Pfizer has announced that they expect to finish phases II and III of their vaccine's trials by October and get FDA approval by then, starting distribution immediately so that they will deliver 20 million doses by the end of the year (and hundreds of millions in 2021). This will be an absolute record, something I previously didn't think would be possible. Hopefully health care workers and first responders will be among the people given these 20 million (most likely politicians will get them too). Pfizer is outsourcing some of their regular medications production, to focus on making the vaccine. They are repurposing their biggest factory to manufacture the vaccine rather than their regular medications.

Moderna and Inovio are also starting phase II trials.

There is hope, after all.

Please take COVID-19 seriously; don't panic but don't deny it; practice social distancing (stay 6ft from people); wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face, don't gather with too many people, so that you help us contain it.
