With current knowledge, even in the absence of COVID-19 vaccines or treatments and comprehensive knowledge of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, countries can navigate pathways to reduced transmission, decreased severe illness and mortality, and less economic disruption in the short and longer term.	./cache/cord-283196-laerx0n2.txt	./txt/cord-283196-laerx0n2.txt
