[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remdesivir is/was always a shot in the dark. There are very few antivirals that work on respiratory viruses like flu, coronavirus, rhinovirus, adenovirus. Tamiflu survives because it's the only one, despite some potentially large side effects and the fact *it barely works at all* (reduces course of disease by ~10% / 12 hours). What's needed is a vaccine. And that will take time.[/quote] There were proto-vaccines for SARS that were developed but not fully tested and rolled out. We already have a jumping off point for a covid-19 vaccine.[/quote] Eh. Vaccine development today is a decades old science. We know how to do it. You're not getting a big head start from a SARS vaccine. The hard part is validation, and ramping up production. We're going to have a vaccine in 12-18 months barring some very strange circumstances. But it will be hard to go faster than that. Not impossible. But hard.[/quote]
