Time for what? Like I said. Time for finding any meaningful way to treat people. Even just something that eases the symptoms will save a lot of lives. Many diseases used to be a death sentence before modern medicine found a way to treat them. Or if not that, maybe we can find an effective way to limit the spread. Maybe we all will have to wear facemasks for the next two years? There are many levels between just letting a disease attack people freely and eradicating it.

And as the WHO reiterated today, there is currently no evidence that people won't get it again after recovering. So if you do feel the need to already paint the doomsday scenario that not a single person comes up with a meaningful idea in limiting this disease for two years then please also consider that and compare the consequences.
