VACCINE JUST WEEKS AWAY !

So maybe not a year away as originally thought.

28 FEB 20
Israeli scientists say they are just WEEKS away from developing a vaccine which will beat coronavirus
Officials expect the drug to be available within 90 days after it has been tested


This should be THE headline on all media outlets around the Worl to calm fears and stop the mass Worl-Wide panick and sell-off.

Anyway, i have emailed this news story to Sky News,BBC,CNN,Fox news et al but somehow i think they already know about this and prefer to ignore it as the corona virus is such great news for them.
