A lot of Airline Stocks bounced back up recently as coronavirus drug hopes rose. The troubled Airline stocks have bounced back after certain reports of a vaccine breakthrough in the fight against the coronavirus. Everybody is hoping that the vaccine can be developed as fast as possible. It also seems that the British Airways boss played down the virus’ impact on the industry.
Shares of International Consolidated Airlines (IAG) went up in the last 2 weeks. This happened as the sector made a recovery. This happened despite the virus death toll continually rising.
Investors have some comfort knowing that there is a slowdown in new daily virus cases in Hubei province. Beijing has also taken useful steps to put more cash into the economy.
A decade ago, creating the vaccine would be very difficult. Technology has improved. In modern times, scientists right now are trying to create the vaccine against the previously unknown virus fast enough to help end the outbreak of the virus.
They are trying to stop the spread of the new coronavirus that has already infected 10,000s of people (mainly in China). The virus has given rise to a respiratory condition now known as COVID-19.
Usually, making a new vaccine could take a decade or longer. Right now, researchers are optimistic that they can do it within months (by summer or autumn).
In medicine history, the first successful vaccine to be developed was introduced by Edward Jenner in 1796. It was the Smallpox vaccine.
