COVID pandemic could be over within 2 years: WHO

Addressing a virtual press briefing, the WHO chief said the Spanish flu of 1918 had also taken two years to overcome but the current advances in technology could enable the world to halt the COVID-19 pandemic “in a shorter time”.

“Of course, with more connectiveness, the virus has a better chance of spreading. But at the same time, we have also the technology and the knowledge to stop it.”
