Coronavirus Article #1

Coronavirus is a new epidemic hailing from Wuhan, China. Many scientists and teams are prepared to fight this virus. Many companies such as Johnson & Johnson are claiming that they could not only find a vaccine to the virus, but also in the span of just a small six months. The head scientist created an Ebola vaccine in six months, but the way this vaccine is different is that he would have to start it from scratch. Many scientists around the world a trying to come up with the vaccine as the infected rate only rises. CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) has given around 12.5 million dollars to three companies claiming they can create a vaccine. The third group to receive money also boasts that within six months they can come up with a vaccine.

My opinion on this Coronavirus is that although it is not really electing anyone here, it still is a serious subject and many are infected and dying and both numbers are growing surely. I think that these companies and scientists will find a vaccine before this becomes a global plague of some sort, but not within six months. I think that some companies will ‘require more funding’ while they sit back with their money and pretend to be racing against those who want to save themselves and many others. There are definitely scientists who are willing to work hard for what is right though.
