WIRED's Nick Thompson and Adam Rogers discuss the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic, from testing to vaccines to the ways our world is changing.

We need a coronavirus vaccine to beat the pandemic, but that's a problem. Why? Because making a Covid-19 vaccine that works (and is safe) will take a long time. Even the most hopeful estimates suggest it could take a year, but some believe we may have to wait until the end of 2021 to have a working cure, and that's before we tackle the problem of immunising the whole world. In this video we explore the challenges facing those looking to create a coronavirus vaccine, how human trials work and explain why developing a cure for coronavirus will take such a long time.

When US consumers started spending more time at home during the pandemic, they also started using social media more, providing an unexpected boost to engagement on these platforms. The coronavirus has hastened the development and popularity of new live streaming, video chat and gaming features on social networks.

In the most recent May 1–3 survey, 51% of total respondents — 60% of those ages 18 to 34, 64% of those ages 35 to 49, and 34% of those ages 65 and up – reported increased usage on certain social media platforms.
