Good luck with that.
Agreed with your pessimism. There's no way the vaccine will be the defining factor.

My personal opinion is accurate, rapid testing will be the savior. We've seen already within a few weeks of the virus that testing was able to scaled quickly with accurate results. My thoughts are that a rapid test, with 99.9% accurate results will become available at some point in the future that can be scaled on massive levels, and you will require one on check in at the airport.

Rapid COVID tests are now taking place at both DXB and FCO airports . I’m not certain of their accuracy levels , but no doubt the authorities at these locations would paint a positive picture .

Interesting, thanks Dave. I believe the new Covid normal will include rapid testing at any event where large crowds gather. Cruise ships, concerts, conventions etc.

I just don't see how it's feasible to rely on a vaccine that will be rushed to market like nothing has in history before, with a high level of effectiveness, and making it compulsory.
