    Some good news, we already got a vaccine here in Romania - testing it next on human cells in the lab, then tests on volunteers in a month or so - if successful and safe, will go into production soon after.

    https://oncogen.ro/oncogen-vacci…

    paper: https://www.preprints.org/manusc…

    our scientists are making the design and specifics "open source" so everybody can benefit from it (not like other labs are doing, delaying the testing so they can patent it and profit later).

    so yeah, no need for 18 moths of lockdown

    p.s. btw Romanians invented both insulin and a cure for tuberculosis after WWI so we're pretty sure this vaccine could work and we can stop this madness soon enough

    • That's great, but I wonder how long until any vaccine is realistically available due to the time needed for testing.yuekit
    • There is also a trial beginning in Seattle.

    • Fantastic. Black sea here I come!srhadden
    • Tests on volunteers, 3 phases: 10 100 1000 people, should be safe already, this is just "tagging" proteins so that the immune system can destroy the virusgrafician
    • i beliefe they need to wait some time in phase 3 to see how effective it is, how long it stays active. probably up to 6-12 months..uan
    • good news but there's many of these stories, unfortunately many drugs may work at dev stage but fail in human trails.shapesalad
