Volunteers Offered $4,500 To Be Infected With Coronavirus In Bid To Find Vaccine

LONDON (CBS Local) — In the race to develop a vaccine for the rapidly-spreading coronavirus, scientists in Great Britain are looking for 24 brave volunteers.
Hvivo, which owns the Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre in east London, is looking for volunteers willing to be injected with the 0C43 and 229E strains of the coronavirus as part of research into the development of a vaccine.
These strains are far less serious than the COVID-19 strain currently spreading across the world, giving them similar respiratory symptoms.
Volunteers selected for the program will be compensated to the tune of £3,500, or about $4,500, according to the Daily Star and the Daily Mail.
Volunteers will be kept in isolation and on a restricted diet for two weeks with no exercise or physical contact with any other person.
Hvivo’s plans still need to be approved by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency before any testing can begin.
If you’re interested in participating, visit Hvivo’s website at FluCamp.com.
Researchers in Seattle have also begun recruiting healthy volunteers to participate in a clinical trial for a vaccine developed by the biotechnology company Moderna Therapeutics, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The vaccine trial is expected to launch by the end of April and will take 14 months but volunteers don’t need to be quarantined. They will receive up to $1,100 in total.
Health experts have warned that a vaccine is unlikely to be approved in time to halt the current coronavirus outbreak.

Volunteers could be paid £3,500 to be infected with the coronavirus as scientists race to find a vaccine.
The Queen Mary BioEnterprises Innovation Centre, London, is recruiting 24 people for the study.
They will be injected with two weaker strains of the deadly virus – which has killed more than 3,800 people worldwide – giving them similar respiratory symptoms.
A jab developed by the company Hvivo will then be tested. Patients will remain in quarantine for two weeks to see if it is successful.
Some 35 other vaccines are in development, and the UK government has promised an extra £46million in the fight against coronavirus.
However, experts have said a vaccine is unlikely to be approved in time to halt the current epidemic, which has so far seen more than 110,000 people across the globe fall ill with COVID-19.

My take:
So ESPN and HOLLYWOOD are scared shitless.
How long before America and the world discovers what Black America found during the NFL Kap boycott: We can not only live without thier entertainment, we can thrive with the extra time in our week and money back in our pocket.
How long before people start looking at that cable bill and seeing how much they are paying for ESPN. The "price gouging" was going on for decades. Look at the incentives and "please don't forget about us" emails every company is sending.
Lyft/uber
Restaurants
Movie companies
Airlines, hotels, car rental companies
We are getting bombarded with marketing emails disguised as PSA announcements from companies who's industries are being affected.
If people are smart, which most won't be, they would decline to accept a return to normalcy when that means paying for data overages, cable channels you never watch, flight change fees/pick your seat fees, hotel resort fees etc.

Newborn tests positive for COVID-19 in London
By Jeanna Bryner - Live Science Editor-in-Chief 18 hours ago
Doctors don't know if the virus passed to the baby in the womb, or some time during or after delivery.

A newborn in London has tested positive for the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, just minutes after being born to a mother who was also infected with the virus, according to news reports.
Days prior to giving birth, the woman was admitted to a hospital for symptoms of pneumonia, finding out she had tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 only after her baby was born at North Middlesex hospital in Enfield, in north London, The Guardian reported.
According to The Sun, the baby was being treated at the hospital, while the mother had been transferred to an infectious-diseases hospital.
It is not known when the child contracted the disease. "We can't say it happened while the baby was still in the womb," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of Preventive Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, told Live Science. The baby could have also contracted the virus during, or immediately after, birth, Schaffner said.
Some infections pass from a mother to her baby through the mother's placenta, while the fetus is still developing in the womb, or from bodily fluids during delivery. For instance, the Zika virus — which is in another family of viruses from this coronavirus — can pass to newborns both in the womb and during delivery, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When passed to a baby in the womb, the Zika virus can cause microcephaly and other severe brain defects, the CDC said.
"That was a terrible phenomenon that happened with Zika," Schaffner said.
The first known newborn who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 did so within 36 hours of birth. In that case, it also wasn't clear whether transmission happened in the womb.
Following that news, researchers analyzed samples from nine women who came down with COVID-19 when they were 36 to 39 weeks pregnant, and were admitted to a hospital in Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. All of the women delivered via C-section. To find out if and perhaps when the virus could be transmitted, the team looked at samples of amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, breast milk and samples from the newborn's throat.
None of those samples tested positive for the coronavirus, and both the mothers and babies survived, according to that study, published Feb. 12 in the journal The Lancet. In those cases, at least, the virus didn't appear to pass between a mother and her developing fetus.
CORONAVIRUS SCIENCE AND NEWS
—Coronavirus in the US: Map & cases
—What are the symptoms?
—How deadly is the new coronavirus?
—How long does virus last on surfaces?
—Is there a cure for COVID-19?
—How does it compare with seasonal flu?
—How does the coronavirus spread?
—Can people spread the coronavirus after they recover?
Right now, the bigger question is how the baby will fare.
"Does the baby become sick?" Schaffner asked. "Does the baby also develop pneumonia?"
Children infected with this coronavirus are mostly showing mild symptoms. But there isn't enough data yet to say whether babies would fall into this category.
"Newborns are particularly vulnerable, and they may be exceptions to that general rule since they are so vulnerable," Schaffner said.
As the coronavirus spreads across the globe, everyday life is being transformed with social-distancing measures, school closures, event cancellations, and in some cases, entire city lockdowns.
Though pregnant women tend to be at a higher risk of catching some respiratory infections and developing more severe symptoms from those infections, that doesn't seem to be the case for the coronavirus, according to a report published at the end of February by the World Health Organization-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019. Of 147 pregnant women with either confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, only 8% had a severe form of the disease and just 1% were in critical condition, according to that report.
