Well the Dr's I heard used the words "very promising" and "expect", but let's shelf that since we're pretty close. What about the plasma? Lol. And not to mention the drug(s) that have been shown to get people off the vent? Seems like the outlook we collectively have is not consistent with these things? I'm ready to safely get in the parks and buy each and every one of you idiot/geniuses a drink.I love your enthusiasm and I’m right there with you hoping both those things pan out. The Oxford group is in the most advanced stage of clinic trials right now for their vaccine. Their phase 2 and 3 trial is being conducted simultaneously. They said they expect to know by some time in June whether the vaccine works or not. There will still be additional testing after that but their hope is to have a vaccine ready for public use by September. It would be on an emergency basis at first but as they ramp up production it could be rolled out to the public before the end of the year. Outside of that one, most of the other vaccines under development are targeting early 2021 as their earliest timeframe. The plasma thing sounds more promising to be a shorter term solution to bridge the gap until a vaccine.
