effective antivirals, social distancing is currently the primary public health strategy for containing the epidemic and has been successful in South Korea and China, where it was stringently employed. Regarding the chances of creating an effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection, in the U.S. the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) of the Department of Health and Human Services is devoting significant support for two currently approved trials: a lipid nanoparticle vaccine that contains mRNAs directing the synthesis of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (Moderna) and an adenovirus construct of virus material co-supported by Johnson & Johnson [1] . However, vaccine development and its worldwide implementation, coupled with effective antiviral treatment, will be required to control COVID-19 and prevent another pandemic. In order to be ready for the next iteration of COVID-19, the worldwide medical community will need to cooperate in conducting extensive clinical trials of vaccines, antivirals, and immune therapies on an accelerated time scale. ./cache/cord-257258-hu9oxea1.txt ./txt/cord-257258-hu9oxea1.txt
