    From what I've read, Moderna has nowhere near the production capacity for this scale. Seems like if they had a breakthrough they'd have to be partnered with another company but there does seem to be some support from the Administration with Moderna through Kushner.  Past that, their recent data release from last week was based off results of n=40 or 45.

    I like AstraZeneca as the leader. 

    Moderna would have to team up with a producer, but Pfizer or Lonza would kill for that contract I bet

    I've been thinking  that this thing will run it's course before a vaccine is commercially viable. 

    And by run it's course it will be at an infection rate that is manageable for the local health infrastructure. 

    Seems unlikely. For one thing, there are over 100 vaccines under development and 23 of them are in human trials. That's the "good news" side of why I think you're probably wrong.

    The other reason this won't happen: The virus has been unbelievably deadly and the infection rate has been around 10%. Basically, this thing won't "end" or "blow over" or "run its course" before another 50-60% of the population are infected, and there's no way the health care system could handle that.

    There are going to be so many new cases starting in August when colleges report. The kids are not going to stop socializing and partying. Closing the bars for good will help but they figure to go to their own parties in that case.

    That's definitely concerning. We'll see what happens I guess.

    I would hope scale will be supported both through gov'ts and gates foundation efforts.

    Oh for sure. I think you'll find a bunch of huge vaccine producers will be paid to scale up any one of these vaccine technologies. There are entire companies which exist just to contract out process units to pharmaceutical customers.
