“The exit to this situation is by the development of a vaccine; a vaccine which can be distributed to all the populations and a vaccine which works. This is a world which we need to live up to. It’s a world where we need to invest more in health. It’s a world where we need to tackle this pandemic so that we will have a healthy world which is promoting a wealthy world."
