The Search for a Vaccine

Written by: Emma Sears 

Almost the entire world is now in quarantine and we are all experiencing an unprecedented shutdown. Our favorite stores and restaurants are indefinitely closed, our sports and activities are canceled, and we must resort to digital learning for the remainder of the school year. And yet, hope remains: all around the globe, there is increased gratitude and kindness for the healthcare workers who are bravely saving lives and tending to the sick, but most importantly, searching for a cure. 

According to NBC News, NYU has been developing a new vaccine for the coronavirus. The method they are using is unique because it “attempts to reprogram the deadly pathogen rather than manipulate the live virus.” The best part? The researchers working on this specific cure say it could be ready by the end of the summer, an earlier timeline than some originally predicted. 

Even though it is not known how long this pandemic will continue, it is important to maintain the practice of social distancing, follow health guidelines, and of course, wash your hands! We will come out of this stronger. Stay healthy, hopeful, positive, and always be #SpartanStrong.
