Can you point me?
I know with the flu vaccines they can start with plasmids and the VLP technique, but how to do that with a corona virus I don’t understand. The initial announcement by the Israeli company was overstated. What they had was a section of the virus ready to start work on. If that section can get the antibodies....

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm not a virologist nor an epidemiologist. I just follow trends after 70 years.

The one thing that has been proven by genome mapping is COVID-19 is a similar virus that causes influenza AND the common cold. The other very important aspect of COVID-19 is that it doesn't seem to mutate as does the cold/flu viruses. If that turns out to true, a vaccine will stop it. Maybe from that tried and true vaccine, they may learn how vaccinate against the ever mutating influenza and common cold.

I expect great advancements against viruses due to this one strain. Numerous virologists and epidemiologists are working the world over to stop this extremely contagious version of the flu. Remember, these people are REAL scientists and not global warming speculators.
