For the moment being

 'For the moment being' (look up this interesting expression in LINGUEE) and try to use it in your comments.

We will just have to still comply with all the Covid protocol and regulations and I am sure we will all sort out any difficulties we may come across. Anyway, the flock or herd imminuty required to reach a high level of safety is closer and closer with the vaccination of the younger population.
