i keep reading reports that the clinical trials are going unbelievably good and the results have been very promising. Mass producing it will be the next hurdle. I honestly can't wait to get the vaccine.

Except that if it’s China, or the US or the UK that reach the goal line first they will monetize the cure.

Speculation.

That wouldn’t sit well, a global pandemic should be eradicated by a global cure.

Should be, but every nation insists on working independently.

i've read the same things and have been very optimistic.

...until yesterday when i saw that the virus has been mutating at a very fast rate. that means, that even if there is a vaccine, it could be of the influenza variety meaning it's helpful but it's not a silver bullet.

add in factors of availability and people actually accepting it (thanks anti-vaxxers!), and it seems that we're still far from daylight.

so how's that for a cheery way of saying 'good morning.'

whichever company makes it will definitely make a nice profit (like the industry already isn't) but it won't be cost prohibitive in my opinion.

the real issue will be availability. which company produces the vaccine first and more importantly which country the company is associated with will be more important than cost.

when billions of doses are needed, where is your country or province or city in the queue to get shipment?

RUSSIAN cyber actors are targeting organisations involved in coronavirus vaccine development, UK security officials have revealed.
....
Known targets of APT29 include UK, US and Canadian vaccine research and development organisations. The group uses a variety of tools and techniques, including spear-phishing and custom malware known as “WellMess” and “WellMail”.

(anxiously waits for booner to tell us that it's fake news because it's all one conspiracy against russia.)

On a different note but similar note kaptaan is spreading his conspiracy theories and racism in the Leaf's thread. They are so lucky to have him.

I think kaptaan was always a leaf troll only in our thread to disrupt.

One-third of children who have been tested for the coronavirus in Florida have tested positive, according to data from the state’s Department of Health.

Of the 54,022 people under the age of 18 who have been tested for COVID, 16,797 of them (roughly 31%) have tested positive.

It's a failure by leadership of epic proportions.

It's crazy to think that the wealthiest (debatable) country in the world is nearly doubling any other country in damage at this point.

Now, i'll concede that the ease of transportation has accelerated the spread vs other countries. They'll still likely be top 5-10 in casualties once the dust settles.

All the man had to do was listen to his advisors.

The numbers are rising among young people here as well. The under 40 rates are going up with a bullet.

Sorry, this man takes advice from no one.
I don't know, maybe he has someone read the sesame seeds left in his Big Mac container.

For the life of me I can’t understand how it happened. I mean, can Trump have that much influence over common sense?

Yeah, I read about that. Also mentioned the virus mutating. I hope we won’t be chasing our tails for years trying to contain this thing.

I still can't even believed how Trump ever happened. WTF were you thinking America?

I've been thinking about this for awhile. They will launch a vaccine and eventually updates will be included in the seasonal flu shot. However, seasonal flu numbers will rise and the next pandemic will be compared to it.

The planet is telling us something.

Whenever I think that, I go back to the South Park episode of the douche vs the turd. It was dark but honest in a South Park way.
