And with all this talk of immunity, you might be wondering if a glimpse at pre-COVID normalcy is on the horizon. We put that question to Dr. Coyi but his response wasn't encouraging.

Cherisse Halsall:
"So in your opinion what's the timeline that you see the world continuing to wear the mask?"

Dr. Coye, Public Health Specialist
"That vaccine we have 6-7 billion people. It's a lot of vaccines to be produce and until we get herd immunity for the world, it's at that point, I don't know, but I hazard it will be at least a year to 2 years before we reach there."

As you heard we inch ever closer to that maskless world with every single jab, and later on the News we'll take more of an in-depth look at the expert arguments for vaccination and whether it's right for you and your family.
