Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2020 This is the testimony for the Senate, the testimony about 1 of the drugs in testing phase (Moderna) is at 27:44. https://www.c-span.org/video/?471837-1/white-house-coronavirus-task-force-members-testify-coronavirus-response-reopening-phases That vaccine is backed by 100s of millions of grants if successful. The Grant's are for development, and then if approved by FDA, expanded manufacturing and supply capability. Important to keep in mind there are many, many pieces of this puzzle. Fast tracking, approvals, manufacturing and supply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I may watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like stupidity to driver up the numbers from the sounds of it. Move along, nothing to see here just normal posturing. Testimony at Senate hearing is US death count is probably low, how low is impossible to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phase 2 and 3 in late spring/ summer. Think I can stick by my earlier take on this. As for House, if I said that, it was a mistake. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 We had haircuts today for the first time since early March. A stylist that my wife has used for 35 years came to the house. We sat on our own stool in the kitchen and everyone wore masks. For everyone's piece of mind, I did a forehead temperature screening with an infrared thermometer before we started. Hopefully, we didn't let the wolf in. I was fine going longer without a haircut, my wife was not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the cuts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, so then you need to factor in approval, manufacturing and supply/distribution which is why I think administration announced "by end of the year" at Friday's press conference. If it is approved and available by time school starts that would be outstanding. Travis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2020 Here is an article, month ago, about the over 400 million in federal Grant's (NIH) Moderna has been preapproved for.

billybob Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Starting to wonder if any contributing here watched the video. When I responded yesterday about the fall and winter for a fastracked vaccine, thought we would have a good response to good news, as I related it. Guess my enthusiasm(underwhelming) as per usual, struck once again. Anyway, watched the hearing which is near 3 1/2 hours long on my phone. If 90 percent turns out true, should give hope to those waiting for treatments, and a vaccine. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cold hard facts, no spin, so maybe doesn't strike a chord, but I'm very happy on the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is wearing a mask too tough for you or are you just ascared of looking like a wuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
