Interesting, but a bit late. Unless this is a different study it was started over a month ago, according to my source in the biotech industry.
Since it's a government entity I would not be at all surprised if they were somewhat slow in informing the public

^ really, taking quotes from wikipedia.. i would say most if not all 'news', papers /networks have printed stories they've had to retract due to them not being factual. The difference between a legit organization making a mistake and a propaganda outlet is that propaganda outlets don't print retractions when they know what they're publishing is bullshit. Legit organizations do.
A lot of the time propagandists just double down.

I'm about 1/3 through. GREAT article! It has its own tab in my browser and I'll get back to it in a minute.
He did miss one thing but it's forgiveable, considering that it concerns breaking news announced just yesterday or today, which is that Kaiser Permanente in Washington State has announced that they are actually starting trials for a vaccine now. Now, as it they are right now selecting the 50 volunteers and the vaccine is ready to go! Let's all hope for their success, although it would be a real stroke of luck to get a hit on the first try.
EDIT: Finished it - again, great article.

The first clinical trials with volunteers was reported March 16. China has announced phase 2, but China is China.

Jeez, has it been that long? My how time flies when every day's the same! Or is that "drags"? Is there a difference anymore?
And yeah, China is definitely China.

I don't know if you're monitoring that article but you should be - the comments section is about as interesting as the article itself, and the author is actively engaged in the discourse!
