Get excited -- there are several emerging technologies that are absolutely worth holding out for!
One is high-powered air cleaning in public spaces through safe forms of ultraviolet light -- including the old but not yet widely used technology of upper-room UV (https://ghdcenter.hms.harvard.edu/keeping-public-spaces-safe)and the emerging technology of far UV.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67211-2)
Another is intranasal vaccines,(https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.add9947) which create "mucosal immunity" specifically in the nose and thus block infection and transmission (not just symptomatic disease) much more efficiently than our current "intramuscular" (ie. injection-based) covid vaccines.
Additionally, scientists are working on a "universal" coronavirus vaccine, which would combat the constant immune evasion of new covid variants by providing immunity to all (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220815-the-hunt-for-a-universal-covid-19-jab)coronaviruses.(https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2022/09/02/hopeful-new-entry-in-the-race-for-a-universal-covid-vaccine/?sh=68fdb74312be)
And finally, the authors of this page believe that with sufficient focus and effort, it must be possible to develop a truly workable, protective clear face mask.
