As I understood it two 30,000 double blind tests have just started will run for about 90 days before they understand the results.
Figuring at best very end of the year but of course first responders, ,medical workers and other essential people will come to the head of the line before us old folks.
Hoping early next year but we shall see.

Actually there are around 24 vaccine tests currently in progress. The top 4 are already producing a stockpile of shots for immediate distribution upon FDA approval. Moderna, Astrazenica, etc., have extremely good results so far. Moderna has said they expect to begin inoculations in October. Aside from that, the development of theraputics has significantly ramped. Doctors now say they have reduced the death rate by 80-85%.
This is not the old staid months upon months and interminable reviews process which only the US has been mired in. The process has been set free by this Administration and expect to be wowed.
