Coronavirus Outbreak: All the Secrets Revealed About the Covid-19 Pandemic. A complete Rational Guide of its Evolution, Expansion, Symptoms and First Defense

How Long Will It Take To Exploit A Serum?
A vaccination is still one year away — at least. A corona virus vaccine may
prevent infection and stop the disease from spreading. But it does take time
for the vaccines. While new technology, advances in genomics and improved
global collaboration have enabled researchers to move at unprecedented pace,
vaccine development remains a costly and risky operation. Scientists usually
have to start from scratch with every new outbreak. After the 2003 SARS
outbreak, it took about 20 months for researchers to get a vaccine ready for
human trials. (The vaccine was never needed, because it ultimately contained
the disease.) By the 2015 Zika outbreak, experts had brought down the
timetable for vaccine development to six months.
Now, they are hoping research from previous outbreaks will help further cut
the timeline. Scientists have already researched the current corona virus
genome and identified the proteins that are essential to infection. National
Institutes of Health scientists, in Australia and at least three companies are
working on candidates for vaccines.
If they do not face any unexpected challenges, a Phase 1 trial can be
completed within the next three months. The experts warned that it may also
take months, and even years, to carry out extensive testing after initial trials
that can confirm a vaccine is safe and effective. A vaccine will, in the best
case, be made available to the public a year from now.
What if I’m traveling?
Traveling to China at that time is possibly ill-advised. It is not clear how the
virus can be transmitted, and who is at the greatest risk of a poor result.
Hubei has been given a Level 4 travel advisory by the U.S. State Department
which means "do not fly" and is the highest level of alert. For the rest of

---

China, a Level 3 alert is in place. The biggest risk of travel to China right
now is that the Chinese government has imposed stringent quarantine and
travel bans. That said, if you have to go to China where there are reports of
the virus, experts recommend that you wear a mask, wash your hands
regularly and avoid anyone who's sick.
Remember that over - the-counter masks do not protect against airborne
diseases and masks will be ineffective if the virus mutates to become
airborne. In the United States the CDC is closely monitoring the status. There
are a total of 165 cases under investigation as of 29 January 2020. Four were
upheld. Arizona, Washington, California and Illinois are the states with
confirmed cases.
