Really at this point you can just assume that everyone will get it even if they won't all show symptoms.

I had a two-week cold last month. I wonder if I had it. But I don't want to go all crazy speculation on a cold.

My mother developed a 105 degree fever last month with a dry cough; her tele-doctor told her "I somehow doubt that!" and she got prescribed Tamiflu, which did nothing.

I also don't want to go all crazy speculation on things, either, but it really does make you wonder.

I wonder if a vaccine is being made ?

The list of politicians who have tested positive continues to grow, so here is Wikipedia's list: [Link]

I don't know why I answer you, but yes, the US is working on a vaccine. China has one, but says it hasn't been fully tested for safety so it's currently only available for emergencies. (Not sure how a vaccine would be effective in emergencies.) Several other countries are working on one as well. I wouldn't expect one to be widely available until late this year or early next year.

this being Wikipedia, there's already a debate about deleting that article.

Also, when it comes to vaccines and the such... I'd also think there's some people trying to figure out some sorts of antiviral treatments that could work in these situations.
