RESUMEN

La pandemia de Covid-2 ha cambiado muchas cosas. Se ha tornado todo hacia la virtualidad, ha aumentado la vida familiar pero ha cerrado otras como bares, restaurantes y colegios. Ha impactado de manera profunda la economía, esperándose un retorno lento hacia la normalidad. El descubrimiento de una vacuna pareciera ser la solución a todo esto. Hoy hay una carrera entre diversos laboratorios por la investigación de la vacuna y en esa carrera están implicados los políticos. La administración Trump ha impulsado tratamientos para luego retractarse. La FDA ha sido laxa y sugiere aprobar de manera rápida una vacuna. En Colombia se ha nombrado una comisión para visitar países y tratar de garantizar la adquisición de vacunas e incluso autorizar en el país los estudios fase 3.
