Is the COVID-19 pandemic's end in sight? "We're going to live with the virus," Dr. David Agus says

The director of the World Health Organization said this week that "the end is in sight" for the coronavirus pandemic. CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus said although he believes the U.S. is "at the end of the pandemic," COVID-19 is not necessarily "over."

"I do think COVID-19 is going to continue," Agus told "CBS Mornings" on Friday. "It is not going to be a pandemic that shuts things down. We're going to live with the virus. We're not going to hide from it. People are still going to get it."

The physician said booster shots and Pfizer's Paxlovid pill will help keep people from dying or being hospitalized from the virus.
