The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought a number of major global clinical, sociological and economic issues into sharp focus. We address some of these issues, focusing on short-term factors such as virus mutations and vaccine efficacy, and also considering the longer-term implications of the current pandemic. We discuss societal responses to the presence of a pathogen that will probably remain in circulation for decades or longer, and to future new emergent viruses.
当前的 SARS-CoV-2 大流行引发了许多重大的全球临床、社会学和经济问题。我们关注其中的一些问题，重点讨论短期因素，如病毒突变和疫苗效力，同时也考虑当前大流行的长期影响。我们讨论了社会对可能会在未来几十年甚至更长时间内继续传播的病原体以及未来新出现的病毒的反应。
