Just an update, I read that they are planning to submit an emergency authorization in the 3rd week of this month, which is like next week, I guess. Then they say they have the capacity to produce 30-40M doses by year's end (15-20M patients worth, since everyone needs two). Their target estimate is 1.2 billion (600M patients) per year, which obviously isn't enough for the world's appetite, so hopefully some other vaccine works out, too. Hopefully their success portends the success of others, too, since it's all the same biology.
