Coronavirus vaccine took 1 year to make and STILL NO CURE for MS

I will never understand this. I feel one of the main reasons for the super fast vaccine creation is because Coronavirus destroyed world economies. The cure for MS will forever be on a back burner #coronavirusvaccine

What else but Covid-19? Brandon makes a 17 min long video (what else are you going to do whilst locked indoors cowering from the diseased masses?) with detailed explanations. - Different vibe from Aaron Boster and well worth subscribing to his channel too. - https://youtu.be/qpqPj97kimE

Latest WHO Report on Coronavirus (Covid-19) in China

If you are in the minority with me, those who enjoy going "Full Nerd", then get stuck into this. P. 12 para 4 and 6 make no mention of immunosuppressed patients and I wonder if that is because the use of such medicines is not widespread in China? Enjoy, https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/...

Coronavirus

Just curious if your ms nurse or consultant has been in contact with you regarding the situation with coronavirus? Giving advice on what to do and what not to do etc? Or is it all just about reading what's online and common sense? Especially those receiving DMTs.
