Something sounds amiss in that - maybe the writer was not careful of words



I suspect 30 days of trials overall .. not individual time



You are correct - 5 days usage has been the norm

That must be it.

FDA approves coronavirus vaccine candidate for Phase 2 study: Moderna



Massachusetts-based Moderna Therapeutics said Thursday that the FDA has given it the go-ahead for a 600-person Phase 2 study for its coronavirus vaccine candidate.



"The imminent Phase 2 study start is a crucial step forward as we continue to advance the clinical development of mRNA-1273, our vaccine candidate against SARS-CoV-2," Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement. "With the goal of starting the mRNA-1273 pivotal Phase 3 study early this summer, Moderna is now preparing to potentially have its first [Biologics License Application] approved as soon as 2021."

Even at "warp speed" a vaccine won't be available until 2021.

This is why delaying getting the virus(lockdowns) is not a serious option..



If we were to have a vaccine, next month, than yes, social distancing is a sound idea..



I live in a city of one and a half million..



Even with Alberta's high rate of testing, we don't know how many people are infected..



Some level of herd immunity is inevitable..



We still must guard elder care facilities and those with respiratory conditions.

It cannot hurt you, big guy. All it does is improve immune system and being passed to us from sunshine is as natural as it gets



Problem with sunshine is most cannot get enough sunshine on their skin for long enough time

Honestly I been saying this lately as well, with folks staying indoors, they are actually lowering their immune system. Sunlight is great for you.

As soon as the weather gets warmer, I'll be outside more than inside.

I try and at least go outside on my lunch break. Then there is my 2 hour round trip to work and back that helps with sunlight. On the weekend I been outdoors doing things around the house and working on the Jeep. I cant wait to go hiking and camping. Tried to go hiking last weekend but the road was closed to the one we were going to. A lot of hiking and walking areas are closed. Which is bullcrap.

Many parts of the country have experienced record cold temperatures except for the Western half of BC.
