Out of China, Russia, EU, U.S.

Imagine one of these countries curing all its people and jump starting their economy while the others continue to wither away

Well whoever comes up with the treatment is going to be rich

And whoever invests in a portfolio of pharmaceutical company stocks related to possible treatments will also be rich... possibly?

They don't have a hospital so they don't have the cure. I'm guessing Greenland.

I could see China coming out on top and not releasing details of the vaccine.

Europe hates trump. A place like germany could develop the vaccine and share it with most of Europe but keep the U.S. last.

The biggest issue is once the vaccine is created whichever country it is will keep it hush hush until they can gather supplies/produce enough of it for their own people. Big countries like China/Russia/U.S./India would try to claim the vaccine by paying the smaller country if they were to find it first

More likely to be the United Kingdom to come up with a vaccine first. Unlikely we have the capacity to produce it on a large enough scale though even for ourselves

that being said though, theres tons of vaccines out there already just going through trials. If anything its a case of whos willing to relax their rules enough to fast track its approval

Pretty much. Whatever company develops it will sell the others or, more likely, have their patent ignored and other nations (excluding the US) will just produce vaccine using that formula. Europe has a policy of openly ignoring medical patents and China has no respect for patents.

In general, though, a vaccine won't get things back on track any sooner (although it should help keep things going down the road) and a substantial number of Americans will likely avoid vaccination in general given the US's checkered history. More importantly, one nation's economy won't improve in the others are still in the shitter. China by itself would be fucked since its economy largely revolves around producing goods for other nations and it's already been killed by things like the tariffs. It needs consumer-states to sustain its growth, otherwise it'll collapse inward like a house of cards.

They've been working on the seasonal flu vaccine for 45 years, and the best claims for it are, when you do get the flu, it might be less severe and you might be able to return to work up to a half-day earlier. It's certainly ineffective in preventing 28,000-62,000 flu deaths per year in the US.

There was never a magic "vaccine" for the SARS coronavirus, it mutated and became less virulent, and people became immune, with no cases since 2004. I'm expecting SARS-2 to behave the same way, is there any real reason to think differently?

Pretty much every country on that list has their own vaccines in trials and some companies are already producing it ahead of the trials, so nobody is going to have that much of a head start as to make a real difference.

The US already tried that with a couple of promising German candidates. They offered a couple billion for exclusive rights to the vaccine and Germany was like "lolno."

How do you propose shining sunlight into people's lungs?
