Status on a vaccine? How long are we in this for?

Since the coronavirus won't go away until a fully tested and working vaccine comes out, what are the new current estimates?

Does anyone know any updates? Finding it hard to search through all the "noise" to find an update on this.

The lead doctor said we could have something ready for the general public in 18 months
Trump claims he "feels " it could be much sooner

i imagine they will find some things to reduce the severity when you do catch it in the meantime.

hopefully its not like a flu shot where you hope its the strain they think it will be.

I think I know why it will take 18 months to get a vaccine......
Virologist salary = $71,720 a year (Virologist work on the study of virus's)
Lebron James = $467,000 per game played :roll:

The baloney detection kit, fallacy of logic #11, non sequitur — Latin for “It doesn’t follow”

Lebron plays a game that takes only hours to play. It's also a league where one exceptional player such as Lebron can often be the determining factor in success. Virologists work at one step of a long process, each step taking weeks or many months to complete and no matter how exceptional the virologist is, the work may be undone by later large trial testing.

So, Lebron is actually worth what he's paid, based upon the value of wins that he contributes to the team. Virologists probably are underpaid, given the value of their work and education required but citing Lebron doesn't justify your conclusion. Still, the process is invariably sped up by the organization's ability to hire more than one and so, their salary may be justified. Two average virologists may be more valuable to have working on this problem compared to one really good one.

Baloney detection kit says your post earned three baloney sandwiches.

Clayton Kershaw plays 31 games a year......$1,000,000 per game.....and has never helped created a vaccine...

Clayton Kershaw signed a three-year, $93 million contract with the Dodgers in the offseason. The deal pays him $31 million per year. He did not pitch in the first couple weeks of the regular season, but if he were to average 31 starts in a season, Kershaw would make roughly $1 million per start.

There are about 20 protoype vaccines, now comes 12-18 months of trials to determine if they are safe and effective.
