There is also the added possible problem that some countries might try to exert power to corner it for their own country first.

The Ebola vaccine took a lot longer then 18 months

The reality is, Den, that there is no way the government will impose a lockdown for 18 months. This one has been in place for just a few weeks and people are already fed up and infringing the rules.

Additionally, we will have run out of money well before even another three more months of this, so anyone who thinks this will carry on until we have a vaccine is going to be disappointed.

Back to work sooner rather than later, chaps.
