I'm wondering if we're going to get a massive spike in the national numbers like we just got from Wuhan. So far they still haven't released that yet.
I would think so.
If the national numbers spike and the "suspected cases" drops substantially, I wouldn't be too worried about today's reports.
If the suspected cases rise along with a massive increase in "confirmed" cases, then we've got a ways to go still in China.

The CDC has said that even at the most accelerated timelines a vaccine was probably at least a year away from being approved.

In a race against the clock, a San Diego lab is scrambling to get a COVID-19 vaccine out and on the market. As the days go by, Inovio Pharmaceuticals is getting closer to releasing the desperately needed vaccine against the deadly virus.
Inovio Pharmaceuticals, which is located in Sorrento Valley, has also created a vaccine for the Zika virus, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and the vaccine for Ebola.

When Chinese scientists released the genetic sequence on Jan. 9, Inovio researchers got to work immediately and within 3 hours they had a vaccine for coronavirus, or COVID-19 as it is now being referred to.
"We have an algorithm which we designed, and we put the DNA sequence into our algorithm and came up with the vaccine in that short amount of time," said Dr. Smith.
The vaccine has been tested on mice and guinea pigs. It will next be tried on a group of human patients.

Just some info if that vaccine stort really is true.
Inovio(INQ) is traded on the NASDAQ. Closed at $3.38/share but is up to $3.58/share in aftermarket trading.

Being approved is the key. A LOT of paper involved before you can get the shot cleared for general release
It doesn’t help that this company specializes in an entirely novel way of doing vaccines

What's all the panic? Trump said this will be gone by April when it warms up....

@BNODesk
There are a number of cases in which people with coronavirus initially test negative. In Tianjin, health officials say a woman developed symptoms on January 25. Her tests on Feb. 5, 8, and 10 came back as negative. The test on Feb. 12 was positive for coronavirus.

I think they are playing fast and loose with the facts here.
I don't know anything about this but the CDC has been pretty clear that it's a long process to get approval. The current process can take up to 10 yrs. The CDC has said that any new vaccine would be at least a year away from approval, if everything went great.

The sponsor of a new vaccine product follows a multi-step approval process, which typically includes
An Investigational New Drug application
Pre-licensure vaccine clinical trials
A Biologics License Application (BLA)
Inspection of the manufacturing facility
Presentation of findings to FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory CommitteeExternal (VRBPAC)
Usability testing of product labeling
This company claims to have an Ebola vaccine but Merck has the only approved Ebola vaccine. It looks like this company is only in the early stages of the approval process.
I don't have a pony in this show but when something seems too good to be true...

15k infections is pretty incredible. Any insight into why that high
I think we have to take this with the same grain of salt that we have been taking the previous daily data. I still think the real areas to watch right now are Hong Kong and Singapore. They are both officially at 50 cases, which is pretty much in line with the pandemic spread models that have been published by various researchers.
Hong Kong isn't reporting on the status of the cases, at least not that I have seen. Singapore has said that they have 8 cases that are critical and might be beyond recover, the translation that I saw said that "they may succumb to the infection." Singapore is considered to have one of the better healthcare systems in the world. Also, they have started to report "isolated" cases that can't be traced back to China or contact with a known case.

CDC is a US organization correct? What authority do they have in China? Could the company sell to China direct?

44 more cases on that cruise ship docked in Japan, bring total to 218. It was 10 cases a week ago.

CDC doesn't have authority to approve new drugs in the US, that's the FDA (and the equivalent is the CFDA in China.) Even with expedited approval process, it is probably closer to 2 years away from prime time in either country.
Inovio is definitely playing fast and loose with terminology. For example, their first-in-human Zika trial just started enrolling last February, with data read out expected this year. That was only planned to be 24 subjects. That doesn't prove shite except that the vaccine probably does or doesn't kill you. That needs to be followed by larger move convincing studies before any regulatory agency will look at it.
Then it takes time to prove that a vaccine works .. remember, it's not something you can measure immediately. You have to immunize subjects at risk (some with the real product, some with placebo), let them go about their normal lives, and over time see if less people receiving the real vaccine develop the disease than those getting placebo.
This all takes time, even with a motivated and well-funded government/pharma company/population.
