Comments from Australia's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly yesterday, not too encouraging:
- Vaccines to combat deadly coronaviruses "are not easy" and "in fact, up to now we've never had a successful vaccine against a coronavirus,'
- "estimates have varied" as to how long it could take before a vaccine is developed
- "At least months, probably 12 months, possibly 18 months"
So, don't hold your breath (actually that might be a good idea). The prescription for now is continued lock downs, distancing and wash your hands.
