New variants will hinder but not stop our battle against Covid – The Irish Times
Vaccines are coming to the rescue, but more work must be done by scientists, governments and the public
Thanks to vaccines it looks like we will win the war against Covid-19, but the rules of engagement have changed as a result of the emergence of variants, and it could be a long and rocky road before we are out of the woods and back to normality.
