Vaccines:

countries across the world began pouring investments into research into the virus.

A notable example of this was from when the US department of Health and Human Services started a program called “Operation Warp Speed”. Then in the early of December the UK had approved a COVID vaccine followed later by other countries. Then finally, the first person in the world received a COVID vaccine (specifically Pfizer),

Margaret Keenan. Here in the UK the only people who were eligible for the vaccine were those who lived in care homes (and their carers) and all who were above the age of 80. As the vaccine (and the different variations/ brands of it) became more available more and more people became eligible to receive the vaccine with many getting their second jabs and now recently people starting to get their boosters. Vaccines were going to help tremendously to reduce deaths and lessen the amount of people with severe symptoms. With vaccine roll out happening all across the world countries could ease out of lockdown as the spreading of the virus would be limited by immunity. Shops and the entertainment industry could open up again with people returning to them. Life could return to somewhat normal.
