May 13, 2020 "We have a new virus entering the human population for the first time and therefore it is very difficult to predict when we will be able to prevail over it." This was stated by Mike Ryan, head of the WHO emergency program, the World Health Organization.

Even HIV has not disappeared
"This virus could become just another endemic virus in our communities and may never disappear. HIV has not disappeared. I am not comparing the two diseases, but I think it is important that we are realistic. I don't think that no one can predict when or if this disease will disappear, "he added, explaining that Covid-19 could also merge with other viruses that appear every year.

Hopefully in a vaccine
With a vaccine "we may have a chance to eliminate this virus, but that vaccine will have to be available, it will have to be highly effective, it will have to be made available to everyone and we will have to use it."  

It will be a pandemic for a long time
WHO warns that "there is still a long way to go" before Covid-19 is no longer considered a pandemic. The director general of the agency, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urges "to put politics aside and give priority to peace, a global ceasefire to put an end to this pandemic together".
