What have we learnt so far from COVID-19?

Peter C Doherty. Nat Rev Immunol. 2021 Feb.

Abstract

While COVID-19 shows us the enormous power of modern molecular medicine, it also reminds us of the basic contradictions and limitations of the human condition. As it is highly likely we will experience further such events through the twenty-first century, we should regard COVID-19 as a training run for something that could be much worse, and organize our governance, global interactions, institutions and practices accordingly.
