    I accuse Trump of not having mastered the crisis properly. He downplayed the danger and reacted too late.

    Well, they say it takes a village.
    Wuhan's death toll could be astronomically higher than the Chinese government has reported, some residents say

    Real coronavirus death toll may NEVER be discovered as China ‘burns bodies to hide true scale’

    Yeap look how great China is who caused this global pandemic and insured it decimated the world. Partisan's going to partisan, it's literally not worth the effort.

    Operation Warp Speed: Trump admin hoping to have 100 million vaccine doses — by year’s end

    [​IMG]

    Soon?

    Trump boldy launches “Operation Warp Speed,” the program will pull together private pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and the military to cut the development time for a vaccine by as much as eight months, one of the people said.

    There are at least 70 different coronavirus vaccines in development by drugmakers and research groups. But drugmakers have not coordinated their efforts to the extent they could through the Warp Speed project.

    The Defense Department would make its animal research resources available for pre-clinical work on vaccines.

    The group is also discussing the use of what’s known as a master protocol to test the vaccines. Instead of multiple clinical trials run by each drugmaker, competing for patients and resources, the government would organize one large trial to test several vaccines at once and advance the most promising ones.

    Last I checked, we were the 3rd largest population behind China#1 and India#2. India has performed a pathetic amount of testing compared to US, and China is almost universally presumed to be hiding their true numbers. Which means how many infected we have isn't comparably representative of anything objective. Yet.

    Normally mass production of a vaccine doesn’t begin until clinical trials are over and the vaccine has proven successful. That means a lag of months between the time we know it works and the time people can finally begin to get vaccinated.

    Trump will start mass manufacturing millions of doses of each of the most promising vaccine candidates earlier in the process. Once clinical trials are finished and we know which candidate is most effective, that vaccine will roll out immediately to doctor’s offices and pharmacies for delivery to the public.

    Operation Warp Speed isn’t about having *some* doses of vaccine by year’s end, but — 100 million, enough to get the entire country well along the path to herd immunity.

    Oxford researchers continue to sound bullish about their version and believe it could be “widely available” by September(!!). The world’s largest drug manufacturer, based in India, is planning to start production next month in the hope/expectation that subsequent clinical trials will confirm its effectiveness.

    Pfizer is planning to start testing on its own vaccine next week with authorization on an emergency basis possible by fall and full approval by the end of the year.

    Moderna is aiming to start its final phase of testing by fall and possibly to seek approval by the start of 2021.

    Did you also believe the Chinese government when they said that only 200 to 300 people died at Tiananmen Square?

    I believe what sounds plausible to me. The way everyone does. :)
