Oxford University thinks it will probably have a viable, fully tested vaccine by September. Oxford is a serious outfit, so we can assume the statement below isn't hyperbole.

"British coronavirus vaccine could be just WEEKS away as Oxford Uni say they’re ‘80% confident’ new drug will work...

The drug is set to be tested in a six-month trial of 510 volunteers in the Thames Valley region with the progress so far being described as "astonishing"."

World Health envoy warns coronavirus will 'stalk the human race for quite a long time'

A top envoy to the World Health Organization warned Sunday that the coronavirus will be a "virus that stalks the human race for quite a long time" until a vaccine is developed.

In an exclusive interview with "Meet the Press," Dr. David Nabarro, a special envoy to the WHO, said that there are signs that the rate of new infections could be beginning to slow in the United States and Europe but that the virus is still advancing elsewhere.

"The key for this particular virus is that every community has a kind of defensive shield, can pick up cases as soon as they appear, isolate them, and stop outbreaks from developing," he said.
