re: #324 Eric The Fruit Bat

Given the fact that neither the SARS nor the MERS pandemics ever produced a vaccine, and given what we know about the current virus’s behaviour, I have a low confidence level that a vaccine for SARS-CoV2 will be produced, with one of the main reasons being that China refuses to release the information on Patient Zero.

SARS and MERs never had vaccines because the money dried up when they came under control.

What makes you think they know who “patient zero” was? Covid-19 looks like a variant of flu or a bad cold in most people — if they have symptoms at all. Surely it took a while to realize that this was something new.
