Human testing for COVID-19 vaccine to start in the fall

Well here's some awesome news! Johnson & Johnson plans to start human testing for a Coronavirus vaccine in September, and it should be ready in early 2021. Partnering with the US government, they will invest $1 billion to create enough manufacturing capacity to create more than one billion doses of the vaccine!

Also, the FDA has approved a coronavirus test that delivers results in five minutes, and by April 1st (tomorrow!), 50,000 such kits can be delivered per day to the areas that need them most. This is NOT an at-home test; it still must me administered by a healthcare professional, but results can be determined on the same day, rather than the 48-72 hour period (or more) with the existing testing method.
