re: Current score. Corona vs flu

A vaccine can be made for coronavirus, just as it can be for thousands of different versions of a flu virus.

If that were true, there would be vaccines for SARS, MERS and the four coronaviruses that, along with certain rhinoviruses, cause the common cold. A vaccine for SARS has been “in the works” for 17 years, ever since it first manifested in 2003.

MERS vaccine research has been funded since 2012 when it first appeared in the Middle East. Still no vaccine after 8 years.
