Vaccine is unlikely to be available to the public in 2020. Even if fast tracked, a new treatment will have to go through appropriate testing. Unless I've totally missed something, that seems to be the case from any reputable source I've checked.

Fergal: Ya, I have them here.

Covid 19 is another form of SARS. So they should have a head start when getting a vaccine as they should hopefully be able to the human trials and skip ahead of the other stages as they have been undertaken already during the first SARs. Thats not to say it will be a quick process. They think it is not like normal flu and it dosent mutate every year so once there is a vaccine it is unlikely to come back again.

The early stages can be speeded up with prior knowledge of similar coronaviruses and new ways of analysing new viruses, but the human trials are the slow part - like this article says, the trials can't go faster than human metabolism.

Starting to think full normality returning might be around Christmas/ January, allowing for one or two blips, false peaks. It might all end up very convenient in us just skipping a full year and all leagues picking up exactly where they left off. Just call the Premiership and all winter seasons the 2019/21 season.
Are we heading for trouble? Anybody know if what 'Bricks and Mortar' is talking about in the Times today is for real or a non runner. If for real it has the capability of holding progress back.
Nixon Morton from SFAI wrote to UEFA to say that he and fellow Council members are concerned that the conditions attached to the Government bailout of the FAI goes against the FIFA constitution
How long has he been on the council? As council members who have been there for 10+ years are expected to step down, this looks like a desperate attempt to retain his seat.
Rovers are surveying Season ticket holders with regards to getting back playing, i.e. social distancing preferences and the like, are other clubs doing this? seems to me from the questions in it that there might be a plan, but they are fishing for opinions before hand

I am glad that N Morton is highlighting the concerns of many regarding the recent takeover of the FAI. None of those in charge now seem to have had any significant involvement with Irish soccer. It must be very frustrating for those who have done the donkey work for years to nurture the game in Ireland to be cast aside.
Lol these turkeys are exactly the people who need to be excluded from Irish football.
Athlone Town 'in no way supports, shares nor endorses any of the concerns expressed by Mr Morton'
Are the Athlone Town board still the ones the supporters were boycotting and who were bringing in allegedly match-rigging players?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
