Better hope you are healthy, get it earlier so there is room in a hospital, and get ready for a real ****ty two weeks if you catch it. My biggest concern is getting it at work, it knowing I have it, and infecting my family before I have symptoms.

"The vaccine was created just 42 days after the genetic sequence of the COVID_19 virus, called SARS-CoV-2, was released by Chinese researchers in mid-January."

This is a direct quote from the article. Did you even read it? It's a brand new vaccine. The article also mentions the drug Remdisivir, which is what you're talking about. The vaccine the article focuses on is entirely new.
