Coronavirus vaccine no silver bullet, warns QUB virologist

As the Executive prepares to debate the effectiveness of Northern Ireland's Covid restrictions on Thursday, a leading virologist has warned that even a vaccine will not be the instant 'silver bullet' that many were hoping for and that changes to our lives will be in place for some time. Others suggested that while lockdown was bringing the R-number down, only changes to behaviour would keep it down. It came as a further 10 deaths from Covid-19 were reported by the Department of Health on Wednesday, bringing the total to 740.
