Vaccine

It's now widely reported that the World Health Organization(WHO) has officially designated COVID-19, the corona virus, as a pandemic (widespread, affecting a high percentage of people). 

"[T]the number of cases outside of China has increased 13-fold over the last two weeks and the number of countries infected has tripled."

But good news is on the horizon. An oral vaccine is on track in Israel for public use after a few months of testing and paperwork. "State-funded Migal Galilee institute has been working for 4 years on a vaccine that could be customized for various viruses, so it had a head start when COVID-19 emerged."

This new oral vaccine "turn this disease into a very mild cold.”
