The Chinese Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced on 18 March that a vaccine for the COVID-19 coronavirus, developed by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), has been approved for clinical trials.

The subunit vaccine has apparently been approved for safe testing on humans by an undisclosed (and therefore unverified) third party.

Preparations for mass production of the vaccine are also under way, the MND stated.

The team of PLA scientists worked under senior bioengineer Maj Gen Chen Wei. He has been conducting research in Wuhan, where the COVID-19 outbreak began.

A subunit vaccination includes a fragment of the pathogen that can initiate an immune response.

All I can say is that I hope it works.

either the Chinese or the EU will soon come with something, even if not 100% effective it will be worth a try.

With respect. No vaccine is 100% effective but anything over 90% would be really good .

Quoted, well just because plain old backwards American medicine has saved my life a couple of times.

you are correct, I meant as effective as a flu vaccine.

considering the size of the emergency and with so many labs working together on this we should soon see a vaccine, but it has to be soon as by the end of the year most of us will have contracted it and be immune.

OK cool.

Sure hope I get to pass on the contracted and immune part. 69 yrs old with maybe between 45% to 60% lung function on a good day makes me a prime candidate for a body bag if I get it.

Wow, stay safe because you are most definitely in the high risk group. A Cold War era style underground steel bunker would be ideal for you right now.

DON'T PANIC! (Thank You Douglas Adams.)

I am 75 and my warranty ran out at 70.
That is when several, taken for granted, operations scaled down but thanks to the supposedly horrible
U,S. healthcare system I am still kicking. (Fortunately not the bucket though.)

Everything is all Chicken Little right now but, unless the Planet has decided a cull of Humanity is necessary, it will pass.
If it does not, oh well. smile

Agreed Sunchaser.

I figure I have been living the bonus round since I was declared cancer free in late 2015, so it's all good.

C'est la vie!

Saw on the news tonight that a guy in Washington state who had the virus was one of the ones given one of the medicines mentioned in today's press conference (can't remember which one and probably would butcher the spelling anyway) and he said he was symptom free in 48 hours. I'm not calling a party planner, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
