Fingers crossed!!!

The Food and Drug Administration has given Moderna the green light to enter into phase two of trials with its vaccine against the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, in what the Boston biotech firm called a “crucial step forward.”

Phase two will include 600 patients and is planned to begin “shortly,” the company said in a press release Thursday. It is also gearing up for phase three, “which is expected to begin in the early summer of 2020.” That puts Moderna on target to make the vaccine available “as soon as 2021,” it said. But manufacturing would begin sooner. Last week, Moderna’s CEO told CNBC that that firm would start building its stockpile of the vaccine as soon as July.

Great news. In spite of the awful vaccine conspiracy videos going around, this is the game changer we need.

It is good news, but we're still looking at a year of this before a magical vaccine comes in and saves us.

It leaves us no choice but to accept some losses, be smart about it, and soldier on. Like I have said from the start, we need to borrow the British example, Keep Calm and Carry On.

At this rate Covid19 will be history by the time a vaccine appears, just like the first SARS virus.

Exactly.
